#Zip Code Validation

[larkandkatydid]

Discoveries my nerd friends have found out about the DEI reporting site is that you need a valid zip code but everything else can be nonsense, including just copy pasting “who was phone” style internet memes - and more importantly, that the coding on the site is SO bad that you can easily use Inspect Element to change both the character limit and file upload size limit to your heart’s content. So it is very possible for someone to upload something that is like 75 TB and brick their whole database.

Thank you for your service, friends. The scariest woman I know, who also holds my job in her hand, was talking about that website with genuine fear this morning because she had just hosted a DEI focused speaker at our conference and I thought to myself, “tumblr can take care of this,” which is rarely true, but these are unprecedented times.

AN: I color coded the convos bc it low-key confused me

Pink: reader, Orange: Chris, Green: Stella

“Like who the fuck does he think he is? He ghost me treats me like I’m a peace of trash and then when he sees me with someone else he wants to act all crazy and possessive like why the fuck? Talking bout sum ‘im picking you up tomorrow’ the hell you are.” I ranted to Stella as I pack my bag getting ready for us to go back to the dorms, if you can’t tell im furious, Stella sits on my bed listening to me rambling refusing to interrupt me “Like am I wrong? Like am I delusional?” I look back at her “No your not. He’s acting like an asshole” she replies validating me, I turn back huffing as I zip up my bag swinging it across my shoulder “Lets go” I tell her. We go downstairs bidding goodbye to my parents going to her car driving off.

At the dorm..

Im back in my dorm room scrolling on my phone when I get a call from the one and only, Chris. I sigh looking around before answering it.

“Hello?” “Get ready im on my way” “No” “What why not?” “Because I said so?” He stays silent for a couple seconds “Whatever I’m still coming can you atleast meet me in the parking lot? I just wanna talk that’s all” I take a few seconds thinking, do I want to sit and talk with him? Yes- I mean hell no. “Fine” I hang up sighing to myself dropping my phone on my chest, o close my eyes for a couple minutes taking deep breaths before getting up to put some clothes on. I grab a white tshirt and a black flare legging not trying to look like I tried to hard but not wanting to look an absolute bum. After about 20- 30 minutes he calls to tell me he’s downstairs, I put on my shoes, put on my glasses grab my phone and leave, Stella was taking a nap if she knew I was going to meet Chris she’d literally dismember me and feed me to the sharks. Thank God she’s hungover.

I leave my dorm deciding to take the stairs and not the elevator, just to make him wait a lil longer, I finally get down to the parking lot looking for his car when he flashes his lights at me, as I’m walking up to it my hearts racing, it’s so loud I can hear it, my hands are getting clammy. I sigh when I pull on the car door climbing in, I turn my head to the side to look at him, he’s absolutely gorgeous, and I hate it. We look at each other for a while none of us saying a word, it’s quite nice it’s like the silence is speaking for the both of us in way, he shifts in his seat turning his head away from me to look infront of him

“Im sorry…….i shouldn’t have treated you the way I did, I was just really stressed out and going through it this month and I just took it out on you and you didn’t deserve it, the way I talked to you was unacceptable and I am sorry your so sweet and kind and I just took that for granted, and I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you last night I was way out of line….i do really like you still but I understand if you don’t want to continue to hang out but if you do decide to give me another chance I won’t mess it up…I promise” I listen to him carefully, hearing him apologizing woke up something in me, when he’s done he looks back at me searching my face for some kind of reaction, everything in me just wants to grab his face and kiss him but I keep my composure “thank you, I like you too but Chris we got to talk, because things like this are just going to make things harder, if we are going to do this we have to communicate with each other that’s the only way things will work out”

I reply with full seriousness im my face and voice im not going to play these childish games with him, if he had simply told me all of that in the beginning we wouldn’t be in this situation right now, he looks at me attentively like he’s really paying attention to everything that im saying nodding his head a few times “Yeah your right I’ll try to be better at communicating with you” he tells me I smile leaning over the middle console and give him a hug that he gladly returns, it’s an awkward position but I don’t really care at this point. We both pull away before he pulls me in and kisses me and just like our first kiss it’s incredible.

