実家のネットワークについて調べる必要ができて、PPPoEとかIPoEとかでつながってるっぽいのを知りました。僕に家のはケーブルモデムがMACアドレスで認証してもらってあとはルータが直接IPv4とIPv6とでパケットをやりとりしてくれてるもんだと思ってたんだけど、ちがうのかな。日本のネットワークはなんかむずかしいねえ。

Can anyone vouch for iceout.org? Especially after reading about how awful the ICEBlock app is and was, I'm a bit wary of referring folks to a service that I don't know much about.

iceout.org sends up a few red flags for me (very corporateized and OSS-hostile terms of service, only social media links to Facebook and TikTok, Google Forms link for "support us," list 501c3 but no links back to governance or members), so I want to do my due diligence here?

This morning in Minneapolis:

Somebody posted in one of the local chats that their neighbor didn’t come home last night, looking for help finding them. Family doesn’t know where they are. They’d been taking the legal path to seek asylum. ICE doesn’t have their name (but that means very little; they hide names, kidnap anonymously, even discard people’s IDs).

Meanwhile, confirmed ICE sightings are ramping up in my area now after some relative early morning quiet.

Just in case you wondered how things are going here.

This being said, yes, OpenBSD is mostly based in Canada and Theo de Raadt has always had a very uncompromising stance on nonsense coming from the US. Even got in trouble with the US government before.

So OpenBSD is probably your best bet if you want stuff that is "independent" from Trumpolino. And the OpenBSD Foundation is also based in Canada.

Make of that what you will.

做菜有時候成功，有時候不成功。早上繼續挑戰用不鏽鋼鍋做蘑菇歐姆蛋，又變成蘑菇和炒蛋了。為了做菜設了兩個鬧鐘，那是每日午、晚餐必須進廚房開始備料的時間。

育兒必須小夫妻兩人協力，才能避免其中一人被壓垮，這之餘還有洗衣晾衣、吸地板等零碎家事，構思餐點內容並動手製作實在太花時間，自己做一次才知道常態性負責家庭三餐是多累的事。刻板印象中都是媽媽做的事，如今我們得要三人分擔；雖然說弟弟也是要在家上班，但廣大的職業婦女可是一人做完我們三人的工作。

到底是我們太廢，還是上一輩就是忙於這些所以沒有時間留給耐心教養？昨天和弟弟說一句「我又不必為這個家庭負責，當然很輕鬆」，時間到了我終究要回國，留下來的弟弟和弟媳要繼續扛這個小家庭沉沉的壓力，延後回國的時間，是我的仁至義盡。

おはよう！

A few days ago, a client’s data center (well, actually a server room) "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G.

I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an alert.

The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving.

To make a long story short: the company deals in gold and precious metals. They have an underground bunker with two-meter thick walls. They were targeted by a professional gang. They used a tactic seen in similar hits: they identify the main power line, tamper with it at night, and send a massive voltage spike through it.

The goal is to fry all alarm and surveillance systems. Even if battery-backed, they rarely survive a surge like that. Thieves count on the fact that during holidays, owners are away and fried systems can't send alerts. Monitoring companies often have reduced staff and might not notice the "silence" immediately.

That is exactly what happened here. But there is a "but": they didn't account for my Uptime Kuma instance monitoring their MikroTik router, installed just weeks ago. Since it is an external check, it flagged the lack of response from all IPs without needing an internal alert to be triggered from the inside.

The team rushed to the site and found the mess. Luckily, they found an emergency electrical crew to bypass the damage and restore the cameras and alarms. They swapped the fried server UPS with a spare and everything came back up.

The police warned that the chances of the crew returning the next night to "finish" the job were high, though seeing the systems back online would likely make them move on. They also warned that thieves sometimes break in just to destroy servers to wipe any video evidence.

Nothing happened in the end. But in the meantime, I had to sync all their data off-site (thankfully they have dual 1Gbps FTTH), set up an emergency cluster, and ensure everything was redundant.

Never rely only on internal monitoring. Never.
