Lel when people ask why this site does not have other payment methods and payment processors....
Onlyfans is now banning explicit adult content due to pressure from the banks and paypal.

Rofl.

Adult cosplay will still be legal. Seems they know their market.

Good thing I don't give a shit about real people porn

How long until E-Hentai can only take privacy coins? With surveillance coins (everything else), they can [old.reddit.com] track the payment going to E-Hentai, and they could start banning people from KYC exchanges for sending money to EH today, if they wanted to.

re: digital currency: it all sucks

Followup on car: I scraped the bee guts out of the fuse box and now it's stopped blowing that fuse. I then drove around town for an hour and a half trying to find somewhere that sold ceramic bosch-type (GBC) fuses.

Found a place eventually, but had to try four different auto parts stores and at least ¼ of my gas tank is gone. But now I finally have more than two spare 8 amp fuses again.

These things are a pain in the dick to find and a pain in the dick to replace without shocking yourself or breaking the metal contacts off. Wish I knew where my tool for them went.

And if people say, "Easy, I'll just buy KYC BTC and then swap for Monero", if they don't want you going anywhere near a mixer, they'll start banning accounts for swapping for XMR.

The only way to donate will be with non-KYC coin. CPU mining? The trusted platform module in your x86 CPU demands to know what you're doing. Back-alley swaps for cash? Now you know why they want to take away cash & implement Central Bank Digital Currencies.

So you'll have to do back-alley... oh, wait, the back alleys all have surveillance cameras now, better find somewhere else. Back-woods swaps of barter goods for privacy coins, just to donate to your favorite cartoon porn site.

And they want to make the batteries integral to the frame on new Teslas, to force you to replace it as often as an iPhone. And make conventionally-fuelled cars illegal. Can't afford an iTesla? Perfect, because they don't want you to have a car. Gonna take a while to get out of range of the cameras without a car, isn't it?

People should unify now, not just keep trying to slide by.

joke's on them, still driving a car from 1991 and using a computer without a TPM and they can't make me start using a TPM at the very least

Got the new radio in, but it seemed to be a brick. No display, RF out, or serial coms. Turns out it needed acc power. Fixed that, and it lit up and talked on serial- it threw a non-fatal error and still no RF, though it acted like it wanted to Tx. Poked around in the codeplug, and it thought should have an external encryption module. I told it didn't have that, and enabled DTMF dialing from the front panel- it works properly now.
Now to put my desired stuff in, and clear out all the old stuff.

Oh yeah

Since I couldn't find a good pic of what my fuse panel looks like, here.

Yeah, that's a leaf up there. I think it came out of the cowl somehow. And I know that one fuse is seated funny.

Microsoft files are still based on the proprietary format deprecated by the ISO in April 2008, and not on the ISO approved standard, so they embed a large amount of hidden artificial complexity. This causes handling issues with LibreOffice, which defaults to a true open standard format (the OpenDocument Format).

So... this is why formatting of the OOXML files people sent me always look off in LibraOffice.

When artists don't keep their video game screenshots/hololive crap on a different account, it makes crawling their artwork really annoying. Especially if they also post memes.
There are a few artists I like that I dread updating my collection for.

Wanted to try Windows Sandbox, but damn it, as I feared, this kill my VirtualBox Windows XP like if I had installed Hyper-V, so I uninstalled it.

I have a bunch of directories that I've been putting symlinks to artist directories in to categorize images by subject matter on my computer. Today i got tired of breaking symlinks whenever I organized stuff so I think I'm going to start using hard links everywhere instead.

Well, except for on files that are on other filesystems; the custom program I made for creating the links/choosing tag directories with a GUI now checks if the target and destination are on the same filesystem and decides whether to hard link or symlink based on that.

Hope this actually simplifies my life rather than bringing me additional pain. I can anticipate either outcome here due to the subtlety of the concept of hardlinks themselves, and bet some programs do awful things with them.

After playing with it on the bench for 2 days, finally have a pretty code codeplug going for my truck's radio, and some understanding of the model's quirks and capabilities.
Got it installed, though it's not on the proper 4 hole bracket that fixes the angle- the older and/or simpler radios used a 2 hole bracket and little teeth to fix the angle when it's tightened down.

You are forgetting about those artists who mostly tweet pics of their meals, or of their cats, or of both. And just when you thought it was safe to give up browsing, a wild high-quality piece of art appears.

I gave up the idea of actively following anyone’s tweets years ago.

That's why I dump them all, and just spam the delete key in my image viewer.

But yeah I've had the meals and animals ones too.

One of the artists I watch uses commission money to collect vintage computer stuff though, so that one's kinda cool. Just wish they'd chat with me about it sometime because that's my thing too.

Unfortunately twitter fucking sucks for public communication and it'd be pretty weird if I messaged them directly (since they don't know me at all; i just observe).

Thought: it's a shame that they've pretty much stopped making CCD general-purpose cameras. This one made very nice clean images (Pic related).
Now I need to clean its sensor of course; not sure how best to do that.

Time to Duel. Yugioh

Since I updated Firefox to 78.13.0 ESR, on a site there's a very visible time while the site is loaded maybe without css or something, then things start to get colored/resized.
Even if it doesn't take much time, it still come out as some flash between loadings.
I think it can happen on other sites too, so it may not be just that site being broken.
I'm not sure what I can do about this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

edit: part of the issue (in the worst case) was actually due to NoScript, not Firefox. All those years at watching Scooby-doo, and I still forget to take off the mask (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
They added an option to block some type of css, and made it block it all by default.

On another note, I struggled for a while with Firefox customization that rejected all my changes. I finally found out I wasn't modifying the right files, most likely because I moved AppData (or something similar) at some point, and I was modifying the "ghost data" left behind (what can and cannot be removed is unclear (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) )

at some point firefox default enabled their broken compositor called 'webrender'. try toggling all the force-disable ones regarding that in about:config. it doesnt work at all on my setup (nvidia and linux) causing half the browser to just be a black flashing void.
alternatively if its not using it, try enabling it

slightly related thought: might be able to get a large amount of them as they'll be decommissioned by work soon. tempted to set up a vhs surveilance system with them when I get them, those 'time lapse recorder' things still pop up every now and then in thrift stores

finally fixed a color purity issue on one of my CRT's by adjusting the yoke positioning for about two hours and degaussing regularly throughout. On prior attempts I was only degaussing when I got it looking correct, but it only was looking correct because it had gotten magnetized so degaussing made the color issue come back.
So the key was regular degaussing during the process.

Wish I knew a better way to get precise (i.e., perfect) rhythm timings than guessing and checking in a sequencer. Trying to transcribe 'sitenno' (from monster girl quest) and the percussion is kicking my ass. I suck at even determining time signatures.

I need a CDMA phone to have a chanve of getting coverage near my apartment, but at work even in open areas I've been noticing meh data coverage. Maybe I should look into a cheap GSM phone that's easy to swap the SIM in to test coverage.
I should be able to idly look at furry and/or anime tiddies on break, damnit.
