Cloudflare just "verified" I'm a human four times in a row, and appears to be stuck in an infinite "verifying you're a human" loop. What a lovely service (/s).

I love cyber security compliance. All the effort which should be put into actually fixing all the underlying issues of technical debt, process flaws, documentation and skills gaps is wasted ticking boxes to create the fiction that something effective has been done.

#ABQ is absolutely terrorized by crime and people experiencing houselessness. Big box stores employ cosplaying security. Houses are fenced and gated.

> We received digital confirmation of data destruction (shred logs).
