I am fond of my buckwheat pillow. 2 minutes in the microwave and tucked in bed. Lasts all night.

Thought for the day…
“In any given circumstance, you can rarely go wrong betting on human stupidity.”

Chalk my comments up to the operational concerns of someone who was personally responsible (by law) monetarily for security breachs of any magnitude. I’m aware that isn’t common diligence in popular contemporary technology. I’ve never experienced the use of a single tool that could manage security in and of itself. Wordfence looks helpful but that would be all it is if their PR is to be believed. Please accept my apologies for being cranky.

@mmeadway @jimcarroll@futurist.info @JimCarroll@jimcarroll.com @atomicpoet Having had to deal with security in a practical manner myself I find myself queasy when well meaning ‘experts’ advocate for spreading potential vulnerabilities via federated resources. My limited experiences with federated systems taught me that federations only work went secured systems are kept secure to those they link to. (Awkwardly wordy, huh?)

Abandonded my WP bloG a few years ago due to the lackluster attitude of the service with regard to security. Is the service any better now?