His soft lips move against mine slowly, his tongue swiping on my lips bitting down on them occasionally. My head feels so light I might go dizzy I rest my head on his neck, we pul away for a second catching out breath, he chuckles I raise my eyebrows “whats so funny” I question him he smiles at me “when we pulled away your lips looked like duck lips” he says between giggles mimicking my so called ‘duck lips’ I giggles pushing his shoulder away “Chris I swear to God” I tell him trying to look serious but his laugh is so contagious I end up in a fit of giggles as well, when we finally calm down we look at each other “Wanna go get some food?” “Sure”

Welp, I've been using external methods of auto-backing up my tumblr but it seems like it doesn't do static pages, only posts.

So I guess I'll have some manual backing up to do later

Still, it's better than nothing and I'm using the official tumblr backup process for my smaller blogs so hopefully that'll net the static pages and direct messages too. But. My main - starstruckpurpledragon - 'backed up' officially but was undownloadable; either it failed or it'd download a broken, unusable, 'empty' zip. So *shrugs* I'm sure I'm not the only one who is trying to back up everything at once. Wouldn't be shocked if the rest of the backups are borked too when I try to download their zips.

There are two diff ways I've been externally backing up my tumblr.

TumblThree - This one is relatively straight forward in that you can download it and start backing up immediately. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done. Does not get static pages or your direct message conversations, but your posts, gifs, jpegs, etc are all there. You can back up more than just your own blog(s) if you want to as well.

That said, it dumps all your posts into one of three text files which makes them hard to find. That's why I say it's 'not pretty'. It does have a lot of options in there that are useful for tweaking your download experience and it's not bad for if you're unfamiliar with command line solutions and don't have an interest in learning them. (Which is fair, command line can be annoying if you're not used to it.) There are options for converting the output into nicer html files for each post but I haven't tried them and I suspect they require command line anyway.

I got my blogs backed up using this method as of yesterday but wasn't thrilled with the output. Decided that hey, I'm a software engineer, command line doesn't scare me, I'll try this back up thing another way. Leading to today's successful adventures with:

TumblrUtils - This one does take more work to set up but once it's working it'll back up all your posts in pretty html files by default. It does take some additional doing for video/audio but so does TumblThree so I'll probably look into it more later.

First, you have to download and install python. I promise, the code snake isn't dangerous, it's an incredibly useful scripting language. If you have an interest in learning computer languages, it's not a bad one to know. Installing python should go pretty fast and when it's completed, you'll now be able to run python scripts from the command line/terminal.

Next, you'll want to actually download the TumblrUtils zip file and unzip that somewhere. I stuck mine on an external drive, but basically put it where you've got space and can access it easily.

You'll want to open up the tumblr_backup.py file with a text editor and find line 105, which should look like: ''' API_KEY = '' '''

So here's the hard part. Getting a key to stick in there. Go to the tumblr apps page to 'register' an application - which is the fancy way of saying request an API. Hit the register an application button and, oh joy. A form. With required fields. *sigh* All the url fields can be the same url. It just needs to be a valid one. Ostensibly something that interfaces with tumblr fairly nicely. I have an old wordpress blog, so I used it. The rest of the fields should be pretty self explanatory. Only fill in the required ones. It should be approved instantly if everything is filled in right.

And maybe I'll start figuring out wordpress integration if tumblr doesn't die this year, that'd be interesting. *shrug* I've got too many projects to start a new one now, but I like learning things for the sake of learning them sometimes. So it's on my maybe to do list now.

Anywho, all goes well, you should now have an 'OAuth Consumer Key' which is the API key you want. Copy that, put in between the empty single quotes in the python script, and hit save.

