"Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump #CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe."
404media.co/archivists-recreat

"A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org, went live Tuesday and is currently being hosted in Europe…Restored CDC isn’t going to have continuous updates on this type of healthcare and disease guidance, but it has brought back all of the critical data that was purged in an easy to use, easy to navigate, and fast website."

Here's the site itself.

I think to start with I should is just get the pi playing audio through the speakers and then measure how much power it all draws

The boombox in question is a Panasonic RX-5010ls (the one pictured is not mine), but it's pretty worse for wear and the radio was the only thing that worked (for about six months, lol) and parts of it are falling apart.

Plan is to take it apart, give it a good clean, and then work out how to wire the raspberry pi into the speakers. I'd like to keep the actual audio parts (as it does have volume, balance, and tone) but time and ability are factors. x3

Here we go, a two-fer for #WerewolfWednesday - 1994, Haunted Verdun Manor, Forney, TX. That's me in the then newly-finished Silvermane and Bart B_ in Lugaru, my previous suit. (Waves at Bart, wherever he is now; I've lost track over the years).

Imagine bumping into the two of us while going through a haunted house!

This was the only night Lugaru was "loaned out," and the only photo of both of us.

In a moment of frenzied excitement I decided to add some wolfsbane but I've never painted flowers before so now I'll have to learn how to paint flowers

k-ID (the age verification provider Discord use) store way more information about the AV process than they let on. Sure, as far as I can tell, actual images of your face are not uploaded but these absolutely are and are stored by k-ID (and are accessible) afterwards:

  • Device & Browser, including version info, OS, connection speed, page load times, etc.
  • The name and details of the webcam you use.
  • Precisely what happened during the AV process (which stages you completed)
  • Timelines of various facial movements you made (the position of 16+ tracking points on your face over time)

believe it or not transmasculinity and cismasculinity have different dynamics in society and equating the two as equally oppressive is appaling shit
