Mangy Mutt Redux

“Fido”

The mystery concerning the mangy mutt of the “old folks home” in Waikiki has been solved (refer to the original Notes post titled, “Mangy Mutt”). The owner has been identified as an old, fat, ugly ho’ who resides on the sixth floor. The mangy mutt now only barks and squeals when taken outside to relieve itself. The obese owner has been taking the pooch out daily at 4am. So, the entire ‘hood is privy to listen to the barking and squealing in the wee hours of the morning.

On a side note, the Cloudflare DoH (DNS over HTTPS) unfiltered configuration profile has been added to the iPhone 16 Pro. The ability to add such a profile has been around since iOS 14 was introduced. The DoH is system-wide and can be disabled by switching to “automatic,” but it is only applicable to cellular data. The main reason to deploy DoH is to prevent ISP logging of client Net activities. Configuration profiles (Apple® products) for various DNS providers and filter options are available on the GitHub repository. The iPhone now has every possible security option enabled except for “lockdown mode.”

Miscellany: The free wireless network at the primary fast food joint in town has been reactivated. And, the receipts now have the survey coupon QR code restored.
