What's on your mind?

[Whisper]

I'm the guy that like to analyze everything, especially about myself. Recently I found that post about management of stimulants and health, so I decided to test it.
My regular stimulants are standard ones — tea and coffee, but since I have ADHD (probably) I have prescribed amphetamine for "special needs", which I'm using very sparsely. I bought a bunch of different diet supplements and chemicals that suppose to enhance and regulate my stimulants experience and keep me in good health.
For some time already I register all substances I'm taking and my general prosperity (mood, sleep, productivity, drugs etc.) and surprisingly I have some positive effects. Before I was able to increase coffee dose for ~5 days before my tolerance built to the level, when I have almost no joy without it. Since my new "diet" I was able to enjoy my "peak" for 9 days, and "detox" was also not so bad. Lets see how it will go later, since its still too early to say how much influence has placebo effect for my experience.
(PS I hope I posted that correctly, and within given topic ;) )

Sleep mode and hibernation are pure crap! Skip them whenever it's possible! If you won't be using your PC and don't wanna turn it off, block it with your password. That's all you need to do.

I would do that if someone else was using the PC too, but I might bring in a guest account thing later, just in case. Aside from the obvious, I resetted the PC, reinstalling the game I wanted to play before this whole thing happened while I was playing said game, and will have to reinstall all the RPG Makers I'll be using, at least. Other than that, everything's working quite well actually. Like, the majority of the setups I have were already on the PC's Downloads folder, as well as a folder in a different location. So I didn't lose any of my files, and I can easily reinstall some things, as well as Steam, Origin, Epic Games Launcher, etc.

I hereby rescind my endorsement of the musician Dibur.

I have my reasons.

I won't go into them, but he does not have my support anymore.

His music is being deleted from Destiny of End.

That's all I'll say about this.

Thank you.

I worked diligently this weekend to protect a member, a member currently being cyber-stalked.

No name will be given, but I will say that this member's owned topics and all of the members posts have been extracted from the forum and stored away. This with hopes of being able to re-introduce them back into the forum at a later time.

So if some threads bookmarked may have vanished, or the board seems a little smaller... there ya go.

Well this is a new problem I have, which was solved easily, kind of. My refrigerator got shot, in the fridge half at least. Gotta get a new one, which is on the way.

Just renewing my warning to people about Tunecore being a terrible copyright holder for video game music, because anyone who records a game with music run through Tunecore will get claimed instantly and get threatened with copyright strikes. Not recommended for video game composers to use them unless you want really angry people asking why you did.

If you do Youtube, you may have seen comments shortly after you upload a video asking "Wanna be friends?". The comments vary, but it's always a bot. Unfortunately, there isn't somebody showing up 30 seconds after your video uploaded trying to be your pal while saying the video was great.

People have claimed the botnet they are connected to hacks you if you interact with it, but there's really no proof, and nobody really has come up with any evidence that it hacks you. It may have been an elaborate hoax by one guy trying to gain clout, but it still has people talking, and the huge botnet that Youtube STILL hasn't shut down being possibly malicious is pretty convincing. There are theories that people who interact with them get their account spoofed as a new account, so it looks like them commenting on the youtuber's channel that controls all of the bots. It could make sense to have a script to make new spoof accounts, thus making it look like "Bobbert Coole Tortilla" is commenting "Nice video!" on a channel when it's not actually him. 

The bots all seem to converge to comment and like a single person's videos, but they also try to spread by commenting on peoples' videos to get them to interact. Not sure if he's banned by now, but thousands of bot accounts have been purged recently, and the channel who only uploaded 3 videos had almost 100,000 subscribers and tons of views on a channel trailer video. Not even a big channel gets many views on a channel trailer   

When you click on "Wanna be friends" account, oftentimes you get another bot account instead. You click on the name "Lilith" and the name of the account you get is "Stacy". Click on "Bob" and you get "Rocco". It's really weird, and nobody is entirely sure why it happens. Maybe it's an exploit some hacker somewhere figured out to get inside of Youtube? Not likely, but that's why I say it's probably an elaborate hoax. Somebody figured out exploits, but whether they're malignant or benign is still up in the air. Personally, I've seen huge channels subscribe to the bots and not get hacked. I've seen people on streams searching out these bots in front of everyone saying hello to each on peoples' new videos without repercussions! 

I just figured I'd mention it, because surprise surprise, I subscribe to some of you, and I've seen these comments on your videos, friends.   

So yeah, just be careful. Have 2-factor authentication on (Mobile apps like Authy are probably strongest), and be sure to keep passwords diversified. Block the bots when they come, and perhaps even ban the phrase "Wanna be friends?" from your channel.  Better safe than sorry.