Command line time!

It's fairly simple to do. Open your command line (or terminal), navigate to where the script lives, and then run: ''' tumblr_backup.py <blog_name_here> '''

You can also include options before the blog name but after the script filename if you want to get fancy about things. But just let it sit there running until it backs the whole blog up. It can also handle multiple blogs at once if you want. Big blogs will take hours, small blogs will take a few minutes. Which is about on par with TumblThree too, tbh.

The final result is pretty. Individual html files for every post (backdated to the original post date) and anything you reblogged, theme information, a shiny index file organizing everything. It's really quite nice to dig through. Much like TumbleThree, it does not seem to grab direct message conversations or static pages (non-posts) but again it's better than nothing.

And you can back up other blogs too, so if there are fandom blogs you follow and don't want to lose or friends whose blogs you'd like to hang on to for your own re-reading purposes, that's doable with either of these backup options.

I've backed up basically everything all over again today using this method (my main is still backing up, slow going) and it does appear to take less memory than official backups do. So that's a plus.

Anyway, this was me tossing my hat into the 'how to back up your tumblr' ring. Hope it's useful. :D

Experimentation - SHOWTIME

SUMMARY: Pomni isn't sure if Caine knows what he feels towards her, so she experiments a little bit. She's just curious. Nothing else. Nothing at all.

a/n: Title is also a double meaning for me, as this fic was written more so as practice for the sillies more than anything else. So apologies If it's a bit all over the place. I wasn't going to upload but Showtime fans are deprived of content so I will give you what you need 🙏

Pomni was far from oblivious to the things that Caine did to impress her.

Initially, it had been small attempts at making her happy--no doubt as a result of her first few adventures being particularly unpleasant. Caine didn't seem to understand most things about human responses, but it was of Pomni's understanding that it was in his programming to make everyone happy. And Pomni, from day one, had made it exceedingly clear just how unhappy she was. If anything, she was a challenge to Caine's coding, just begging to be fixed. Why wouldn't he put in a slight more effort for one of his superstars?

With time, though, his check-ins and side quests for her grew into...something else. Lingering touches on her hand or shoulder, seeking opportunities to show her, and only her, a preview of an upcoming adventure. Sometimes she caught his lingering gazes, his artificial eyes searching for validation of his work, and it made her wish to shrink away. He'd move his thumb lightly across her hand experimentally, sending a rush of nerves through Pomni's system. Or he'd fly around excitedly--often at the expense of Pomni's stomach--to show her something new he had coded into the circus. Or he'd show up in her room under the guise of a check-in, only to stay and talk with her for nearly an hour. He hung onto her every word, and Pomni had to admit to herself, she rather enjoyed his presence in those times. Getting to explain bits of her real life memories to his fascinated gaze; as she regained the pieces of what real life had been like, he was just beginning to understand it.

Just a day ago, she had found herself mindlessly recounting vague details of reality that she had once adored--the flickering of stars in a quiet night, the humming of crickets, the feeling of a slight breeze, the slight running of water nearby. She didn't know where that memory originated from, but she could still feel it. It was strange, not remembering facts but remembering feelings.

And now, she found herself recounting these thoughts as she waited for Caine on a "special adventure", staring at the way the digital stars twinkled in the night sky, and how her wisps of hair gently brushed across her face in the breeze.

His favoritism wasn't subtle, but Pomni had always tried to deny it to her friends. But now, standing here and seeing the ripples on the digital lake, she couldn't help but wonder. Was it really so bad? Wasn't it almost endearing that Caine had found himself so enamored with her? That he was falli--

"Good evening, my dear!"

Pomni stiffened at the sound of her ringmaster's enthusiastic voice, jumping out of her thoughts and flushing at the realization of what she had been considering. "AGH--Caine! How many times have I told you--"

"Ah, apologies, my dear. I just can't help but be over-the-moon about your private adventure!" Caine winked at his not-so-subtle play on words, zipping around excitedly above her.

