I am a hobbyist security researcher, filterlist maintainer, and wannabe law nerd. I help maintain the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool. I post about a variety of topics including cybersecurity, content filtering, law, tech, and trans rights. This is also the best place to find updates on my filterlists, as I often post about bugs and improvements to them.
I am not an expert; do not take anything I toot as truth. Retoot/like != agreement. Not legal/medical advice.

Profile picture: truncated screenshot of a WINE error message. The error message is titled "Download failed". The message reads "Download Failed: Success. Check your connection and click 'Retry' to try downloading the files again, or click 'Next' to continue installing anyway." There is only one button labeled "OK".

Header image: A Windows error message against the default Windows wallpaper. The error message reads "Windows cannot find iam-py-test. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

i live on Payómkowishum land. What does it mean to acknowledge this? Where are the Payómkowishum? Is a relationship with them possible?

if i interact with you, its because i find you or what you post interesting, and want to be your friend. sometimes jokes dont land, or nuance is lost. we all deserve as much grace as can be given- at least until we are revealed to be monsters.
