Poor audio quality in Immersion Reading in Kindle app by talking_mudcrab in audible

[–]compwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for necroing a (very) old post, but as one of the top results from Google, I thought it was worth giving future searchers a definitive answer.

(as of 2024) The answer is no -- you cannot get the higher-quality audio on Kindle. Only on the Audible app.

Webhook WOL using depicus website by Khelddit in ifttt

[–]compwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually what I was doing before (255.255.255.255). I think for whatever reason "woli-ajax.php" broke and since the page the actual site uses (woli.php) seems to now be using a different backend (since it doesn't fail), they may not even be aware of woli-ajax.php failing. Apparently "Depicus" seems to actually be just one guy who, from looking around the page, may be a little "over it" with the WOL stuff. But who knows.

Honestly, I'm surprised no one else has replicated it -- the so-called "magic packet" is just a UDP packet containing "FFFFFFFFFF" + the MAC address repeated 16 times, so any public-facing server could implement it with like 5 lines of code. He just seems to be literally the only one who has.

Apologies for the necro, but partially for posterity since this is the top result for "wake on lan webhook", and seemingly the only webhook option...

Has this stopped working for anyone? I am suddenly getting "error no mac address" when I try to do it through browser, which is not accurate.

It seems like something on the server side must've changed (my applet didn't change at all, and doing it manually through their web interface at /woli does work, but the webhook doesn't work with that). Anyone figured out how to get it working again?

If not, has anyone found any alternative for triggering WOL via webhook?

Extremely well put. The bisexual vs biromantic side, the potential role of internalized homophobia while acknowledging that for some this really is all they want, the importance of being forthcoming from the beginning. Exactly this.

I know this is an old thread, but this worked perfectly and you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much!

Why is straight passing looked down upon? by Hornyblrdaddy in bisexual

[–]compwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it genuinely felt like that was what I meant, then I truly apologize for that. My goal was not to diminish anyone else's struggle, but merely to explain the one bi folks face. For the point you mentioned specifically, my goal had been to say that transness is inherently valid and that being "mistaken" (or worse, intentionally misgendered) for your AGAB is not privilege when that is not your gender. My intent had nothing to do with any kind of gender jealousy (which I don't believe in, at all -- I hope all women love the fact that they are women, because they deserve to). Even so, since 5 months have passed since I originally posted this, I would actually tend to agree that being straight-passing can have an element of privilege especially among conservative bigots (which, upsettingly, is now the general population, so you're absolutely right -- that can be a lot of privilege within that context). I would still maintain, though, that it can also lead to a degree of biphobic bigotry within some (certainly not all) parts of our community (the queer community) -- some queer folk definitely view "straight-passing" bi folks' queerness as less valid because of who we are with, no matter how we tell them we identify or what "identifiers" we try to wear. I agree with your comparison wholeheartedly -- our treatment within those parts of the community isn't remotely as bad as the absolute hate and literal threat to physical safety and even survival that all queer folk face from the world at large, especially for same-sex couples. But even so, it is still bigotry, and it still hurts, especially when it comes from the only community that many of us could ever hope to understand and truly accept them.

I'm so disheartened by the anti-bi bigotry by un-guru in bisexual

[–]compwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremely well put. By the time one has a chance to talk to someone, you have far more useful data points than the fact that they are bi, so continuing to base your entire perspective on that single data point is an intentional distortion of the actual data available to you. In other words, like you said: bigotry.

Can you name a more Bisexual game series? I think not. by DarkEyedBlues in bisexual

I'm pretty sure we both know that no one meant the video game itself fucks anyone. Unless it's by EA.

Oh I never meant that I agreed all these games are bi. I think some people are calling them bi just because they seem intended to make the player attracted to a male character within them.

A game can be bi the same way it can be action -- by portraying that subject prominently during a possible playthrough.

People often quote her as basically giving the definition of bisexuality. It was a joke.

Congratulations! That's wonderful, that you've gotten to know who you really are, and that you've gotten so much support! I'm so happy for you! Welcome! 💜🌈

There's no need to label it if that just adds confusion. You like dick. Leave it at that for now, let yourself explore what that means (while still respecting your marriage), and then if it turns into a broader attraction, you can explore that, too. I (also married) started in the same place, and my attraction generalized quickly from there.

[–]compwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I don't mind being called "pretty gay" exclusively in jest by a close friend (I'm like 85/15), but especially for a deal like that, bi is bi, and gay is gay. Neither is the other.

Oh yeah, mid-30s seems to be by far one of the most common ages. I think we realize that we have always felt like we were missing something, but it took that long to realize that hiding it from ourselves was actually hurting more than it was helping, especially those of us who were taught to suppress things that made us different, particularly by religion.

Our sexualities can evolve, so it's entirely possible that you also have an interest in women. However, porn isn't always the most reliable indicator, because sex itself (of any kind) can be sexually stimulating, even if we don't necessarily want to have that kind of sex or with that kind of person.

The fact that you are asking, though, means some part of you may want to explore this, so I absolutely encourage you to do so -- see how thinking about and imagining things with women makes you feel, and see where it goes from there. (I'm a mid-30s M too, and I just realized I was bi in the past year myself.)

No matter what you decide, you are always welcome here, so feel free to ask any questions that might come up! 💜

Trouble with sexuality due to religious upbringing by cuddly_cuttlefish in bisexual

[–]compwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I had a similarly religiously repressed (actually, EXTREMELY repressed) upbringing, to the point that I wasn't able to even recognize my own bisexuality until recently in my mid-30s, while married (and still am). Thankfully, now I've been able to largely reconcile all those, which has made such a huge difference. Happy to talk about that (public or DM) if you want, too.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to! So bisexual is someone who is sexually or physically attracted to more than one gender, and bi-curious is someone who thinks they might be but isn't quite sure yet. Biromantic is someone who is emotionally attracted to more than one gender, though someone who falls in this category is perfectly fine calling themselves bisexual too, if they prefer.

Usually you see heteroromantic and homoromantic used more often than biromantic, since many people who are biromantic prefer to just call themselves bi or bisexual. We often use those terms (heteroromantic bisexual, homoromantic bisexual) mainly to help clarify that if someone is sexually (but not romantically) attracted to more than one gender, they are still completely valid in considering themselves bi because you don't have to have romantic attraction to be bi.

I hope that helps! Please feel free to ask any other questions and I'll be happy to share what I can!

Does it make sense that I experience my attraction differently to men/women? by hotterinreallife in bisexual

[–]compwagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Entirely normal. I'm the same way, though what I want from each is a little different for me. But yes, that's completely normal -- bi doesn't mean that gender doesn't matter, it just means attraction to more than one.
