Gen X here - don’t lump me in with fucking boomers! I’m just as angry as y’all are, and have been for longer.
That said, thanks for remembering we exist.

O don’t think I’ve ever had to sign into Teams (PR Outlook, for that matter) in my desktop. Mobile, I have to after changing my password. I assumed all the MS apps signed me in with my domain login on my laptop. On weird issue I have is things like SharePoint and Dynamics 365 asking me to sign in again after its already brought up the site, and clicking the button to do it just brings a blank pop-up that immediately disappears and I’m logged “for real” I guess.

Interesting times when (at least) half of all political reporting in the US is simply investigating/reporting what most people already know/assume. Not arguing against its necessity, receipts are important if any of this stuff ever goes in front of judges.

If you’re not going the VPS route it’s even easier. Pangolin handles the wireguard tunnel for you with a docket container running newt. Very straightforward.
My goals have been:
- Avoid opening ports on my home network.
- Don’t require people using my services to join my Tailnet (or some other VPN).
- Require 2FA/passkeys (via Authentik for the moment) on anything that’s publicly accessible.
There’s plenty of YT stuff out there for Pangolin, but I haven’t seen a lot for their cloud service. Personally, I prefer it to self-hosting it. Similar to tailscale, the free tier meets my needs, and their security team is (hopefully) more competent and better staffed than… me.
Of course, you get what you pay for, but I see this as a similar position as Tailscale & Cloudflare. With my free account, I’m piggy-backing off the security infrastructure of their enterprise offerings. Obviously I don’t get all the fine-grained controls of those tiers, but like the other two companies, they have a reputation to uphold, and from that perspective a breech is a breech. Even if it only affects free tier users, it makes them look bad.

A long time ago I was doom scrolling Facebook, and I came across an ad for NFL-branded triptych art. This particular ad was in a master bedroom, and over the bed was hung the Carolina Panthers logo with their slogan “Keep Pounding!”
I immediately saved it because of course I did, and now I can’t find it. Still makes me laugh, though.

Good point! I’ve probably peed off more boats than in the woods (or yard, as the case may be).

Says a lot about the general consensus about a country that none of your neighboring countries think you could be the source of their rise in an STD. Some countries fuck. Some don’t.

My old hotmail gets all that stuff. Awhile back they added some stuff to automatically keep it clean-ish, mainly the sweep feature. Plus I have addy.io that forwards a bunch of stuff to it.
- Comment on Wait....IS that what I meant?? 2 months ago:
I was talking to a friend today about an article I read trying to suggest that his “civilization destruction” tweet could’ve been an example of the old Russian “escalate to de-escalate” doctrine that’s never been proven to exist. While the article made some interesting points, including that Trump received Iran’s 10 points that were used for the ceasefire before sending that tweet (I have no idea if this is true), I laughed when telling my friend, “Trump doesn’t even play checkers, let alone this kind of entry-level chess!”

- Comment on How will you celebrate? 2 months ago:
I’ve said for awhile that I refuse to wish for the death of anyone. Just bad Karma there.
BUT, I never said I wouldn’t celebrate the death of a bad person. So I’m ordering a bad person’s recent quote about another person’s death to be printed on a T-shirt I will only wear twice: on the day the bad person dies, and on the day of that person’s funeral.
…
I may wear it subsequent times on the bad person’s birthday.

Not enough - Sound can easily be removed from videos. You need to make sure there’s licensed Disney IP littered around the room, and ideally involved in the sex act(s). Maybe dress like a Star Wars or Marvel character. Better yet, one dresses like a SW character, and the other(s) dress like a Disney Princess™. Also, have Fantasia or Sleeping Beauty, one of the classics, playing on the TV in the background. Make “Disney” the kink theme of the video. Make it a category keyword on the upload. Include the full proper character names everywhere you can. Really ensure that target is as big as you can make it.

Honestly, 7 on IMDB is about my cutoff for “probably decent” if I’m going in cold on a show.
