We should use the RAM shortage to take back control from developers..

Instead of recieving releases notes "System now requires minimum of xGB of RAM"

We should tell developers that "must work with a maximum of yGB of RAM"

New Year Hack: Start a new notepad with "2026" on the front and date pages "Day/Month" to prevent constantly scrubbing out 25 and replacing with 26 for the next month .......

Currently cranking up the TV to try and drown out the fireworks to keep the dog calm.

How costly can it be to knee jerk buy cyber products/services during/post incident without reviewing/testing them? Short term it might be useful/reassuring to execs but does getting locked in to multi year "deals" during the fog of war damage security posture in the long term?

So ADGuard home had to add a custom repo ( probably did last time but forgot )

`fetch -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/mimugmail.conf www.routerperformanc...`

Next was no ADGuard installed by default so client VLANs had no DNS ..... So another plugin I need.
