Time permitting, I will research more on this later:
Homebrew no longer needs to have ownership of /usr/local. If you wish you can return /usr/local to its default ownership with: sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local
Reason: the log does look funny, see below.

OCR-ed by https://www.newocr.com/:
adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And as size comes before colour, green great dragons can’t exist.
Then I found some more references:
The indicated this went viral earlier this month and all pointed the actual source: Icon Books » The Elements of Eloquence subtitled “How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase” by Mark Forsyth.
My mother language Dutch probably has a similar rule that I never knew but just subconsciously use.

Many people – me included – complain about the sadness of IoT device security.
It seems the hackers found out it’s time to take advantage of that as within a week both these attacks by IoT devices took place:
The first already suspected IoT devices, the latter confirmed it were ~ 150-thousand hijacked cameras and DVRs [WayBack] performing the attack.
Or in short:
The IoT strikes back
Few parties can cope with this kind of traffic (Akamai had to stop their pro bono servicing of Krebs on Security; it took a few days and a lot of effort for Google’s Project Shield to take over).
So I’ve a few questions for anyone running IoT devices:

I needed to script a few things on my Fritz!Box. Here are the cURL links that I used to research some Fritz!Box scripting.
My first try was wget, but that didn’t do everything I need, so cURL came to the rescue.
In the end, I didn’t need cookies (a post request with an MD5 based handshake sufficed to get a session SID which is not stored in a Cookie), but that surely will come in useful another time.
Curl man page entries:
The script is and docs are here: jpluimers/bash-fritzclient.

This is so cool: How to deploy a Delphi OSX project from the command line – kouraklis.com [WayBack]
I always wanted to hack the communication path to PAServer [WayBack] – despite issues – but never had the time. Luckily others had…
