This makes me so twitchy. This patient status page, served over HTTP and not HTTPS, has the credentials as query parameters. Such shocking op sec in a healthcare environment, both as a deployed solution and a commercial product.

We know the username, have a head start on the password (with a good idea of the encoding), and the presence of a “user privileges” tab [not pictured] suggests the account has more permissions than necessary.

Dear god. 🤦

Here I stand before a row of sinks, two of the three motion-activated sensors don’t work. None of the soap dispensers are filled, but a standalone bottle of extremely watered down soap has been set out as a remedy. None of the paper towel dispensers are filled, but a sodden roll sits in a pool of water.

“Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
-Shelley’s “Ozymandias”

And there is the other scoring, but he's off?

Two players in this lineup will likely be elsewhere next season. The goal came from the one you didn't expect.

I've been on a self-imposed social media hiatus, dealing with some family health issues, being extremely busy otherwise, and just wanting to generally burrow and hide from a world that seems intent to tear itself apart.

Sometimes life feels pretty heavy. But here and now, observe as I emerge from my recovery chrysalis, resplendent in my attempt to cope.

Cheers to those who were so kind to check on me. I am OK. :cheers:

1. instant bid button (result pictured)
2. call, instructed to do the instant bid or press 0 to speak to someone. That rings forever. VM? No.

Expectations are loooooowww...

Orange Cardamom ice cream while out on a sunny afternoon walk with my wife on the greenway.

Not cake, but @Lee6@mstdn.social would surely approve.

Finished reading “Erasure” by Percival Everett.

“Monk”, a largely overlooked black academic author, rages at the publishing industry & writes a deliberately offensive ghetto-lit parody. They love it, offering serious money. Satire collides with financial necessity.

A savage rebuke of publishing industry racism paired with genuinely moving dementia subplot. Uneven but provocative - raises uncomfortable questions about authenticity and selling out.

4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Doctor’s office called to say the appointment I made online would take longer than 15 minutes. I am to understand that the scheduling portal doesn’t show it, but my primary care physician only has two longer slots available each day and those are booked all the way through to the end of April. Would I like to see the PA instead or reschedule?

Me: Can we break it up? Most topics are not urgent.
Them: yes but you’re only to talk about this one thing.

MOTM, for me is Konate. The goal was garbage and of no importance, but he was otherwise excellent today and performed under an emotional cloud of grief. Seeing a team, still grieving the loss of Jota, surround and support Ibou in his grief. Truly, you’ll never walk alone. ❤️

Other candidates: Ekitike (who really would be MOTM otherwise), Wirtz, Szoboszlai. Gakpo didn’t have a goal or an assist, but was fantastic. Slot? I think an adjustment around 25’ changed the game.

Momentum.