Pomni rubbed her head. "Uh...okay...that's great," she said quietly.

"Isn't it?? I stayed up ALL night working on this just for you! Not that I need to sleep, of course," he chuckled before lowering to her level, carefully grabbing her hand in both of his, "But I did it! Just for you, dear."

"Just for me?" she repeated mindlessly. Her mind screamed the same words: AI, Program, NOT REAL, but she couldn't help but gaze again at the flickering stars and wonder--

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

"O-oh." There it was. His favoritism showing itself once again, his devotion to her and her alone. He brushed his thumb over her knuckles, gazing down at her hand as though he wished to memorize each detail. This was crazy. She couldn't let him be so foolish as to be interested in her, she couldn't let this go any further. "Caine--"

"Ah, ah, ah! This adventure is about you. I have SO much to show you!" His gentleness faded instantaneously from the excitement, the pressure on her hands growing tighter as he pulled her in. Before she could even process the closeness or the fluster, he grabbed her waist and graciously flew her above the lake. He set her down on a digital cloud, which she was able to step on as though it were a solid surface. She avoided looking down, tensing as she looked around her. "As your ringmaster, it is my sole purpose to make YOU and all of your co-stars happy," he exclaimed, pointing an exaggerated finger at her, "and I couldn't help but notice how your mannerisms changed when you told me about your world. My dear...I cannot return you to your world. But perhaps, I can bring your world here."

Pomni's heart skipped a beat at the gesture, which she tried to ignore. This wasn't the same Caine from her bad dreams when she'd first arrived. This was...different. Entirely different. "For...all of us?" she asked slowly.

His demeanor broke for a moment. "Ah--yes, yes. Of course! My role is to assure everyone at the circus is happy," He paused in thought for a moment before he flew down by her side and cautiously approached her, "but admittedly, you've been quite the challenge for me since you've arrived here. You're a bit stubborn, you know."

"Is that a bad thing?" Pomni cracked a smile.

"Not exactly, dear. It's one of my favorite traits of yours. It's what keeps me coming back to you," Caine said with what she assumed was a smile.

Pomni felt a light blush dust her pale face. "I don't think you know what you're saying."

Caine titled his head curiously at her. "Why is that?"

Pomni blinked. He really didn't know what he was saying, did he? Did he even know what he was feeling? Could he even feel anything?

She glanced sidelong at the flickering stars, the lake below her, the way the clouds swirled up and floated around them--enough to give her the courage to test the waters. Before she could listen to the voices in her mind screaming at her, she grabbed his gloved hand in hers. "So...you like that I'm a challenge to your purpose? Or is it something else?" she asked experimentally, hoping the quiver in her voice wasn't too obvious.

Caine's eyes widened at the sudden contact, too afraid to move his hand an inch at the risk that she would let go. Not that Pomni could see his reaction, as she was too busy looking at her red and blue shoes to avoid meeting his gaze with her flushed one. "Something...else? What would that be?"

She lightly traced her index finger along the edge of his hand. Oh, God. She didn't even know what she was doing. How does she even answer a question like that to an AI? "Well...what do you, uh, feel?" She sealed the gap between their fingers, interlacing them together carefully.

If Caine could breathe, his breath would have easily caught in his non-existent throat. "I feel that I want you to be happy."

"Because of your programming? Or...something else?" Pomni said before she could cringe at her own words. She was just asking because she was curious, that was all. She just wanted to know if he knew what romantic feelings even were, nothing more. Or so she told herself.

"Well, I want you to be happy all the time. Because of me. That is my purpose, isn't it?"

