PS, this guy, to save the google. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_O%2...

Very wealthy. Very down to earth. Very not in the Epstein files.

The weird thing about being ND is that our first impressions are much more reliable than our second or third - cos that's when conformity flows into the mix.

..was at the time, I just put the pieces together after I asked about the nice car and what he does. He said he was in construction, I asked what he built, and he said motorways, airports, etc. :D

Some would have turned down the lift, but we'd already had a nice chat. Passed the ND vibe check.

Yup. It's part of how I ended up with adventure gamer friends.

I am sometimes amazed at the risks I took as a young woman... but I trusted my spidey sense a lot. It is how, for example, I accepted a lift from Ray O'Rourke to the nearest station when our plane was mega-late... Had no idea who he...

Ich am Sonntag: Verfahrensdokumentation zum ersetztenden Scannen. 🥱

Oh, I've seen the equivalent before - a translation association. Tens of thousands unaccounted for. Other stuff I can't put in public. But yeah. I know the type.

That means, as Guillfoyle once said, "The best is yet to come."

But if only one person is responsible for the offline backups, and the online backups are fully automated, sharing any details whatsoever is an unnecessary security risk. I mean, what, want me to share the passwords for the encrypted hard drive, too?

Sigh. Security best practices are *situational*.

The final irritation is that the template is designed very much for businesses, without examples for freelancers or home users. In some cases, it also adds unnecessary security risks:
It wants me to make the backup locations and script locations public, as attached assets in the procedural doc.

The other part that makes this sort of ironic is that many documents are already valid without a signature. Particularly documents stored in a non-manipulable/immutable format, such as a Restic archive with offline backups. Which you know, I have to have to go paperless in the first place.

Oh god... I say, with irony.

Probably not shrimp. There's an observant Jewish person involved and I'm vegan myself... Sadly, vegan things rarely smell as bad when they go off. Dammit.

Soya can be a bit bad when it's off, but it takes forever. Slow burn revenge I guess.

I care about the overall mission and it does tie into my career. But the constant disrespect is pretty bad for my mental health. For now, I've said I'm skipping the next two meetings... But if they don't realise how fucking awful this was, I'm quitting. It's the absolute final chance I think.
February 5, 2026 at 8:46 PM
Hahaha, that might have been better.

Lol, of course it's in the context of the raid. Like he'd have seen her underwear in any other circumstances in the last 15 years.

Totally believe it's real - but where did you get these?
