Prologue: Invoke DNS/DHCP via UTM to override the quarantined server systems. This could/should restore phone functionality and maintain internet access. I may require assistance/guidance from Open GI for this.
Step 1: Run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware on all machines on Network to identify and remove the source of infection. This may be identified by checking the %AppData% or %LocalAppData% folders for a strangely named .exe file.
Step 2: Attempt file restores using Previous Versions of each file which is dependent on Shadow Copies. Note, if shadow copies have been erased, this will not be possible. Run a Start > Search for .zepto to assess scope of infection.
Step 3: System Restore and/or ShadowExplorer may be able to recover the entire encrypted data set. Deep scan software such as Recuva may also be of use for this. Failing this, a backup restore should recover the encrypted files but will require a step back on recency of file versions.

Sometimes in life you have to stop needing closure. You have to stop needing to know why things happen, why things change, why people do what they do. Sometimes, there isn't a reason, or the reason is too complicated to understand. Sometimes a thousand lifetimes couldn't provide enough time to get your head around it all. Sometimes in life you have to just let go. Let go of the fears, the doubts, and the questions. Those questions that keep you up at night, that plague you whenever you sit alone in the quiet darkness. Sometimes the answers aren't simple. Sometimes the answers won't make sense because the context seems skewed. Sometimes there is no answer that will ever make sense to you, because your perceptions are misaligned with whatever is presenting the question. Sometimes, you just have to accept that life is what it is. It's not always easy, and it doesn't always make sense. Things you take for granted shatter the illusions of security. Dreams that seemed unimaginable become reality. People you love with all your heart destroy your life from within the vulnerable walls you naively let them inside. You can sit trying to figure it all out, trying to make sense of all the confusion around us... you can try to find the answer to every question in your life, slowly wasting time seeking closure that will never be able to change the past. The answer will never reverse time. So you can either waste your life seeking answers, or you can focus on creating more questions. I know what I'm doing these days. Writing stupidly fucking long statuses it would seem. Life is easier once you accept the apologies you never received.

Life has been bare hectic lately... contractors tearing my house apart every week, gas/elec inspections, tech issues at work requiring 11hr shifts and stress, trying to sort finances out for school uniform for my little pumpkin, social catch ups with family, finding time to chill with friends, spending time with my Charchar & Ilypie, and just generally juggling all the bullshit of life on top it all, it feels none fucking stop... so glad I've booked a holiday to Albufeira in Sept, can't wait to just get away and unwind tbh!

Third weekend in a row with fricking contract work being undertaken at my home. This week the guy has gone one better, and rang me at 11:15am to tell me he's "just finishing off another job from yesterday, then I'll be over this afternoon". I guess my hopes that he'd be done early enough for me to not feel like I've spent the entire day with him under my feet just passed in an instant... ugh. *sigh*

06/08/2016 @14:10
Lovely day & I'm sat here waiting for this contractor still. He hasn't even replied to the text I sent half an hour ago. I swear he better haul ass and come do this job or I'm gonna be pissed. I already anticipate two scenarios;
a) he turns up late as fuck then doesn't get it done today & tells me he'll need to come back finish it next weekend, or
b) he contacts me wank late in the afternoon to tell me he is gonna have to leave it for today and come out next weekend. Neither of those scenarios will be received with a smile.

Contractor rocks up at 4pm, opens with "not gonna have time get this done today, you gonna be in tomorrow" 😒 Tells him I've got plans next Sat so he says he'll pop round one night after work for a few hours... ugh.

I don't understand. My head has fallen off trying to rationalise why Chinese people are cooking actual edible meals in the relative proportion for a Borrower to eat!? I mean... it's mesmerizing to watch and the finished products are cute, but why!? Why make them edible when they are so tiny that you could accidently inhale the entire meal and not notice?? Why put such effort into something that will mould and spoil?? I don't understand what the hell is going on... it doesn't make any sense!!?

Such riveting viewing. I am such a Milo groupie on most of his views, but most of all because of his brazen disregard for pandering to the overly sensitive, hand holding, victim card waving, brownie point scoring white knights and SJW's. His brash and outlandish stance on every taboo subject is just mesmerizing. He represents that side of everyone that just wants to tell people to shut the fuck up, suck it up and grow a pair!

