Hi, I'm Seb. I'm in my mid-forties and self-realized as this past Summer. Probably also , but I'm not there yet.

I'd love to connect with other individuals and chat it up.

@realcaseyrollins Regardless, the developers are now increasingly wary about "their" tools not being truly theirs anymore. Same goes for most of the infrastructure they rely on - social media, storage, distribution, the tools they use to design their assets with...

Attempting to unsubscribe from a newsletter results in me being "temporarily blocked"

One good day I wound up with a subscription to a site named Schwans, and I was receiving purchase orders from a guy named "John D." for some reason. So, naturally, I tried to unsubscribe. I got an error message saying:

Sorry, you have been temporarily blocked
We have implemented new measures to help protect against fraudulent activity. Something unusual was detected with your access to schwans.com and you’ve been temporarily blocked. Please contact our team at 1-888-724-9267 and provide the Ray ID shown below. We’ll have you back online as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to defend and protect customers from ever-changing cybersecurity threats.

Odd thing, so I go into the main website and unsubscribe manually. All fine and dandy until I start getting these emails AGAIN because Schwans decided to rebrand as Yelloh and that apparently reset their unsubscriptions and back to the same shenanigans we go!

Believe it or not, self-hosting! I went from renting a VPS for $40 a month, to purchasing an entire $150 machine at home, plus $50 or so in additional storage, plus a $20 a month VPS solely to bypass NAT restrictions... plus a few hundred dollars more when I first started, because I cheaped out on components and managed to brick not one, but two Intel BIOSes trying to update them.

Don't worry about that one! I've been working in digital for about ten years already, self-hosting is a nice side gig I have for my own amusement

Streaming services in general. I haven't watched a single TV series for almost a decade.

Do you use subtitles when they are available? I seem to be using them more often. They really are helpful.

@autism101 @actuallyautistic It depends, if it's full closed captioning it actually distracts me because it's too much repeated information. Same with sign language on the news.
