One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It’s all here. Page not yet archived? There’s a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don’t always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

SELLING OFF MY CHILDHOOD ON EBAY

Hi, everyone, as I’ve mentioned before, I lost my 15+ year job this past month while at the same time spending more money than I still had caring for my terminally ill cat (she passed on the 15th). Alongside the GoFundMe I’ve kept on here, I am selling off the remainder of my childhood toy collection. I will be listing these on Ebay in phases, and Phase 1 with 14 auctions started tonight. Please check these auctions out and help me pay my bills! Thank you, love you all!

First up is what’s left of my REAL GHOSTBUSTERS by Kenner collection. Lots of mini-ghosts!

Complete with his gun, cloth jacket and briefcase, Bullet-Proof from C.O.P.S. wants to safeguard YOUR figure collection!

Over 150 of the awesome monsters, plus the trading card set!

A great lot of one of the 1980s short-lived but fondly-remembered toy lines.

The coolest body-less monsters around, get your hands around some vintage grossness.

Ever want to cut open an extra-terrestrial? You can now! Must supply your own ooze.

Michael Jordan and other sports stars need a new toy shelf to play ball on.

Looney Tunes! Tiny Toons! Animaniac Toonz! All my old Bugs and Daffy and the gang toys need a new home!

Ms. Pack-Man 1981 scratch-off cards! Super Mario fast food toys! More vintage fun for gamers!

Pet the noggin of the fangiest good boy around!

Larry, Moe and Curly need a new shelf to sit on!

One of the strangest football trading card series ever, with gridiron greats dressed as monstrous creatures. Plus foam footballs!

Draw with Spidey and Cap!

Help Becky find her own special Oppenheimer!

The next phase (in about a week) will include my HUGE G.I.Joe, He-Man and TMNT figure collections! Plus more! If you aren’t interested in these auctions but want to help, you can donate to my efforts with medical debt and crushing bills directly:

Thank you everyone! Love you all!

new blog post! part 2 of the #FuckStalkerware series, this one is pretty big!

also exclusively covered by techcrunch (less technical but more analysis than my post) here:

content warning: mentions of abuse/controlling behaviour

Just…uploaded a file and downloaded the whole database. You’d think SPYWARE would have some sort of security oh my GOD

“there is a check to only allow .mp3 and .3gp files respectively which clearly references potential hacks, however the check isn’t actually used for anything besides a now commented out log message.” I’m screaming

“so i now had a device with the definitely very numeric id maia.” this is more minor than all the other hell occurring but aaaaaaaah dynamically typed languages hurt
