Things you don't want to hear: "split-brain DNS with replication issues"

I need a lot fewer multi-hour "system is full down" events in my average day.

windows security (advertising vector), zdnet.com link (sorry)

"A newly discovered form of malware delivered to victims via adverts in search results is being used as a gateway to stealing passwords, installing cryptocurrency miners and delivering additional trojan malware.

Detailed by cybersecurity company Bitdefender, the malware – which targets Windows – has been dubbed MosaicLoader and has infected victims around the world as those behind it attempt to compromise as many systems as possible.

MosaicLoader can be used to download a variety of threats onto compromised machines, including Glupteba, a type of malware that creates a backdoor onto infected systems, which can then be used to steal sensitive information, including usernames and passwords, as well as financial information.

Unlike many forms of malware, which get distributed via phishing attacks or unpatched software vulnerabilities, MosaicLoader is delivered to victims via advertising."

consequences of link rot, Vice link (mentions of and adjacet to pornography but not actually porn, explicit language) 

vice.com/en/article/qj8xz3/a-d

"As pointed out by Twitter user @dox_gay, hardcore porn is now embedded on the pages of the Huffington Post, New York magazine, The Washington Post, and a host of other websites. This is because a porn site called 5 Star Porn HD bought the domain for Vidme, a brief YouTube competitor founded in 2014 and shuttered in 2017. Its Twitter account is still up, but the domain lapsed.

Seemingly any vid.me embeds now redirect to the 5 Star Porn HD homepage. The site vid.me also redirects there. For example, if you check out this New York magazine article about former House Majority leader John Boehner's "creepy kissy face," you will see photos of Boehner but also images of a man with a gigantic penis fucking a woman.

Archived versions of this page show that there was formerly a vid.me embed on the page; the page's source code shows the same."

So, uh. Heads-up on that one, I guess.

My friend Sunyata, a queer disabled Black femme from NYC, has had their gofundme up for *2 years*, before the pandemic even, and it’s still unfulfilled.

This week, I’m asking you to get Sunyata up to $5350/$20,000. That’s $600 more that will go toward desperately needed mental health treatment, which longterm will support their career as a poet and artist.

From them: “Fundraisers that haven’t met their goal often get less donations. Please please please don’t let mine fall by the wayside. It’s already been two years. After I finish this degree program, I hope to be accepted into Brown University so I can be in a position to help other Black trans folks. Our liberation is bound together.”

If you’d prefer to give not thru gofundme, Sunyata also has zelle, paypal, venmo, and cashapp:

Zelle: blackqueerbpd@gmail.com
Paypal: paypal.com/paypalme/sunyatax
Venmo: @/liberationforall
Cashapp: $vsunnymoon

PS Remember to NEVER tip GoFundMe, because they already take a cut of all donations.

I want to go to a fancy restaurant and have them serve me a really good fucking fish. Like, mouth orgasm recipe good. A fish to make the gods envy.

A thought:

The selkie myth, but applied to wyverns. The shawl is their wings, and if you can find where they've hidden it when they come down to the ground, then you have the wyvern as yours until they find where you've hidden their wings.

Probably best not to be around when they find it, a wyvern can do a lot more damage than a seal.

animal care begpost 

We took in a very pregnant feral cat during the massive PNW heatwave and she needs to get looked at to make sure she and her kittens are doing okay, since she hasn't given birth yet. We've got an appointment at the animal clinic but it'll be at least $150 to see her and get images taken and I'm currently still unemployed.

If you can help, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Perhaps if I scream loud enough, that one embarrassing memory from several years ago will leave me alone forever.

Deeply saddened that life has not provided me so far with an opportunity to call someone a "sniveling, malevolent cone snail"

playfully incorrect understanding of paleontology and modern birds 

What's the difference between a road runner and a (regular-sized) velociraptor?

Yeah, I can't think of one either.

Ever wondered how long it'd take to travel between two given locations in Roman times?

You can specify the season, and modes of transport, and whether your priority is fastest, cheapest, or shortest. It'll calculate viable routes likely to have been an option then, and their cost for people and various goods.

"Don't look at it as a deception," the king implored, "Look at it as an effort to protect you!"

The princess momentarily forgot her efforts to control her newly developed wings, eyes ablaze, "You told me the dragon was trying to steal me away!"

"Well, it is!"

"She's my mother! You. Stole. Me. From. Her!"

"I'm your real parent! I raised you!"

"You didn't give her the choice," the princess howled as she leapt defiantly from her balcony.
