    Google has pretty much always been a prick, but recently they’ve been showing just how bug a prick they can be, with ramping up company acquisition, destruction and closure, ad obsession, censorship and other anti consumer moves. I believe rooting is essential to privacy, because Google. The less power conglomerates and corporations have the better.


  • Grats! Welcome to the femme side _ one negative note, you may have to be prepared to cut people off who do not have your best interests at heart. In my experience caring for yourself can result in moving away from others.

    On a positive note, you know where the party is :3 blahaj.zone! And you can finally ditch those basic threads and invest in style and btw I strongly recommend Estrid for body shaving stuff if you need it, best razors I’ve ever used!

    I knew the Israeli-Palestine conflict would cone up eventually. I’m with him for most things up until that point. He called the attack on October 7th a “genocide”. Genocide is attempted eradication of a demographic of humanity deemed lesser by the attackers. The IDF is committing genocide against Palestine, not the other way around…

    On a side note, is there any truth in his claims about increasing antisemitic attacks on Jewish residents of, I’m guessing, the US? I know the acting President threw a sieg heil but if the US is really starting to go that way, that’s very worrying. Last time Jews were persecuted, between 11 and 29 million non-‘cishet white christian males’ were murdered alongside them.

    Good luck with Spiro, it’s not recommended in Europe because of its link to higher chances of cancer and strokes. I was given a replacement once the UK NHS gender clinic took me in, of Decapeptyl.
    I used to take 100mg of Spiro every 12h. I ended up blitzing my T into oblivion aha
    Hormone alteration isn’t directly related to body size, though - you only need as much as needed to drop your body’s production of certain hormones. This requires blood tests to monitor.








  • You need any kind of mobo/CPU combo, I’ve heard 12th Gen Intel onwards are as capable of transcoding on the fly as an older GPU so you wouldn’t need both, but if you go older I recommend a GPU as well, just because it gives more flexibility with being able to use hardcoded subtitles without locking up the CPU, and streaming a lower bitrate version of the video if your internet is shit, instead of - again - locking up

    For easy certificate management I use NginX Proxy Manager, for media I use Emby and for a domain I use Cloudflare but you can absolutely serve your server with DuckDNS or another DDNS service for free.

    I paid about £200 to build my server, with a £30 CPU (Intel i6 3100), free motherboard, £50 PSU and £110 SFF case (rough costs), and holy fuck it’s so much cheaper than any subscription. Electricity is about £3-£5 a year and other costs are optional. I also sourced a GTX 970 for £90 that was more than up to the task of transcoding, but again, if you get a 12th gen you won’t need it.

    I just remembered the HDD I started with was a spare (10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro, but I shucked (like shucking for pearls) an external HDD to get it, as I heard that you can get lucky and get a good drive for cheaper than it would cost to buy it. Said eHDD was about £250.





  • Yeah, that’s my biggest concern as well. For example LetsPlay. They had a controversy in which one primary Minecraft player was fired and removed from the group, and I think a couple of their videos were scrubbed, even though the vast majority of content in the video was good entertainment.

    There are also copyright and DMCA claims ruining any YouTuber’s video, entertainment value and monetisation, including Google bending the knee to corporations that don’t actually have the right to claim any content… There are a lot of reasons for wanting to archive the internet, mostly state/corporate overreach


  • I just do a lot of scavenging on the internet for prices, overclockers’ findings (they’re usually knowledgeable on how close to stock the cards are), specs like clockspeed, reviewers’ failure rates (average score and trending complaint reasons give a fair idea of build quality) and YouTubers’ gameplay comparisons with intensive games to see real-world framerate generation. Brands might change over time, so its always good to check again if its been a while, but generally their goals for modding GPUs stay the same.

    If you are morally inclined, it’d also be prudent to do a quick background check on the brand for ethically terrible actions, like when was the last time they were responsible for a village’s drought, people dying, supporting cruelty to others etc. You can rate a brand by not only their care toward their product, but also toward customers via support and success of RMA (returns for defects), and toward humanity as a whole. ASUS score low on the customer front.
