Mystery bot traffic from China floods websites, puzzling cybersecurity experts This has been happening to us on and off for months. Like the article says, it doesn’t seem to be malicious. None of our security systems has flagged anything, which I’m fairly certain would have happened by now were there anything to flag. It’s just …
I Might Be Able To Keep this Down If I Really Concentrate
You ever hear about something and all at once think “I sure am curious how that would taste” and “I do not want that thing in the same city as my mouth”? This is one of those moments for me. If you assumed the developers would’ve taken inspiration from fruity classics like Trix and Froot …

Oh Jesus! That’s You? I Thought It Was Just The Team Again!
The only Oshawa Generals fan I know I know for sure is Matt, whose Tall Can Audio podcast you should make some time to check out if you haven’t. It’s almost always a solid listen if you like some combination of sports, beer, music, wrestling or media, which I assume you must since you’re here. …
