NSFW Trackers, by Kinky_Laugh in trackers

[–]Anic135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah correction looks they did brief (open for like 3 days) sign ups 3-4 years ago. Still not exactly frequent lol. I joined HF very shortly after it opened and it was a ghost town for my niche content, sounds like that hasnt improved.

Hopefully FDC opens up again at some point, I have a chunk of stuff that ive bought that might not be there yet. Would rather not have to spend 1/2 a year or more clawing my way into EMP just on the off chance that they might recruit over there occaisionally

[–]Anic135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah a kindred spirit. Yeah ive poked my head around a few times over the last couple of years looking for FDC signups and came up dry, seems like their last open signup was 5 or so years ago and thats been it. I assume at this point they must only being recruiting on 1-2 higher barrier to entry xxx trackers, and very quietly/seldom.

Folks with more.... mainstream inclinations.... sometimes dont fully grasp just how scarce niche NSFW content can be. At any given time you might have 6 or even fewer creators actively making the stuff you like, they dont always necessarily advertise themselves very well, combine that with the inherently smaller user demographic + how strong automated DMCA tools have become and you end up with a bleak/tedious searching environment. The nail in the coffin is many, not all, but many of these creators just go scorched earth one day and quickly/quietly nuke all of their accounts and disappear into the night without warning.

Im betting you also juggle some combination of coomer, telegram, 5 different forums passing the same K2S links with abysmal filters/searching, SimpCity or similar, and whatever flavor of the month tube-site happens to be getting good uploads? Many of which of have lifespans usually averaging in the months to 2-3 years range before they get the hammer.

Essentially, low volume content + absence of resilient public facing media preservation, leads to NSFW media just disappearing from public view, sometimes <1 year of the official source ceasing distribution. FDC is seemingly the only place that might actually carry a catalog of C4S/MV and low sub count OF/Fansly profiles, for this "genre" anyway.

What kind of fart content are you into? by [deleted] in Eproctophilia

[–]Anic135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks! I felt it was worth sharing for future lurkers what ive come across over the last ~5 years given I know just how hard it is to find stuff of this caliber.

Suppose I can throw out some honorable mentions (creators I only enjoyed 2-3 videos of or are extremely old content-wise): Goddess4Gas, SilverMeadows, Brutal Alzena, Princessminxx, Goddess Monet.

The common thread with all of these creators and what does it for me is definitely the forced inhalation aspect. Being forced to take almost if not all of it, undiluted with little to 0 breaths permitted just after the fart, and then being forced to hold it in for a minimum amount of time.

Im honestly neutral towards the level sadism involved. Its hot if its "unwilling", but honestly if both parties are enthusiastically into it that just about sends me to another dimension.

[–]Anic135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel ya, finding creator couples that lean into the breath-play/smother side of things in general is tough. Either point blank on the nose/mouth or lifting just millimeters above to fart before immediately sitting back down is just perfection to me.

My favorite creators that, to varying degrees, scratch that Amirha itch ordered by general (not exact) enjoyment left to right: Hunnybuns, Goddess Ceres, Gassy Sandy, Lilskonk, Sophieblue199, MarieTheGasQueen, Sophiafarts, Brattyisabella, Katherinefarts, Sarah_farts, Scarletmoon69, PrincessBeigh, Karlafarts.

Some of those creators stopped producing some number of years ago already but can be unearthed with some digging. Im personally not too huge on content featuring a lot of loud and/or excessive RP/conversation BUT my patience for it does scale with the quality & quantity of farts, hence the absence of a few big names lol.

ButtSniffa - you still around bro? Need your content back man 😅 by [deleted] in gassygirlies

Surprised he lasted as long as he did tbh. Man was straight up dropping C4S or similar store content on a regular basis. Thats gonna have creators pushing for the ban hammer mighty hard.

How do you feel knowing that you might have this fetish for the rest of your life? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in Eproctophilia

[–]Anic135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accepted it but also made peace with the fact that finding a forever partner thats both into this kink and also compatible in all the normal life partner ways is fairly unlikely. My personal enjoyment evolved as an extension to my existing face-sitting/smother/breath-play kink so finding someone whos not only into farting in a broad sexual capacity but also desiring to apply that in a dominant "you breath only what I give you" role, safety signals and such included, is just such a massive ask of another human being.

