Two Santa Cruz students uncover security bug that could let millions do their #laundry for free. #CSC ServiceWorks provides #laundrymachines to thousands of residential homes and universities, but the company ignored requests to fix a security bug.
Some companies do not even seem to care about #security at all even when their whole business model is in danger when they don't fix reported issues in time. 🤷
Saturday 5:02am.
My set alarm just woke me.
Time to make a flask of #Coffee and drive to a local church building.
I have an hour slot in the 24 hours of #prayer, at 6:00am.
Arianna wasn't feeling the best yesterday, so our plans depend on how she is doing. Shall check on her when I get home.
Pretty sure I will be working on #laundry at some point today.
Take care of everyone!

Hmm, wondering if t-shirt rugs are too heavy to run in a washing machine. Amazingly heavy when wet. Maybe will go haul them to a laundromat, instead. (Update: sounds like industrial washer/dryer is the ticket, thanks folks!) #rugs#laundry
It's the weekend so let's all comment below with our weekend plans and what we're all going to do.
For me, I'll be having lunch with my cousin and her two daughters and my wife. My cousin and I haven't seen each other since Thanksgiving, so that will be nice.
The rest of the day will likely just be relaxing and laying on the new couch to catch up on some TV shows we're behind on.
Morning y'all.
Woke up early, made a #Coffee, and worked on some #FoodBank homework.
At 6:00am assisted my wife Arianna with her meds and ice-pack.
Completed my "homework", so going to put on my headphones, play music, sort the #Laundry, and make more Coffee.
That's my plan for Saturday.
What about you?
I’ve been doing this thing that I’m calling “last wash 10 pm,” a photo series of old school laundromats in San Francisco.
growing up in New York, I spent a good portion of my Saturdays in a laundromat with my Dad. we would load up our granny cart with our family’s sheets, towels, and dirty clothes, and head down the block where we could get them all washed, dried and folded in a matter of hours.
they’re rarely glamorous, highly utilitarian third spaces many of us are forced to frequent. I had gotten spoiled by having in-unit laundry while living in San Francisco, but when I moved back to Brooklyn for 2 months in the fall of 2021, we became reacquainted again. quarters were out, and reloadable chip cards were in but pretty much everything else remained the same.
I don’t know what it is I like about them so much, but at this point I can hardly pass one by without taking a photo.
maybe it’s the patterns created by stacked square washers and dryers with round doors. maybe it’s the punny names that all seem to be obsessed with bubbles. maybe it’s the multicolored clothes doing their little dance.
I just know deep down inside that they’re a dying breed, and I should maybe document them when I can.
it feels slightly voyeuristic taking picture of people doing laundry, so I content myself with their unmentionables spinning in machines, on the way to becoming clean (and an occasional dog waiting for his Person to finish chores so they can go for a walk).
so if you have a photogenic laundromat in your neighborhood, please let me know, I will come and discreetly photograph it. I promise not to include you in it (unless you really want).
Ok, I decided I needed to do SOMETHING. So I made Slug get up & get some laundry together & hauled 4 loads to the laundry room. Came back, made her get up again & get her bedroom & bathroom trash together. She's "faint & dizzy" from the exertion of that, but I'm the one who actually hauled the shit. (2 full cart trips) Brownies just came out of the oven. I have 50 minutes before I have to go back for the stuff in the dryer.