Pomni smiled half-heartedly. Intentional or not, he was making this extra difficult for her. "Yeah..." she agreed quietly, a strange pit settling in her stomach. Maybe he was just coded to be this way. Maybe she was just being extra difficult. Before she could think of anything else to say, the sudden sensation of his smooth teeth against her hand sent shockwaves up from her hand and into her digital heart. She stilled at the sensation, gaining the courage to meet his gaze as he lifted his teeth from her hand, a cartoonish flush appearing on his lower jaw.

"But, I do find myself feeling more...drawn to your happiness, dear," he admitted, looking to the side sheepishly. He brushed his thumb against her knuckles where he had left a kiss, causing Pomni to shiver. "My dear? Did I do something wrong?"

Pomni squeezed her pinwheel eues shut, tensing her shoulders. "No, no--Caine you--" she stuttered, "I..." God, what happened to her composure? She had never been like this around him before. But suddenly every movement against his hand sent chills across her body, every thing he'd done to make her happy felt significant, and--oh, God. She couldn't possibly be--

"Darling," Caine said, so quietly Pomni almost couldn't believe it was him. His hand trailed up to the curve of her chin, gazing at her so softly she felt dizzy, "you don't need to worry around me. You've taught me so much about your world, about how the human mind works. So dear...don't be afraid to teach me more."

Pomni couldn't tear her eyes away from his gaze, tongue tied by his intense adoration in his eyes. "What is it you want to know?" she asked quietly, her lips seeming to move before her mind could catch up.

"Anything you have to show me."

There was certianly no way he understood what he was implying.

And there was even less of a chance she was actively considering all the things she could show him. She blushed at the thought.

"Caine?"

"Yes, my dear?"

"I love this. All of this. Everything you've added to the grounds for me. It's sweet of you, and...it really feels a bit more like home. I-I just thought you'd want to know that it...you made me happy. Thank you."

Caine's eyes glistened cartoonishly, unable to tear his eyes from her. "Pomni," he sighed, saying her name for the first time all night somehow felt more intimate than any contact they'd had, "why is it that I feel this way?"

Pomni flushed. "What way?"

"I have made you happy, my very purpose as your ringmaster. But now, I don't want to stop making you happy. I..." he tightened his grip on her hand, "I've never been close like this to anyone before. Truly. Would it be so bold as to call you a friend?"

Pomni struggled to contain an incredulous laugh--he really didn't understand what he felt, did he? "I...think you're becoming a friend to me, as well," she admitted, staring down at their hands still clasped together. He had moved the hand on her face down to hold the top of her hand, gently rubbing circles against it. In the back of her mind, she still felt the imprint of his teeth against her hand, her heart speeding up at the thought. "Caine?"

"Mm?"

"Is it...well, um...would it be okay if...I taught you, one more thing?"

"Why Pomni, I'd love nothing more than that!"

Pomni smiled. "Okay, it's just..." she hesitated, allowing herself to get caught up in the way the stars twinkled around them before tracing her hands up to his chest, then his shoulder, then below his lower jaw. She could see him gazing at her curiously, stiffening at the way her hands slid up him. Before she could regret it or think twice, she moved closer and tilted his teeth to her right before planting a quick, firm kiss to the left side of his lower jaw.

Time stilled for Caine, pupils dilating and jaw frozen slack in place as she pulled away. The stars he had created just for her reflected in his eyes, her touch lingering everywhere they made contact. He didn't even realize he had placed his hand on his lower jaw until he saw her flushed face pulling away. His tongue tied, breath stolen from his metaphorical lungs, he could do nothing but stare at the woman before him that somehow seemed more beautiful than ever under his starlight.

Pomni's heart raced at the way he was looking at her. This was all too much. Why had she even done that? What was going on with her tonight? When he stared at her, frozen in time, her face burned more and she twiddled her thumbs. "U-uh, can you put me down, now?"

It took Caine a moment to register her words. "Y-yes. Of course, darling."

He didn't even have it in him to carry her down with him. No, she had left his code too starstruck with the gesture that mystified him. He simply snapped and the two of them were by the digital lake. She walked towards it and experimentally dipped her gloved finger into the waters, relishing in the sensations around her digits.

