  • 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.



  • 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.


  • 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




  • 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.






  • Frustrating.

    The rate at which I absorb information is disgusting. Yes please finish your sentence I already have a response why are you taking so long. How did I learn that? I picked up the manual and did it. Developing new skills? Learning Rust right now and its going well, failed out of highschool because I learned too easily and didn’t need the homework to learn (so it didn’t get done).

    It comes with imposter syndrome: I knew the problem, I had the pattern figured out, why did I still fuck everything up (plot twist I probably didn’t).

    It comes with a superiority complex: I learned this in 10 minutes from looking at a Sci Journal, why has it been hours and yallvstill don’t get it? 🙄

    It comes with accidentally hurting people: frequently I say things thinking something hould be obvious when it is not, while unintended, it often hurts my partner who is usually in the line of fire when I let some dumb shit outta my mouth and insult someone’s intelligence.

    Anyway I hate it I’d rather be dumbsauce ignorance is bliss




  • If you have the time you could engineer a device that operates physical switches to represent bits, sort of like a curta calculator. Make it with enough bits available and engineer in an x86 compatible instruction set and hot damn you’ve got an electricity free computer, which (if you have the time) you can then manually set the storage bits into positions representative of your Linux filesystem with a minimal install. Figure out how you bootstrap the startup, perhaps engineer correct starting positions for the active bits (memory) such that you have an initramfs.

    Can be done, technically you could do it with windows too I guess but boo close source software
