cursed food poll (vegan, but throwing PETA a curveball) 

With the rise of 'impossible' imitation food meats I would like to pose a question for the public. If the following animal meats were available as plant-based vegan alternatives, where would you draw the line?

Vegan cow (impossible/beyond burger, ground plant beef, etc) included as a control. Select as many as you would be willing to eat. Please do not vote just to show results.

Programmer Art: crude, crappy temporary graphics that you put in a game while you figure out if the mechanics are fun enough to bother finishing it and sorting out a proper artist before release

Programmer Naming: a crude, crappy temporary name that you keep forever and ever amen, twenty years later the top question on your FAQ page is NO, we will NOT change the name, in fact we consider that it is YOU SIR who art being CRINGE,

Has anyone ever collided with a bat?

I'm always worried that one day while I'm taking a walk through the park they'll miscalculate and instead of whizzing past me by like twenty centimeters, they'll whack right into me

trans anatomy knowledge expectations vs reality 

The only thing I understand about Human anatomy are which muscle groups are activated by which exercises.

Cis people asking me about "the surgery" feel like I am obligated to know more... Which... I'm really not. I can spot you in the gym I'm not suddenly a surgeon because I take hormones. I imagine others don't even know that very well. Weird expectation.

Anyways I am going to start quizzing everyone cis over 30 on colonoscopies in great detail now :P

ssh practice 

The latest standard for remote access should NOT be a *public* ssh port. I don't care about what method of authentication is in place, or what obfuscation is available. Honestly ssh ports should be LAN-only and behind strict firewalls. If you want remote access, setup a modern point to point VPN which gives you the modern cryptographic security as a default, then ssh from within the VPN on the relevant LAN.

Oh... new terrifying Linux malware that can silently bypass all system authentication and gain full access of your computer via SSH just dropped, and it's apparently immune to getting wiped by system updates and has been floating around for months

Once again considering using an antivirus on Linux 😭

Cryptocurrency guide for people who justifiably hate it 

For the record if the world really went to enough shit to justify you personally needing to use cryptocurrency to bypass economic warfare against you, don't even consider anything other than Bitcoin and Monero, with Monero being more secure and anonymous, with more fees.

I don't endorse the society which would force people into waiting for blockchain transaction verification that takes a few minutes each time, and paying 'gas' fees, but it might be forced on a few marginalized people. So know going in: don't trust any other "coin" and also use a local crypto wallet not connected to your web browser. Cash out of cryptocurrency exchanges (currency conversion accounts) into your local wallet immediately, every time, and use backups. At the very least, backup the wallet to both your phone and a trusted computer you control yourself.

Of course the best advice is, don't be forced into using cryptocurrency, since financial fraud and recovery services and instant transactions are actually pretty nice features we all benefit from.

anime trash, trans thoughts 

Speaking of critical analysis of the media we engage with, and I'm speaking from my own experiences and observations here, I think a lot of predominantly online trans girls idolise and romanticise anime characters like Lain and Tomoko to an unhealthy degree.

Like yes yes, they are cute and silly and just like me fr...but being quite mentally unstable and socially awkward to your detriment is NOT GOOD FOR YOU GIRL 😭😭