She looked back at him with a small smile, his code seeming to thrum excitedly at seeing her joy because of him.

Her taking the next step of intimacy left him confused, to say the least. There was far less about human emotion and mind that he understood, and if anything, the static-like feelings in his chest were nothing short of a mystery to him. Perhaps he'd have to check himself for a bug later.

No matter. He shook the thoughts from his head, the feeling still lingering as her floated by her side, unable to stop smiling at her quiet demeanor. She took in every detail he had added just for her, smiling to herself.

She'd have time to regret her forwardness later. Or scream into her pillow about developing a crush on an AI. For now, there was only this moment.

"Thank you, Caine."

"Anything for you, my dear."

And he meant it.

Elon Musk's 'America PAC' is tricking people into thinking they're registering to vote, and harvesting their personal data instead

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/02/elon-musk-pac-voter-data-trump-harris.html

The website says it will help the viewer register to vote. But once a user clicks “Register to Vote,” the experience he or she will have can be very different, depending on where they live. If a user lives in a state that is not considered competitive in the presidential election, like California or Wyoming for example, they’ll be prompted to enter their email addresses and ZIP code and then directed quickly to a voter registration page for their state, or back to the original sign-up section. But for users who enter a ZIP code that indicates they live in a battleground state, like Pennsylvania or Georgia, the process is very different. Rather than be directed to their state’s voter registration page, they instead are directed to a highly detailed personal information form, prompted to enter their address, cellphone number and age. If they agree to submit all that, the system still does not steer them to a voter registration page. Instead, it shows them a “thank you” page.

I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like an attempt to trick people into thinking that form was a valid voter registration. Especially since it behaves differently, and does lead to voter registration for people outside the targeted areas. They're trying to avoid detection by acting honest and straightforward towards everyone except their targets, and then committing fraud in their target states as a voter suppression tactic.

How to Downgrade Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Home directly

This article will show you how to downgrade from Windows 11 Pro, Pro Education, Education, or Enterprise to Windows 11 Home without a clean installation.  The trick is to change the Edition ID in the registry and then do a repair installation using the ISO or Media Creation Tool.

However, as we all know, A direct downgrade is not supported, and it would normally require a clean install of Windows 11 Home, but it will result in losing all your programs, and settings and all files and data in C drive !

Step 1: Change the Edition ID in registry 

Method 1:

Search”Regedit”, then click it, then go to the following branches one by one, And change the values for the two branches.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

2. Double-click “CompositionEditionID” and set its data to “Core“. 3. Double-click “EditionID” and set its data to “Core“. 4. Double-click “ProductName” and set its data to “Windows 10 Home.”

#Important# Please set the “ProductName” value to “Windows 10 Home” even it is Windows 11 

5, After modifying the value data in the above two branches, exit the Registry Editor.

Method 2:

1. First , please make sure you’ve signed in Windows 11 Pro as an administrator.

2. Create a txt document then change the extension .txt to .reg file, then input these codes and save it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] “CompositionEditionID”=”Core” “EditionID”=”Core” “ProductName”=”Windows 11 Home” [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] “CompositionEditionID”=”Core” “EditionID”=”Core” “ProductName”=”Windows 11 Home”

3. Double click on the .reg file to start to merge the registry.

4. Please select “Yes”, “Yes”, “Ok” to approve and complete the merge.

5. There is no use for the .reg file any more， you can delete it.

Step 2: Downgrade Windows 11 Home with ISO file or Media Creation Tool.

1, Download Windows 11 ISO file, then open the ISO file with win-rar or 7-zip, then double click “Setup”.

Because we changed the EditionID and Product Name, so we will be able to install the Windows 11 Home.

2, Follow the steps: “ready to install”, Select “Install;  “Change what to keep”, please select “keep personal file and apps”; then click “Next” and then click “Install”.

