It's the end of the good cherry (Rainier) season. Time for a clafouti.

Found on a random bench on a random stretch of a walking/biking trail. Anyone have a theory of what these were trying to be?

Hey @Patreon@mstdn.social , I'm not interested in forcing the people I support to take time to keep us "engaged" with bs like 'quips'. I'm supporting them because I like the stories/art/whatver they make. Don't distract them from that with garbage like this.

UGH. #patreon #patreonfail

I just had to slap quite the bandaid on our Splunk ingester. We were getting DDoS'd by a bunch of failed kerberos requests from certain gateway windows hosts resulting in the security log overwhelming our splunk license.

The bandaid was to add that eventID to the blacklist on things that get sent to the indexer.

I also opened a ticket saying "find a fail2ban for windows to fix this properly."

I wonder if that'll ever happen.

I do not like being blind to events like this.

From a fortune(1) I just got:

Frank was very on to something.

There was a series of disruptions in transit in Seattle just after the whirled cup concluded here. It seems they deferred the monthly maintenance during the event and that came back to bite them just a bit.

The one that impacted me was the hatch that opened and took out catenary wires in one of the stations, shutting that part of LINK lightrail down for pretty much the whole day.
