With the closure of yiffit, you can find me on pawb.social with the same name. Thank you yiffit.

  • Rule

    Jump
  • how about jekyll? Lots of customization available.

  • happy with it?

  • Kick life's butt back.

    I have no forums to go back to, but I'm trying to be a little more active a few places online.

  • Have fun. I tried pushing myself and going to my local big con once, but it didn't work out.

  • Now the following will be more as I say than as I do, but... I have no pictures of my own to post, and you can look through my history here to see the very NSFW stuff I enjoy. With that said, if IRL people find out, then they exist in the same spaces and it could become a shared secret. Even though that sounds logical to me doing anything IRL is still terrifying to me.

    soatok has indicated a lot of coworkers know about his furry side and blog, but that's only one point of data.

  • About a year ago (actually I think a year and 1 day), I took the conscious decision to stop caring and post whatever the community I'm in allows. It nice not trying to hid or talk around anything. I've so far been lucky and chosen the correct spots to participate.

  • Furry Chat @yiffit.net

    haven't asked anything in a while, so, How's it going yiffi/pawb and guests?

  • There are screenshots from the FA discord floating around that state it was the account with the registrar that was compromised.

  • Furry Chat @yiffit.net

    Furaffinity DNS hijacking

  • No need to apologize.

    I like tinkering in all things electronic, so if your still having issues and want second set of eyes, let me know and I'll see what I can find out.

    Personal anecdote, feel free to skip:I can somewhat relate, there are somethings that make me angry to the point of wanting to break or hit something, but not to the level you describe. I once broke an almost new pasta rack and threw it across the room because I felt like it ruined my first attempt at making pasta that I was already frustrated at that it was sticking too much.

  • Me neither, though he was apparently been sick for a while. It seems his death was sudden, but I would not say unexpected.

  • Somebody has to own it and pay the bills. Its big enough the day to day running can be a team of mods, but small enough that the admin stuff could be down to one.

  • Ramble away, and if you ever feel the need to ramble more, you can direct it at me.

    Posting here has really helped me with the being open and talking about kinks and furriness, not sure I'm ready to take the leap into the real world, but its a start. Gave me enough confidence to join a few discord servers.

    I'd type more here, but I don't know what else I can or should say.

  • I understand your point of view, but whether you like it or not, your title will be viewed as the framing. "What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor?" At a surface reading, it seems to me what that means to you is very different from what that means to others.

    I assume you probably wrote it along the lines of "What does it mean for an E2E encrypted protocol to compete with Signal on a technical level"

    Others read it as "what does it mean to compete with the signal app" and there is no additional depth to security.

  • I understand, but its all about framing. "What does it Mean to be A Signal Competitor", well that is chat apps as that is the space signal occupies. That might not be what space it occupies to you, but that is the space it occupies. "What does it take to compete with Signal's Security" frames the argument to one component, and I would probably have a very different response to that framing. Because of the framing, your argument comes across as "don't talk about use case, its not worth my time." I understand this is because your focus is the cryptographic security, but threat modeling and Human factors has to be a consideration of an overall security posture. Congratulations, you have the best cryptography, but if its not usable, the cryptography doesn't matter, if the users are the weakness, the cryptography doesn't matter, if nobody is willing to use it because its missing a key user feature, the cryptography doesn't matter.

    I know enough about cryptography to know to leave it to the experts. I know about hardware power side channels, I know several exploits have been implementation based and not cryptography based, and I know vulnerability does not always mean an exploit

  • Reddit believes in ~an open~ pay to access internet, but not the ~mis~use of ~public content~ our content we didn't make.

  • A few possibilities,

    1. brave has state in the past they use the googlebot user agent, if all reddit does is check the useragnet, it won't block brave. This does however mean brave is violating the robots.txt file.
    2. I saw some mentions of google fall back, I don't know if they still do it, but that could be another possibility.
    3. Brave ignores robots.txt files
    4. Brave paid for access

    No matter the reason, well behaving crawlers will no longer crawl reddit, Everything is disallowed in the robots.txt

     
            User-agent: *
        Disallow: /
      
  • That reddit filter will have less than an effect than it used to. Reddit blocked all crawlers except google.
