1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what was going on this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ showing my art of nature observations from my Tucson, AZ yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: rain hiding the mountains; Mexican Fence Post Cactus; & Milkweed with Aphids.

When an entire class of technology states on the packaging that it was made in China but intended "for overseas use only," this should really give you pause before plugging it into your network.

You will find this verbiage on a lot of Android TV streaming boxes for sale at the major retailers. There's a very good reason the country that makes this crap doesn't want it on their own networks. My advice: If you have one of these Android streaming boxes on your network or get one as a gift, toss it in the trash. I'll have a lot more about this in the New Year, but these things are responsible for building out a botnet that currently has ~2M devices and is growing rapidly. https://blog.xlab.qianxin.com/kimwolf-botnet-en/
