This is actually an insane take

Furries at large don’t care about the e2ee or security features

They care that:

1. their friends are the platform

2. custom stickers of their fursonas are easy to make and import

That’s basically it. Telegram has become entirely ubiquitous in the fandom. No one group/ideology claims it as their own.

Sincerely,

a progressive leftist furry who uses TG

The furry community is in absolute shambles

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

When my boss says “Got time for a call?”

I added that line because they got downvoted, assumed it was because someone thought it was just a statement rather than starting that train of thought

… But every police officer is racist!

Better yet - according to this page it’s on by default

(as long as it’s supported by the hardware.)

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

The weird gargoyles are still there, near baggage claim.

That’s the main terminal above security in the photo.

Great photo!

For context: they’ve been remodeling the interior of the airport for a few years now, all the walls here are temporary

Free hardware is the best hardware!

Hello! Would you like to destroy some evil today?

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

• Plex
• 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
• Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
• anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

• Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
• Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
• single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”

Meh, I prefer Vivaldi because I use it on PC too.

I like the extra customizability and features they offer vs the competition.

The way I’ve been using is to use the Vivaldi browser’s inbuilt adblocking. Comes with the added benefit of syncing to other devices and background audio playback so I can lock my phone and still have audio playing.

The mobile version of the website is also functionally identical to the app, sans advertising.

Nah, gotta exploit the Housing Shortage rule and NEVER upgrade to hotels

The game requires you to build houses before hotels, so if there are 32 (I believe) houses on the board, no one can go straight to hotels.

Even better if you own all the houses.

It’s like a hidden Monopoly in Monopoly

Wage theft is significantly more common than petty theft and occurs because the victims often don’t have the ability to fight back.

I see where you’re coming from but you can’t deny that these corporations don’t prey on the very people they employ.

Kinda fitting considering recent chrome news
