Y'all stay safe!

Had therapy on Friday, and I found myself talking about how our timeline makes me feel infinitely more autistic/neurodivergent lately because there are so many areas in which I do not understand the fucking thinking and decisionmaking going on.
And trying to examine it makes me feel like someone from an alien civilization.
Fellow geek just pointed me at the RethinkDNS android app, which is an incredibly full-featured firewalling app including ad/tracker blocking, rulemaking, granular app blocking depending on wifi/mobile, and more. Native proxy support.
TLDR this allows me to block 80% of the surveillance bullshit in my android devices, with the ability to do much more with domain or IP-based rulesets.

I have accomplished many things this week, but by far the most productive was the hour-plus I took yesterday to lay back and daydream in the middle of the afternoon.
ugh, my office has become a series of piles again.
i am going to have to do something about it. like, clean.
only thing worse than all the pre-Blackhat vendor emails is all the post-Blackhat vendor emails
Maybe I'm being too optimistic or naive, but this image gives me a little more hope for the future.
