  • I’m not sure whay the OS you use is, but on linux (debian based) they have a Curl installer that installs their Systemd service preconfigured for your account and the specific tunnel you’re using.

    Once that is installed, configuration is pretty easy. Inside their ZeroTrust portal, you will find the options to configure ports.

    Always point your tunnel to https://localhost:port or http://localhost:port. You can get a TLS cert from lets-encrypt for your first one. New certifications are issued by cloudflare’s partners regularly to prevent expiration. I think I have like 3 for my domain now? 1 from Lets-Encrypt and a couple from Google.

    This could be totally unrelated, but when I first configured my domain, I used DuckDNS as my DNS registrar so I could do everything over wireguard. That’s is still set up and in Cloudflare I still have duckdns included in my DNS registry. Could he worth a shot to set that up and add it to your DNS registry on cloudflare.



  • Just a comment, you’ve said “Polygamous” where the correct word is “Polyamorous”. They are not the same. Polygamy is marriage of multiple partners, often in “sister-wives” situations and often related to patrocentric power expectations in certain smaller religious instituions and cults. Polyamory is a romantic orientation allowing for multiple romantic or sexual partners. While the type of polycule a polyamorous person engages in will vary from person to person, the harem of wives thing doesn’t really happen in polyamorous circles.


  • Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.

    The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.

    I’ve never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That’s experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I’ll make my own someday. Maybe I’ll get a Pebble now that they’re back-ish. I’ll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.




  • Downvoting requires you: A. Click into the video
    B. Select the downvote button, thereby engaging with the video

    The algorithm is not designed to feed you content you like, only content that will generate clicks and interaction. The only way to eliminate that content from your feed is to forcibly remove it, as they have designed the feed such that it is impossible not to interact with it.

    Again, I suggest trying freetube as a frontend, as it allows you to retitle and rethumbnail clickbait videos, and remove shorts from your feeds, thereby eliminating the skinner box that is youtube from your life.


  • Youtube shorts.

    Imagine you’re a gamer, one who is interested in game Design. Your view history has games, gaming, game design, but it’s also full of algotrash talking heads, scam baiters, shit slingers. You open the YouTube app on your phone, and it immediately opens to shorts, you don’t remember settings that as the default but it’s fine, you recognize the creator and the 45 second clip was neat. Swipe up. Next video, it Nile Blue dropping a beaker of chloroauric acid. Next video, its Chris Boden yelling about some kind of electrical infrastructure you don’t understand (and that’s pretty cool). Next video, Thor, speaking softly, explaining an aspect of game design that you never thought of. This one catches your attention, its in your wheelhouse, its something you’re genuinely interested in. You click the profile, swipe through a few more shorts. Your algorithm is permanently damaged. Your a pirate software fan now, whether you like it or not.

    Or you can use freetube and never see algotrash talking heads in your feed and never enter into this cycle.


  • Have you ever done Speed Dating? Where you have 5 minute dates and if it goes well you arrange another?

    It’s kinda like that, except it’s presented in the most shallow way possible and wrapped into a skinner box. The apps are so full of bots (usually scammers/phishers) that most of the matches you recieve will be fake. That’s means there’s a little dance with every new person you match with while you both figure out if you’re talking to a human or not. Beyond this, the apps are somewhat anonymous in a dangerous way. You don’t know if you’re meeting the person you say you are until they show up in front of you. Sometimes you match with someone and their personality isn’t what they say it is.

    They’re fine, probably just about the worst way to meet someone as a long term partner. I’ve had good luck with hookups on dating apps, but I’ve had the WORST luck actually dating on them.

    Edit: Autocorrupt changed Dance to Dangerous





  • I’m not a fan of Gnome, they consistently have made questionable choices in my eyes since they shifted to their touch oriented layout circa 2010ish. While I personally dislike the software, I recognize its merit and that for many its the right choice. This is to say, the Following is NOT blind gnome hate. Additionally, I love systemd, I understand the philosophical issues with it, idgaf I like it.

    This is bad. Like, big bad bad. The reason systemd is objectively fine as a monolithic giant Swiss army knife of software is because if people don’t want to use it they can replace it with something else. This move would require custom forks, moving forward, of gnome to retain interoperability with runit or with init, or with any selfspun init system.

    The reason systemd isn’t a bad thing is that people don’t have to use it. This takes that choice away from anyone wanting to stay on gnome.

    (I am a 20+ year Linux user and fan of systemd)


  • Porcine slang is quite versatile in English!

    Pig: someone unkempt or otherwise undesirable.

    Pig: an officer of the law.

    Hog: to keep all or most of something to oneself.

    Hog: a motorcycle, specifically a Harley Davidson or Indian Motorcycles style bike, rather than a sport-bike

    Hog: I’m jorkin it right now, and by it, let’s just say…

    Swine: a relatively outdated generic insult (ex “you uncultured swine”)

    Pig-out: to engage in excess, to act as a glutton.
