This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.

It annoys me how opaque software has become, since I just realized why YouTube was playing so poorly and lagging out the browser in my older but fully optioned Zbook which was used as a CAD workstation, the browsed had decided that it was only going to use the integrated GPU instead of the Quadro.

I hate how endemic furry artist spam and scam accounts have become on Discord, I feel that these days it's a weekly occurrence to receive friend requests from profiles with no shared servers or friends and which mention the person being an artist.

Hmph - I'm once again disillusioned because I'm trying to figure out a good closed circumaural wireless headset with Bluetooth and decent microphone, and I looked into Beyerdynamic MX230 since I have a wired Beyerdynamic headset already. Apparently despite being 250€, the MX230 isn't great...

More Twokinds fan fiction stuff, a futuristic AU where Mary Silverlocke was never overthrown by Trace as the Grand Templar - but nonetheless she still doesn't like it when the Keidran both assert their rights *and* are purposefully bloody-minded twits towards her at the same time. :p

It's honestly frustrating how the main reason why I'm ridding myself of ads on YouTube is because 90% of them are just various kinds of rip-offs or scams, typically AI slop advertizing stuff that's low-grade drop-shipped junk in reality, and the 10% are highly cringy although genuine domestic ads.

A random realization concerning current events - the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has now lasted longer than how long it took from the beginning of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 to the capitulation of (Nazi) Germany in 1945 - since that period took 3 years, 10 months, and 13-14 days.

The downside of being irreplaceable due to crew shortages and your heat coming at an inopportune time away from port - thus having to take measures in order to get at least some work done. :p Art by @kcatomheart.bsky.social #anthro #cheetah #heat #oestrus #naughty

After 15 years of extremely reliable and faithful service, my xDSL service was finally shut down permanently at the turn of the month as the operator scrapped the remaining copper services in the region, it was running up until the final moment. Good bye and good night for it.

Over the years I've seen plenty of debate over nohello.net aka whether "Hi" or "Hello" is a permissible conversation opener online - but these days there's a much more pressing reason to avoid simple or generic greetings, which is scammers and AI bots doing just that when they start off discussions.

no hello

please don't say just hello in chat

Since I've been heavily inspired by Tom Fischbach's Twokinds recently, I came up with an OC for a futuristic #Twokinds AU - captain Rauru, a heavily cyborgized and altered Keidran "anti-human" operative who ends up with serious regrets and decides to try to make amends after the end of a major war.

For a change, a SFW sketch for me drawn by Shinigami/Duo A futuristic-era Twokinds-inspired snow leopard OC of mine enduring human attention in order to become more desensitized to it, since it's inevitable in human-populated regions and she wants to be more "human-safe".

Never, under ANY circumstances take a single step in to the direction of crypto. Reminder that this video by Dan Olsen caused the ENTIRE crypto market to crash within 24 hours, because it explained how the entire thing worked and everybody realized it was a grift: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_x...

I thought I'd post this piece of personal lore here as well - if someone here has ever wondered where my inspiration for stomach-popping traps comes from, it's from the 1875 Jules Verne book "Mysterious Island" as the later part of the book contains this short section [CW: Cruel hunting methods]:

This remains evergreen.

So we know who to blame for getting payment processing companies to go after furries and kicking them from only fans, fansly, and steam. It is a group called “collective shout”. Furry adult content is being falsely labeled bestiality by payment processing companies. This group got them to do that.

I'm morbidly amused by how it's 2025 and I still see printing setups in businesses misconfigured so that they mess up 'ä' and 'ö', this time it was the Finnlines boarding pass printer in Kapellskär.

Took my summer car out of winter storage again, did an oil change and few filter changes to it and swapped away from my Volvo XC70 Mk2 for a while!

Do YOU want to be held captive by a science lab and be studied? Have a science man give you a designation of danger? Does your character have a neat quirk/ability that would require a cool Hazard Diamond icon? Then you should buy this Abiotic Factor themed YCH! Examples below, DM me if interested!

OKAY!!!! I need people to start pumping the brakes on all of this Discord/DomoAI stuff because a lot of people are just straight up spreading misinformation without looking into things. Here's an image, WITH ALT TEXT (emphasis mine), that explains what's not true, and what IS true.

#unbirthing #popping #tickling My long-term mate is (extremely) ticklish all around, so naturally I had to persuade her into trying out new forms of vore as a pretext so that I'd be able to tickle her without her being able to escape - she's not impressed. :b Art by @kcatomheart.bsky.social

#unbirthing #popping #tickling My long-term mate is (extremely) ticklish pretty much all around, so naturally I had to persuade her into trying out new forms of vore as a pretext so that I'd be able to tickle her without her being able to escape - she's not impressed. :b