Talking to my mate about this news story earlier regarding a man volunteering to have the first ever head transplant. She turns to me without the slightest hint of rhetoric and asks: "Who will be in control though?" I swear, she legit questioned whether the body would somehow control this guys head without his consent! I was like whaaaat are you even going on about!? Seriously!! 😂🙈😖 "Sorry officer, I didn't want to steal the car but you know what my body is like, sometimes I think it has a mind of it's own!"

"I'm scared, but I ain't scared of none of y'all fuck niggas.../
I'm scared of gettin' my heart broken,
I'm sorry that's why I don't fuck wit' ya.../
I'm scared of love, I'm scared of pain,
I'm scared of music, I'm scared of fame.../
I'm scared of fucking my kids up psychologically,
now who's to blame?/
I'm scared I might die alone,
some days I might cry alone.../
I walk along these empty roads,
scared I might not make it back home.../
I'm scared I might lose another friend,
I'm scared of strugglin' and sufferin'.../
I'm scared of my insecurities,
but they always there like I'm stuck with them..."

Wut. If you insult the prophet Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh, if you are homosexual or if you abandon the Islamic faith then you should be tried by Sharia Law regardless of your belief and religion, found guilty and sentenced to death.
tl;dr: Islam is a religion of peace.

Bit of light reading and food for thoughts Matthew & Terry:
Things to do in Albufeira: [http://www.lonelyplanet.com/portugal/albufeira/things-to-do]
Few that I defo like the look of: [http://www.zoomarine.pt/en/] [http://www.aquashowparkhotel.com/en] Cave & Grotto Sightseeing Boat Trip on a catamaran up the coast. This looks different but not sure if you'd like: [https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/sagres-l1731/coasteering-algarve-cliff-jump-swim-climb-in-sagres-t41539/] Few locations mentioned on here may be worth sightseeing even if we don't go via Hop On like we did in Budapest:
[http://www.city-discovery.com/albufeira/tour.php?id=8242]
Saw bars I've seen mentioned as worth checking, plus they do an Albufeira Bar Crawl kinda like Krakow: Matt’s Bar, Renos Bar, Patcha Cocktail Bar, Wild & Co.
Beachs of note:
Falesia Beach - known for it's orange cliffs.
Oura Beach - offers water sports opportunities such as para-sailing, jet boat rides, Jet Ski, banana rides.
lso seen a few other things you can do in Albufeira that are probably new experiences we could consider: wakeboarding, waterskiing, kayaking, quadding, extreme offroad 4x4 rides. Just food for thought that seemed easier to list here than in Inbox! x

I am not an apologist for terrorism, but neither can I close my eyes and plead ignorance to the devastation being wrought in the Middle East at the hands of the Western world, and the sickening collateral damage felt by the innocent in the cross hairs. There is an awful taste in my mouth knowing that our ignorance is taken as non verbal consent to the atrocities committed under the guise of "security and defence". Life is precious, more valuable than the human mind could ever comprehend; the potential of every one of us, the possibility of who we could become, what we could achieve, what we could invent, create or teach. Humanity is bleeding out, and the only way to stem the blood loss is by ending this global warfare. Violence begets more violence, and an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.

Well I'm through duck,
I've had enough of giving two fucks,
watch you screw up over another screw up.../
She's a masochist flirting with drama,
forgets about karma unless it's the sutra.../
And that suits her down to a tee.../
She's a whore for attention you see.../
Her Facebook reads like a script from Eastenders,
and if it offends yer,
she'll ascend to a keyboard warrior and end ya!

I sit silent, watching my Princess sleeping. I gently sweep her hair aside so that I can see her perfect little face peaceful and content. I listen to her softly breathing, see the shallow rises and falls of her chest, imagining what she is dreaming about. I smile, a smile that cannot be withheld as I gaze down at this little girl that I love so deeply. Pride flushes my skin, completely in awe of this beautiful creation, so fragile and pure. I know in this moment that no matter what I have done in my life, this feeling is the best thing I've ever known and likely will ever know. This vulnerability of knowing that my only purpose in life is to protect and care for this perfect Princess that I was blessed with, to raise her to be a strong woman; to wipe her tears and hold her tightly whenever she is sad, to kiss her grazes, bruises and bumps when she hurts herself, to laugh with her, smiles for her, and do everything in my power to make her life as peaceful and happy as she looks right at this very moment. I sit silent, watching my Princess sleeping, and I know the meaning of my life ♥
