I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again: if you want some wholesome / nostalgic internet times, check out Wiby, the "Search Engine for the Classic Web". It's based on (moderated) user submissions of old school websites. Use #WibyFinds to post the good stuff you come across!!!
I just found Zack's Snake Page, which is actually just a giant image with hot zones you can click to go to other images???
@wxcafe Yeah, it's handy being able to pull the drive out of my laptop, on my x230 it only requires one screw to get the drive out, and I have 4x2.5 hotswap bays on my desktop. I've moved over to NVME storage for the boot drive on my desktop though. The speed is nice, but hotswapable NVME drives are expensive and mostly used in servers.
@wxcafe I set up borgmatic to make disk images of my laptop to my server every hour over SSH. It's incremental, compressed, deduplicated, and encrypted. You could also point it at an external drive.
@Elizafox I've seen administration tools for game servers with a ban option that caused the player's game client to crash by exploiting a bug.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary." - Karl Marx
Never let them tell you the "radical Antifa terrorist left" is pushing gun control. The left has always been armed (see the black panthers and EZLN, both of whom knew that armed community defense was vital in the struggle against capital and the state). And when 2A chuds talk about armed rebellion against a tyrannical government...
well, you know what they say about stopped clocks.
So, remember about a month ago when stuff about the Linux Fox Girl went around? Someone reportedly tracked down Alan Mackey, and got his blessing on giving her a name (Xenia), and accidentally confirmed the character to be trans.

Layleen, a beloved Afro-Latinx trans woman, was incarcerated and killed by prison guards, all because she could not afford to pay bail. This is horrifying and to heap more on this tragedy, she was dead-named by the Bronx DA.
Layleen's death was preventable. Incarceration and detention must end. Prisons and jails are unable to keep people safe at any time, and now more than ever in the midst of a pandemic. We must work to end all forms of state violence.

Blue Pill Arcade 3 book is up in my shop! It's the book I was really looking forward to having at conventions this year, before, you know, EVERYTHING.
I printed Blue Pill Arcade 3 as a limited run for those that bought parts 1 & 2. One day I might put it into one big book, but if you're craving unexplained vaguely post soviet settings and VR therapy right now, I guess this is a thing that exists?

that new transfem bottom surgery thing everyone's on about, medical abuse, forced surgery, intersexism
the more I see this whole thing about that "new amazing surgery for trans women that came from experimental techniques on cis women" the more I feel sick
this surgery technique was developed by nonconsensually experimenting on and mutilating the bodies of intersex people with MRKH. This surgery comes at the cost of intersex people -- some of whom were part of those experiments and are taking about it right now -- literally being labeled test subjects and subjected to genital mutilation.
Remember that when you talk about how great this advancement is for trans women. It is, for sure, but please don't ignore the violence that was enacted on intersex bodies so trans women can have that surgery.

I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy
