    LOL #spammer identified themselves as Google, followed by something in Cyrillic script.

    First of all, there is no reason for Google to contact me, but even if they did, they would use EN_us with Latin characters.

      Dilbert Comic Strip on March 07, 1995
      from Dilbert
      Dilbert sits at his desk and turns around as the Boss enters. The Boss says, "We need to finish your program twice as fast, so I'm adding a person to help you." The Boss says as he leaves Dilbert's cubicle, "You might need to train him a little before he's productive." Dilbert waves his arms as he thinks, "Warning! Warning! Dr. Smith." Dilbert sits at his desk with the new co-worker, a small man with big ears and a disheveled shirt collar. Pointing at the monitor, he asks Dilbert, "Tell me again what the big glowing thing is."

    I don't normally use the service's own client. I generally use #OpenVPN with whatever GUI front-end is provided with the OS repositories, but in this case, I'm using #Wireguard and found no front-end. (I've done the "write a script to launch the VPN" thing before, but I dislike when the #VPN disconnects, but the Internet connection still works. That could leave you unprotected for some time until you notice the change.)

    I wish they would have either given him his vaccination anyway or at least contacted the proper county and made arrangements to have the vaccination administered to the patient.

    I went with #Mullvad #VPN. The connection is perceptibly slower, but the DNS errors are gone. The original plan was to get both Mullvad and #NordVPN, but I think I'll just use the one for a while.

    #Hotel_INET (whether "wired" or #Hotel_Wi-Fi) is generally not trustworthy enough to use without a VPN. When #Tunnelr (a now-closed VPN service) shut down, I didn't get their announcement. I was in a hotel in #MO and found a large list of sites that were suddenly blocked because I couldn't log into my VPN.

    In that case, the hotel's service provider was local, so when I told the lady at the front desk I was going to move to another hotel over the blocking, the hotel manager called and put someone from the service provider on the phone ... he then logged into the firewall and edited the rules until I was satisfied.

    Still trying to push back against the 7-7-7 schedule that upper management is trying to impose on us. We have people driving to roving field sites, who need to be rested, so they do not have traffic collisions.

    On the positive side, the IT department of one of the state agencies we're working with has finally spun up its activity, so that they are equal (or even a little more than equal) partners. It is welcome assistance.

    Fry’s Electronics permanently closing all stores nationwide KRON4

    >SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) – Fry’s Electronics is going out of business.
    >
    >KRON4 has confirmed that the iconic Bay Area retailer is permanently closing the doors of all stores nationwide.

    >The company has changed its website so that it now just shows a goodbye message.

    >The message says in part,
    >
    > “After nearly 36 years in business as the one-stop-shop and online resource for high-tech professionals across nine states and 31 stores, Fry’s Electronics, Inc. (“Fry’s” or “Company”), has made the difficult decision to shut down its operations and close its business permanently as a result of changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company will implement the shut down through an orderly wind down process that it believes will be in the best interests of the Company, its creditors, and other stakeholders.
    >
    > The Company ceased regular operations and began the wind-down process on February 24, 2021. It is hoped that undertaking the wind-down through this orderly process will reduce costs, avoid additional liabilities, minimize the impact on our customers, vendors, landlords and associates, and maximize the value of the Company’s assets for its creditors and other stakeholders.”
