Health board apologizes for phishing staff with with bogus vacation day
Getting the sense that the wrong executives clicked on the phishing link.
In a previous job I always wanted to send out a phishing test offering free Red Sox tickets but was told no because too many people would click on it. I dont work for that organization anymore.
It would be nice to log into work and not see over 100 unread "URGENT" messages greeting me while I drink my morning coffee. Just once I would like to sign in and see an empty mailbox. Just once.
Migrated from TT-RSS to FreshRSS as a self hosted Docker RSS reader running on a Proxmox VM.
The FreshRSS interface is a bit different and will take some getting use to but so far it is fast and I have no other major compliants.
I see that there is a LXC for FreshRSS but I already had a Docker server set up behind a local reverse nginx proxy.
Next step is to configure local image caching as I want the images loaded form the server and not directly from the host website.
TT-RSS was good for a long time, but its a bit buggy and the Docker containers were throwing errors. I did not have the time to troubleshoot to keep running.

SpaceX buys AI Coding Agent Cursor for $60 Billion via WSJ.
Ugh, an update broke my ancient docker-compose environment and I was forced to update to docker.
Update worked but now the nginx reverse proxy broke and is not returning 443 for the proxy sites.
The root of the nginx is working but the other sub sites are not. Now I need to dig into the nginx config to figure out what is happening. Very frustrating for a Friday.
Office KCups are underwhelming. Its the generic Donut Shop Coffee pods. They work in a pinch but not my favorite.
Got myself some Death Wish Coffee dark roast KCups and the afternoon is looking much brighter.
Still look like hell on my Teams video calls, but at least I am awake.
Ill eat about anything once. But this... is a hard NOPE. Also, why would the scientists first instinct when they find 5000 year old mummy soup, would be to make bread out of it.
Scientists find yeast in frozen mummy's guts, use it to make sourdough bread.

More than 5,300 years ago, Oetzi the Iceman was strolling through the Alps on the border of Austria and Italy when he was killed by an arrow in the back.
Trying out the 432hz music thing. Have it droning away quietly in the background and it does seem to have a calming effect. Maybe it will made the day less cranky. Time will tell.
For AWS environments it is a good idea to keep track of allocated IP addresses and DNS Route53 reservations.
If you whitelist IPs on the ALB or ELB regularly audit those IP addresses.
It is easy for an IP address to get abandoned and reallocated to third party that would now have access to your systems.
The same for DNS entries. If you retire a service but not remove the DNS from Route53, a third party could take over that IP and now your DNS is sent to a third party service. This is a common tactic for malicious and scam sites to use your company name to drive traffic to their site.
Regular audits and system offboarding processes will help take care of these issues and save you many headaches.
Can you run a house from electricity generated from a stationary bike?
Sorta, too much power is lost in heat, resistance, and system inefficiency.
Its a fun project to think about.