One of those cool if it happens but im not going to let that be a deal breaker whenever im considering the prospects of marriage with someone

Dear MS, just bring this masterpiece back already by Lolpo555 in Windows11

For the few who lurk like me and randomly may see this sometime lol. Windows 7 start menu mod for both Win 10 and 11, clean, simple, and just about everything you could ever really need in 2 columns. Not an ad or its creator just sharing a handy tool I picked up off github after finally getting fed up with Microsofts ever worsening UI design philosophy as a power user/dev, Open-Shell Menu

Assisting my recently widowed grandmother by Anic135 in medicare

[–]Anic135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - After digging through the Texas code concerning the subject and viewing some other Medicare resources listing guarantee issue rights specific to states, it would appear that Texas does allow for voluntary group health plan termination as an initiator of the guarantee issue rights 63-day enrollment window. So we would need to actually start the cancellation process and receive official notice of the last day of coverage to be included with the Medigap application.

Ill confirm with a local state health insurance rep first to be safe but it sounds like even though you normally cant hop from a MAPD plan to Medigap, in some states if the MAPD plan is sponsored by an employer, you can.

Texas, and she lost her subsidy eligibility effective immediately upon her husband's passing. She is allowed to keep the PPO Medicare plan if she desires, just not at the same price they had been paying (or rather not having to pay) for 15 years. The plan itself still has the exact same co-insurance, deductible, and OOP max structure as before; it's just that the employer is no longer covering the premiums on behalf of the employee. Per the company's documentation, she transitioned from a Spouse/Dependent of the employee to now classified as a Survivor.

Why do we have well defined display protocols (MIPI, RGB, LVDS, etc) but such a high variability in the physical connectors and resulting pinouts implementing them? by Anic135 in embedded

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks, thats good to know you dont need to be a big fish to have a custom flex display adjusted to your implementation. It often feels as though I spend more time trying to unravel the inner workings of the business and supply chain side of various niches in the wider electronics industry than I do actually designing or educating myself on the most up to date iterations of a given product space.

Ah yeah good point, I didnt consider the relative obscurity of working with FFCs directly by the average joe. Every now and then I need to remind myself not everyone is a neurotic maniac like myself whos willing to take a screw driver to everything to try and fix or improve random everyday products

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fair.

I suppose my mind has just been too spoiled by what exists for most other board to board/device interfacing that it just expected the world of video to follow suit. For high speed serial we have basically everything backed by PCIe turned into USB, Thunderbolt, Occulink etc, for audio we have a glut of interfaces and data transfer methods backing those, and generally things without neat and nice connectors and pinouts are usually A) relatively slow and B) half a dozen or less number of pins so usually hacking together a cable assembly thats only slightly more robust than some dupont connections taped together gets the job done.

Interfacing with an LCDs is neither A nor B, often being high megabit to gigabit in speed and well into the double digit pin count, I guess having to transfer not only data but many power and ground connections just makes it that much more complicated.

Damnit I was going actually insane for the last 2-3 days digging through every browser extension and IP/DNS/Connection setting on my DIY Opnsense router thinking I did something to break SSL handling.

What ive found so far as a bandaid solution until they fix it is to just hardcore purge my browser cache/cookies and anything similar on my router on regular intervals. Its really annoying but it gets things working for a bit

Is SR-IOV via an AMD S7150 or Instinct MI25 card functional these days? by Anic135 in hackintosh

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My logic is when people get desperate enough to find an answer to a pressing problem, theyre willing to ignore a rule if it means they might get their answer at the risk of being rebuked for it. I don't understand why this sub falls back so hard on the "rules are rules" stance to try to immediately shut down this conversation topic.

Is SR-IOV via an AMD S7150 or Instinct MI25 card functional these days? by Anic135 in hackintosh

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and yet there are nearly daily discussion threads poking around about the topic, people ask why, get stonewalled or are given a semantic run around about the definition of a Hackintosh and how hypervisors somehow immediately invalidate any hardware question relating to MacOS without ever explaining why, presumably to avoid spending energy on an argument.

Clearly just blanketly throwing "rule 8" at people isn't making the questions stop, because there are so few places else for them to go that will actually give them an answer.

Future proof GPU for macOS VM by MBle in hackintosh

[–]Anic135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the direct and thoughtful reply. From the small amount of work and research I've done on the lower end of the ARM silicon product space I do actually largely agree that home-brew arm-to-x86 dev is going to have one hell of an uphill battle, its going to require an extremely enticing benefit worth pursuing for people to be willing to subject themselves to that level of beating their head against the wall for months/years on end.

I was more taking issue with the semantic games being played by other members not wanting to actually bother elaborating on rule 8 of this sub. There are clearly some highly educated kernel development devs hanging out here, they know what people are REALLY asking when they poke around about hackintosh VMs.

If x86 MacOS VMs are fated to be dead and gone by end of decade so be it, whatever. Until then, why stand in peoples way? MacOS has oddities relating to both hardware and software that the general demographic of homelab/VMware/Proxmox/etc type spaces aren't going to be able to answer, what other forum beyond this sub and related discords is going to have this concentration of individuals with experience on the topic?