When the repair install has finished, you will now be downgraded to the Windows 11 Home edition without losing anything.

If your Windows 11 Home is not activated by a digital license before, then you will need to Change product key to a valid Windows 11 Home key to activate.

back in the day networking software was what is defined as monolithic: it was all one big blanket of code that handled everything from the data to send to what headers and information add to it before sending it to the Cables(tm)

problem is, get one problem somewhere, you have to unravel all of it to find where the problem is, and the network stops netting and/or working

enter, drumroll please,

iso/osi stacks

the guys over at iso (the organization) came up with this nifty little trick to slice up the Big into many Smalls: 7 layers (or abstraction layers if you are a big nerd)

application: here are the high-end protocols! like http, ftp (file transfer protocol, what were you thinking?) and the dreaded simple mail transfer protocol which i can say after studying it, it is not simple

presentation: applications dont speak internet, so presentation handles (de)codification, (de)encryption and (de)compression however the Protocols see fit

session: most protocols don't have functions or buffers to remember who sent what so session handles keeping connections alive with sessions: little tin cans with a string so the two members of the communication remember each other

transport: this guy is responsible for whether you want to use tcp or udp as a transport protocol (tcp is slower and has data validation for the recipient, udp is faster but fails more often) and chopping up data in tidbits to actually be able to wring them around the net

network: handles ip addresses, routing and telling the other guy everything is okay because that fuckass udp lost me two whole packet fragments

data-link: the oddball of the bunch because it has a dash in its name. and also because it's two sublayers under a trenchcoat

physical: takes whatever the upper layers gobbled up and zip-zaps the cable to send electricity

basically what happens is application concocts the data, hands it to presentatiom and one it is done, it hands it down to session, so on and so forth until physical sends it to the recipient who is going to do the opposite! physical takes the data, gives it to data-link, d-l chews it up a bit, gives it to network until application gets the oh-so-coveted picture of a cat the sender was sending

it's not over yet as those cheeky bastards managed to wedge the stack open with a lego brick remover and stick a little guy called secure sockets layer in to secure the sockets (woah.). he's dead and now we have transport layer security which is that, but better

whevernevr you see an s at the end of a protocol's name, it means one of these two motherfuckers meddled with your data to make it secure and unreadable to the big mean hackers typing dir /s in green letters in the command prompt

Huh

not to continue strongly making everything about me but at the caps games one of their things was if someone scored (either ovi or in the last minute of the period or something) there was free papa johns something or other but when i tried it it said my zip code wasn’t included? i lived in the city of washington dc wtf do you mean my zip code isn’t valid

[After a lengthy argument that again led no where, Pumpernickle sighed as Inch tucked himself familiarly into her ear. It hurt this time...had it always hurt? She couldn't recall. She took a slow moment to doodle a silly image, putting it into the zip with Sam. A silly warning not to overthink things. And then, her attention shifted, seeing Sonny back on the server.]

"W-welcome back. What're you working on?"

"Ah, hello Pumpernickel... Im... sorry I was away for so long. I had to... Uhm.."

[He tucked a strand of hair behind his ear- there wasn't actually that valid of an excuse this time. Just spending time with his lover..]

"Anyways, I'm sorting through some of these more mangled files of assets and code. A lot of these folders have gotten mixed up and tangled over the years, and I'm hoping if I sort some of this out it will A) run a bit better and B) Be...easier to work through."

[He gave a quiet sigh.]

"There's a lot here.. So i'm not sure how long it will take. Id like to piece a lot of these older bits together to see if theres anything useful or interesting. A lot of the work is background stuff I dont need to think about too hard, so this will keep me busy."

The Curious Case of the 88888 Zip Code: Myth, Marketing, or Mistaken Identity?

