  4. #antiai #schools
    I had a chance to speak today at the ward meeting for our kid’s School District. They get input on from parents and kids and teachers on various subjects.
    Today's topic was "Concerns about technology in the classroom".
    The kid's session was just finishing up as I arrived for the parents session.
    Going around the table, each of the about 25 people, a mix of parents, school council members, and teachers had an opportunity to voice their opinions, concerns etc.
    Officially there was no focus on AI to allow for other topics, but AI use was the majority topic.
    Most of the concerns raised were about honesty/cheating, how to use AI appropriately, skill atrophy from AI and other tech use.
    I was 3/4 the way around the table. I was the first to speak about the ethical, moral, environmental and industry capture hazards.
    Raising those issues I posed this rhetorical question: Is this something we want to normalize with allowing/endorsing it's use and thus the harms?

  9. I was given a sticker for #UTAW the tech union at #EMFCamp. Recently I've been checking them out with an eye to joining.

    However, their current campaigns are about Palestine (fair enough but generic), employee surveillance (mostly happening in customer service rather than tech) and getting recognised by Apple. I'm not seeing anything about resisting back-to-office mandates or harmful overtime / crunch practices from tech employers, which are AIUI more common in my industry.

    It feels more like "tech people doing a trade union" than "a trade union for tech people". It doesn't feel like something I want to support with member fees. Is this the best we can hope for? Am I getting something wrong?

    (and yes, I know I can join as a member, and volunteer countless hours of beating my head against a wall to fail to change the organisation's approach. I already spent decades doing that in other fields and have no desire to repeat the experience)

  19. When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy

    Hello beautiful people! Welcome to a new review! For this review, I get into horror writer Nat Cassidy’s creepy and hard-to-put-down book, When the Wolf Comes Home. While not the first of his reads I have picked up, I really enjoyed this one and found it to be unique, scary, and riveting. It made me really look forward to checking out more of his books in the future.

    Main Characters

    Jess: Our main girl and, honestly, one of my favourite parts of this book, she’s messy, flawed, and emotional. Her empathy drives a lot of her decisions, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. When Jess meets the boy, she is brought into a horror scene she never expected. In an attempt to save him, she is pushed to intense limits and is forced to put herself in danger to try and help save the day.

    The boy: Running away from a monster, the boy crosses paths with Jess, and is forced to face his fears in no way a child ever should, but he also has much more control than we may suspect.

    Cookie: Jess’s mother, who, while maybe not always the best mom, pulls through for her daughter when it’s needed the most.

    The man:  The boy’s father, who follows Jess and him in an attempt to get him back, however, follows at a distance due to the danger that follows his son.

    My Review

    As mentioned before, I’ve checked out some of Nat Cassidy’s other books and found them to be scary, but extremely enjoyable. When the Wolf Comes Home is an action-filled, thrilling novel, filled with horror and some people’s worst nightmares. The characters are enjoyable (and sometimes aggravating), but the plot itself is unique, and unlike anything I’ve ever dived into before. I gave it an 8/10 rating overall and am looking forward to diving into more of Cassidy’s spooky tales in the future.

    The story follows Jess as she gets pulled into a deeply unsettling and increasingly terrifying situation involving a young boy and something not quite right. What starts as concern quickly turns into something much darker, with reality bending in ways that feel both surreal and way too real at the same time. As things escalate, the book leans hard into fear, what it does to us, how it changes us, and the choices we make when we’re pushed to our limits. Jess is forced to fight her greatest fears to protect the boy, but she also questions if she can really protect him from himself, or the realities of his world. The boy must question if he can fight off the monsters that haunt him, or crumble to the fear of his reality and what is chasing him.

    As mentioned before, I’ve checked out other books of Cassidy’s, and when When the Wolf Comes Home came across my way, I knew I had to check it out. I saw lots of positive reviews and felt like it lived up to the hype for sure. This book is so unique. Like, genuinely nothing I’ve read before. The plot is wild in a way that somehow still works and makes sense, and I was completely locked in watching it unfold. The creativity here is insane, and the way everything comes together? So satisfying. It’s heartbreaking at different points, intense in others, but also loving and sweet in others. It has its gory parts, and some areas are a bit harder to stomach, but if you read lots of horror like I do, it’s really nothing crazy.

    It’s fast-paced, emotional, and straight-up creepy. Not just surface-level scary, either, it gets under your skin. The kind of book where you feel uneasy even when nothing is technically happening because you are just waiting for that other shoe to drop. What really stood out to me is how much it focuses on fear. Not just the classic there’s something scary chasing you theme, but how fear actually changes people. The decisions, the reactions, the spiral, it all felt very intentional and honestly a little too real at times.

    Jess carried this book for me. I loved her. She’s not perfect, and that’s exactly why she works so well. Her empathy, even when it complicates things, made everything hit harder emotionally. And yeah, the kid can be annoying, but in a way that makes sense. He’s a child dealing with trauma, and the book doesn’t shy away from that. If anything, it adds to the emotional weight.

    This is not a feel-good book. Like, at all. My heart hurt more than once. But it’s a damn good one.

    I had such a good time with this, and it definitely solidified that I need to keep reading more from Nat Cassidy.

    Has anyone else checked out When the Wolf Comes Home, or any other of Nat Cassidy’s reads? What did you think, and what others would you recommend?

  21. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!

    I think the SFTP server is down again. Expected files not in our INBOX and it happens on a semi-regular basis and usually after a weekend.

    On my Linux box I had a very simple CHRON setup to run a specific BASH script. On my work WIN11 machine I have automated running a specific program every Monday morning checking for a specific item.

    It should be trivial to do the same on the servers instead of buying software to verify that the servers are working.

    1. On several machines have an automated script launch in the morning at least twice a week. It sends one specific file to one or more other servers.

    2. The outside server(s) do the same thing on the same day and time.

    3. For every machine set up running a second set of scripts looking for incoming file(s) with the special names an hour or so later. If the INBOX is empty then use SENDMAIL with a notification that the expected file is not present. Do the same for each incoming file with enough information we know if it is the incoming server or outgoing server that is hosed.

    As I said... THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. I have been doing this for many years and it gives the support team (myself & two others) notification several hours before the nightly runs that we are missing at least one file!
