Make it 1998, I want to take another chance to make it to one of the Mechanical Animals tour shows 😂

And bladed weapons only — none of that hanky-janky firearm bullshit! 😈

Boring! The Senate should demand for him to give them one of his TESTIcules instead 🤭

@unspeaker
I was enjoying them as they were coming out and could give each more than a handful of listens — the old-school way to enjoy music: when there were no streaming services and you could only afford a new CD only every once in a while, but you could give it your full attention.

@unspeaker
The one with steel-tipped dove is good too, there is even a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZD3ciOeNW0
The song has funky cinematic and videogame references. This guy should be on Fedi, would fit right in 😂
But take your time of course, I think I got so addicted precisely because I had the opportunity to not spread my attention too thin.

@unspeaker
There's a video for Vox Machina, but it's nothing special, the song kinda speaks for itself.
Oh, I LOVE that record! It might sound, you know… non-anthemic, repetitive even, but then it starts giving you this psychedelic effect and it all… just flows, then you start noticing the highlights, amazing!
I recommend the follow up to it that I have already mentioned and this one: https://ajsuede.bandcamp.com/album/opta-mystic

@Hyolobrika
Or you can even bring up the local Node.js infrastructure and use it in Firefox.
You can do the same with Schildi and probably Fluffy too.

@Hyolobrika
This is a very valid concern! But has more to do with centralised systems and has little to do with Element, which you can self host — you can wrap it in Electron, I think they even provide you with it themselves and call it a desktop app. You can never update it (unless it stops working with your Matrix server of course 😆).

@robryk
Yes, that statement was indeed too broad, sorry!
I'm not sure that Yandex is exempt BTW, not versed enough in this topic to tell. They did have to split off the operations in Russia into a separate company and distance the main one from it, maybe they are affected by a different set of sanctions and have problems of their own coming 🤷

@kaia
You sound too careless for someone with anime pfp 😏

@unspeaker
But the best part was that the have released a follow-up to that collaboration right the next year. And it was just as good!
Now I dig everything he does, even if I don't like some release originally, it starts growing on me eventually — and he keeps cranking out like 4-5 of them every year. It's very rare for me to like the output of someone so prolific!
Sorry for highjacking your Homeboy Sandman thread 😋

@unspeaker
I'm not a vegetarian and maybe I just didn't like his song about beef 😜
From a later album, which is very good BTW.
In any case, he's very skilled — always a pleasure to listen to!

But right now I'm too hooked on AJ Suede. I found out about him when Fake Four made his album with Televangel available for free! In FLAC! 🤩
Check it out: https://fakefour.bandcamp.com/album/metatrons-cube
But he sounds "darker" and that might be not your thing, Homeboy Sandman sounds easygoing even when he touches serious topics 😄

@unspeaker
> from the album "Don't Feed The Monster"
Hm-m… For some reason that album sounded rather bland to me… 🤔
Maybe I should give it another spin! 😁

@voxel
…I'm not against using JS to enhance the browsing experience, but when I can't even read the text, a very basic thing really — that makes me sad.
safety.google does give you text in w3m — just checked, but websites that do not even try and just give you the "please enable JS" warning, such as crates.io, are pure evil IMO.
@leberschnitzel @protonprivacy

@voxel
In this case it kinda is. As someone who uses w3m to browse the web on a semi-regular basis, I can attest that a lot of websites work fine in such a browser. And it's not just a matter of being stubborn and keeping JS disabled — I sometimes use it on computers where starting Firefox might be heavy on the resources. Mind you.
@leberschnitzel @protonprivacy

@ackasaber@mathstodon.xyz
Normally a browser would detect that and refuse to connect giving you a warning or silently fail if such a host is only a source of scripts images, but as I have my own CA, all my computers have its cert installed, all the certificates I sign with it become trusted and it works 😁
It's just something that I realised today (well, yesterday in fact, before Durov got apprehended). There might be other caveats, I'm not a security researcher, otherwise I'd do a proper writeup.
@kravietz

@ackasaber@mathstodon.xyz
Well, Armenian company is unlikely to hold certificates issued to host names used by Telegram, with compromised CA you can do lots of interesting things. For example I hate ajax.googleapis.com so I've made a local mirror of it (you can use Decentraleyes or other such extensions, but why bother if you can have a more fundamental solution), of course I can't legitimately issue a certificate to a host name owned by Google, so it uses my own cert.
@kravietz

@robryk
It was on the news in 2022, e.g. here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/russia-creates-its-own-tls-certificate-authority-to-bypass-sanctions/
In Russia it's a well known fact, maybe not so much outside of it, hence my remark
Check out https://sberbank.ru/ for example, this is one of the biggest banks in Russia and their cert expired only just recently.
