Nah, it's okay. I'm not gonna be homeless thankfully. My bills are getting paid, food is on the table, and so forth. But that also means I don't really have much money for nonessentials. For example, my _monthly_ "Fun&qu

Yeah, no worries, I'm pretty terrible at reading sarcasm on the best of days. Haha.

I only ever feel like "me" when I'm not at work. I work in retail, and every minute I'm at that job I feel my soul dying just that little bit more. But I go there because I like to not starve, which by the way I've

Hey, tone doesn't translate well over text, they did not use anu tone tags, and I'm already terrible at reading tone in the best of times. Lol, can you really blame me for at least asking? Haha.

by encrypted_bird 7mo ago
Yeah, nope, you're right. Not sure why my brain thought "The". Haha. I blame on the roughlu 2½ hours of sleep I got last night. Yay insomnia!

I'm not sure where you live, but try going to some of the super-small towns in the Midwest. I unfortunately still see people openly wearing MAGA hats and have MAGA flags on the flag poles in their yards. Trust me, as sad as it is, thos

It has. (Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case I'm not surprised it went over my head. Lol.)

They're not; they're speaking colloquially: this is the word "It's" omitted from the beginning. --- *EDIT*: Corrected word. Lol.

What site?

by encrypted_bird 7mo ago
I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. The hyperconservative scumbags (alas I repeat myself) will stoop to anything to shove their beliefs on everyone else.

1. That's an opinion piece, not a piece of investigative journalism. 2. That's from 5 years ago; who knows if this is even still the case, even assuming it's as widespread as the opinion piece claims. 3. See my second point.

Oh shove off with this Puritan attitude. First off, you're implying most of PornHub is rape. That'a ridiculous; no one is uploading videos of actual rape to PornHub. Secondly, porn ≠ abuse. It's an actual industry and so obvi

It's almost like competition is critical for a healthy marketplace! (Seriously, I _don't_ understand why this is such a hard concept for a lot of people to understand...)

As someone who's looking into possibly getting a YubiKey 5 NFC actually, I would like to ask: if you can't export the entries, if you make a backup of the YubiKey (perhaps with the magic of buying two of them), then how would one

If you can ssh in, couldn't they ssh in?

Okay I think I just misunderstood. I guess I was assuming "paying for the service anonymously" meant "paying such that the person using the service is anonymous", not "anonymously paying for the service". Haha.

Oh see I didn't pay with bitcoin. Maybe they have a differeny policy with that? Hmm...

So a trip-switch for the server? How would one access it if one needed to do config changes or, really, anything the server for legitimate purposes?

That is fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

Just out of curiosity, what is a cold boot attack?

I let my subscription expire and my account was never locked down or emailed held for ransom. I suspect there is another piece to the story you're either neglecting to mention or don't know.

You're probably right about why I'm getting downvoted. But, you know, in my honest opinion, those people are just further demonstrating my point. They're probably actually paid well, or at least are afraid to badmouth the han