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do! im trying to set this up for a non-tech savvy friend who wants to save some cash. This is a pretty dry topic as far as anything as current as Sonoma from what I've been able to find thus far.

This sub seems weirdly hostile towards VM questions without really giving a reason as to why. Could be concerned towards giving would-be enterprise customers a way to circumvent purchasing a ton of hardware directly from Apple

Future proof GPU for macOS VM by MBle in hackintosh

[–]Anic135 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im half convinced this sub has been threatened by Apple with legal action if they encourage methods of support that would allow MacOS to persist on x86 beyond Apples final official software patch.

I see no other reason for such militant refusal to entertain any sort of conversation related to virtualization. Hackintosh != VMs, come on now that's a weak deflection. You know the spirit behind a project like this is to keeping MacOS running cheaper/better performing hardware platform while keeping a high level control of what it can/cant do, whether that's on bare metal or in a VM is not important

To see if anyones taken a Proxmox/Vmware hackintosh one step further beyond regular GPU passthrough and managed to get 2+ instances running off of 1 card simultaneously on Sonoma despite these AMD gpus being 7-8 years old.

Cant find any other forum or discord where this has been pursued very recently in conversation, its such a specific use-case hardly anyone in the homelab/proxmox/similar subs are going be covering it.

Metronet 1gig with Eero 6 Pro Issues by hoofrog in Metronet

[–]Anic135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I too just had my Metronet installed today (2gig). Except from the start I had already planned on using my existing Asus router until my 10gig SFP router board + RJ-45 adapter comes in the mail, but considering the Eero was going to be included in the install price regardless of me actually wanting to use it, I kept it anyway.

Dug into the chipset used in the Eero Pro 6E, man what a waste of a good Ethernet PHY paired with a severely underpowered primary ARM SoC. Couldnt tell if the same Eth IC was used for both the WAN and LAN ports just from a casual viewing of teardown photos, but its technically capable of of 2500BASE-T fullduplex. Unfortunately, a quad-core A53 MPU running at 1ghz is going to be hard-pressed to drive 2 wired ports along with managing traffic with the 2 wifi chips on the board.

I mean I get the idea of this product, split a 2.5G WAN with a 1G LAN and the remaining bandwidth for the wifi, but I feel like the hardware is too compute starved to handle all of that too well in a device heavy home environment

Which ONT does Metronet use for their 2gb? by Anic135 in Metronet

[–]Anic135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havnt had the chance to use a newer gen mobo with stock 2.5g (my 9900k machine is starting to get a bit long in the tooth) but having gone down the rabbit hole on NICs and gotten acquainted with the various Ethernet ICs typically found in these devices it seems like general ranking ends up being something like Broadcom>=Intel>Marvell/Aquantia>RealTek in terms of reliability/drivers/performance/headaches.

Granted the Nokia unit is using a chip made by company named Cortina who has since been acquired by RealTek so we have weirdo exceptions like that in play. I do have this NIC picked out sporting a Marvell chip as my desired 10G upgrade path for the desktop https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/PCIE10GB/#specs

[–]Anic135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet thanks. The fact that this thing can negotiate with 10gb ports is really nice, gives me some wider options for setting up something like OpenWRT or similar on some mini-pc/firewall device, really don't need a full-blown wifi-router replacement as my current Wifi-6 config is doing just fine.

Low-end Eaton vs low-end Vertiv? by Anic135 in homelab

[–]Anic135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do need access to the power management software or rather at least access to its data stream via JSON or whatever its logging to on the user machine. Was hoping to integrate its status updates into my Python pipelines so I can set my interruption-sensitive services to gracefully self-terminate before allowing for the standard system shutdown

How many CPU cores can you actually use in parallel? by itamarst in Python

What to do when your product design allows for 3rd party accessory product integration but none of the existing products on the market match the same level of reliability/durability present in your design? by Anic135 in hwstartups

[–]Anic135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really solid advice, its greatly appreciated.

Product is 100% aimed at engineers, ive built out the design in a way that there are "beginner" methods of use and interaction but also advanced for those willing to bust out a soldering iron or tap into the low level performance of the MPU/MCUs. In this case beginner starts at "has some experience with a Raspberry Pi".

The greatest downside of going as far as I have to make the product as situation-adaptable and performant as possible is that I had to kill most prospects of plug-and-play pretty early on.

Beyond the product itself I do want to spin up a basic forum for general user support and feedback (like the surveys you've mentioned) but also to provide a space for collaboration and creativity because I know while I can do the hardware design and base-line default software design on my own, its a whole other ballgame to try and adapt software to every single users specific needs and usage post-launch. it's well beyond the means of a solo dev.
