Finally! The only app I really needed was to be able to create my ssh keys, that was honestly a little frustrating not being able to create ssh keys on my Chromebook. I used a raspberry pi for that. Of course, now that I think about it, the VPN my work uses has a Debian client so technically now I could go full Chromebook again, not having a Windows box would be cool.
Because who doesn't cook scrambled eggs with hairy bikers?

Canon cameras taken over in Japan because of default passwords.
From the article:
" The city of Yachiyo noticed the problem on April 24 and also found that the password for the camera had been altered. The city cut off the camera from its network and reported it to police, it said.
The city of Ageo realized the hacking two days later.
"We had not predicted this kind of situation," said an Ageo city official. "
Really? you couldn't conceive and prepare for this type of an attack happening? First thing I do on all of my equipment that comes with a standard password is CHANGE THE FREAKING PASSWORD

One thing I like about Ubqiuiti Cameras is you can change the default username too.
I suggest Ubiquiti and metal conduit to put the cables in. Put all devices except the APs in a sealed box.

Just set up a new scanner on Linux. As always, the hardest thing is believing how easy it all is.
Which scanner?

Kids are at a trampoline park right now.
When they get back they will be tired. I remember taking my kids to places like that to burn off some of their energy. Usually though I did it with them which made me even more tired. Found memories though.

"How the sausage gets made"
Do you want to know how the sausage gets made, by following a damn recipe! Process is the key to improvement, follow process!
I worked in a butcher shop and have made sausage. I don't see what is so bad about making sausage. I like sausage over bacon anyday.

So the unthinkable has happened, I got a Samsung Galaxy S9 and am testing out Android.
Why oh why Samsung? I hate Samsung Android phones. They are the worst. Love my Google Pixel 2XL
I had a Google device before and didn't like it. Samsung is the one that everyone keeps saying is so good.
I hate with a passion all the bloatware Samsung puts on their devices, and I do not like their interface. LG is good, so is Motorola. I like the new Pixel 2XL. Had the Google Nexus phone and I really liked it.
Be careful with that M work around here.
I never got updates with Samsung, I got updates with LG for my Andriod Phones. I had the V10, V20, K7, G6. Wife has the V30. I went to the Pixel 2 XL after my G6. My friend has the Motorola and he gets updates on a regular basis as well, only reason I mentioned them. Samsung has shown that it doesn't care where Google wants to take its phones. I believe LG keeps their phone as close to stock Andriod as possible. I will customize my Andriod how I like it. I don't want Samsung's garbage on there, just to have to work around it.