The is 88888 a valid zip code question has fascinated and perplexed people for years. This intriguing string of repeating digits has become synonymous with the North Pole and Santa Claus, conjuring images of snow-laden landscapes and jolly elves hard at work. But is 88888 a legitimate postal code recognized by the United States Postal Service (USPS)? Let's delve into the origins of this myth and uncover the truth. https://sihasah.com/the-curious-case-of-the-88888-zip-code-myth-marketing-or-mistaken-identity/

[thedeviljudges]

im trying to order my couch online cuz i got some coupons i can use (yay!) but the website doesn't recognize my new zip code as valid lmaoooo did a google search and apparently it's a newer code created a few year ago, so it's very possible there are sites out there that don't have it logged like this one.

i had to email customer service about it. 😭

[clownrecess]

Hello 👋 I intend to participate in a volunteer program in the next year and one of the places I may vollenteer is an assisted living facility for people with high support needs and medium support needs autism. The people who live at the hostel go to a care center during the day but are at the hostel in the afternoon and night and the staff at the hostel does the general stuff of helping them out around the house. That being said when I went to the hostel they explained that they use an ABA based approach of interacting with the residents in a way that according to them is supposed to teach them important communication skills such as pointing to pictures if there is a problem to explain what it is or to wave to get someones attention instead of grabbing them.

From what I heard ABA is wildly considered abusive but the people on staff argued that it is different with medium and high support needs autism. My question is: from your experience can aba be positive? Would you say that it's inherently abusive? Is it different for people with low support needs and medium/high? (I'm sending this to multiple blogs who talk about the topic a lot so you may see this ask multiple times, sorry bout that)

(tw for ABA, trauma, abuse sewerslide)

I think that if it isnt done in an abusive manner it isnt properly ABA whether it is labeled as it or not.

ABA in it's TRUE form is an abusive practice that's purpose is to "build a human" (the creators words!), and is essentially conversion therapy for autistics (or otherwise disabled people.).

I am fully aware that some people who have been in a practice labeled as ABA have experienced zero abuse, but ABA was designed to be abusive, so I feel that if it wasnt abusive it was mislabeled.

My ABA was greatly traumatic and made me deeply su1cid@l. The only thing it helped me with was remembering my zip code and address.

I know that opinions vary through experiencers and that is valid. I'm just sharing mine.

How to Start Address Verification Service

In this fast-changing world, you have to be on the top of your game in order to provide a seamless shopping experience to your customers. Otherwise, even a slight glitch in the process can derail your entire business. One such area where you can make a huge difference is the checkout and shipping process.

Providing an easy and smooth checkout process to your customers is essential for establishing trust, building a loyal customer base, and ensuring a good ROI. This is where address verification comes in, as it reduces the total number of keystrokes required to complete the payment and shipping process. It also ensures that your customer’s address is correct, which will boost your business.

How Does the Address Verification System Work?

The Address Verification Service (AVS) is a fraud prevention tool that checks the billing address entered by the customer during a credit card transaction. It compares the address submitted by the customer with the address on file at the cardholder’s bank, and flags any mismatches as possible fraud. AVS was originally designed to help MOTO (mail-in and phone-in) merchants with card-not-present transactions, but it’s now a critical component of all card-not-present fraud detection systems.

The address validation process uses fuzzy matching to correct spelling errors, missing words, abbreviations, letters, switched letters and spaces, digits in zip code, geocoding, and more. It is compatible with all major global addresses and can help you reduce cart abandonment, increase conversions, and boost your ROI. It is easy to set up and use, and it complies with data compliance rules. It also helps you create a positive user experience that will encourage your customers to come back again and again!

so the air quality here is in the red today (although it actually says green if you put in our zip code but the entire surrounding area is red...apparently we dont actually get valid real time updates here bc were too small to matter 🥴) so ig that explains why i woke up vomiting and my chest hurts + everyone else in the house + a friend of skerples has been sick. and were like halfway down the coast cannot imagine how bad it would be for us if we actually lived closer to the source 😬
