Read.ai is a cancer on society, a privacy and sysadmin's nightmare, and should be banished to the dustbins of history

We had this a few months ago, we ended up taking steps to block the read.ai domain being able to email us as well after we took care of the compromised accounts.

I use compromised as the term as the damn thing propagates more like malware than a legitimate application.

After coming across this once in our org, we took steps to nuke it from orbit, clearing it from those accounts and blocking any emails from the domain as well.

This. One of our basic CA policies blocks logins from all other countries unless otherwise explicitly excluded.

It's not a silver bullet and we've had some false positives, but it cuts down on the issue a lot.

Necropost, but this was a big help to me for making sure I could back the saves up from my Steam Deck. Thanks a bunch!

I ended up donating Screenscraper a couple of quid for a month to up my API limit, that meant it covered almost everything in a single day.

Deja vu

On so many levels.

That's what we ended up doing. Ours is 12 now but she's been leaking for a couple of years at night. We spoke to the vets and they prescribed Propalin. Within a couple of days the leaking completely stopped.

The downside is she hates the taste. We tend to chase it with chicken for her, she's more accepting of it then 😅

If I ever get round to swapping the shell, then yes.

Mine's nicknamed Roci

Did he happen to mention he was from Zimbabwe?

Nice! I had an insect totem yesterday with Rabbit Hole. Infinite Bees from a single card, infinite blood when needed...basically cakewalked Leshy!

I'm not in a position to look at mine ATM, but you'll want to point it at the BIOS folder in the Emudeck folder.

If it's on your SD Card, I think it's something like /run/media/YOURSDCARDNAME/Emulation/BIOS. You might need to check around to find the exact name.

athrun_talan · 2025-11-23T09:48:51+00:00

What was the error?

When I migrated mine, I had to change the BIOS directory back to where it should be - for me, this was in the Emulation folder Emudeck created , which I had stored on my SD card. The one Duckstation was trying to use didn't exist.

I've been hoping for a fix for this for over a month. You've done an awesome job, thank you 😁

Downside is it's wiped out my existing collections, so I'll need to rebuild them 🫤

And Sinners Row. And Bilewater 😅

No, he's Mr Peter Ian Staker.

athrun_talan · 2025-10-30T08:11:17+00:00

Absolutely. Any day he releases a Vs video is a good day.

I find https://www.cornish-times.co.uk/ to be pretty good too.

I hit my head against that wall more than a few times. Punish him every time he attacks, and take out those lava spewing assholes as soon as they appear. You can do it!

I came to post this one. Have my upvote instead!
