2023.06.05 04:50 harry-jg How to Make Your VPN Undetectable and Avoid VPN Blocks

You've armed yourself with a VPN to guard your online exploits, making your browsing, streaming, and torrenting more elusive than Bigfoot himself. Thanks to your VPN's Fort Knox-level encryption, network overlords and ISPs are left scratching their heads, unable to spot which corners of the web you've been poking around in or what files you've been downloading. But there's one problem - they can still sense your VPN, like an invisible yet palpable phantom in the room. Lucky for us, there are several methods in the vault to make a VPN as undetectable as a needle in a haystack.
Scanning through the swathes of online advice on rendering your VPN undetectable is a bit like diving into a murky sea of misinformation, half-truths, and wild guesses. So, armed with a spirit of relentless curiosity, I donned my digital Sherlock Holmes hat and set out on a weeks-long fact-finding mission. My tools? Piles of articles, guides, and VPN support articles, numerous conversations with VPN customer service detectives, my personal expertise and experience, and multiple rounds of good ol' fashioned testing.
The result? This guide. Consider it a condensed field guide to making your VPN connection as elusive as a chameleon (well, to some extent). And because we're not half-baking things here, I've also included my personal recommendations for the top-tier VPNs that can deftly sidestep VPN detection and blockade like a pro.
The Art of Invisible VPNing: A Guide to the Why
Why would you want to render your VPN invisible, you might ask? Well, as much as I admire transparency, in the realm of VPNs, stealth pays off. Here's why.
In the case of a VPN block party - nations like China, Iran, and Indonesia have often been known to use their cutting-edge technology prowess to sniff out and thwart VPN connections. Even educational institutions and workplaces sometimes employ firewalls as bouncers, keeping VPNs at bay.
Secondly, who doesn't love a good streaming spree? Unfortunately, streaming sites often act like a suspicious bouncer, routinely rooting out and blocking VPN connections due to licensing red tape. But if you can make your VPN connection as invisible as a ghost, you could swan dive into your favorite shows from anywhere with a VPN.
Lastly, it's all about privacy, isn't it? Although your VPN's encryption acts like a cloak of invisibility, preventing your ISP from seeing your digital shenanigans, your ISP can still sense the presence of a VPN. Also, websites can sometimes recognize VPN IP addresses. In the name of privacy, some folks just prefer not to broadcast to their ISPs or visited sites that they're employing a VPN. After all, a good magician never reveals his secrets.
An Invisible Surfing Spree: Selecting the Right VPN
The most straightforward path around those pesky VPN detection dogs and firewall barricades is to employ a VPN that's adept at playing hide and seek. What you're really looking for is a VPN that changes its IP address as often as a chameleon changes color, expertly cloaks its VPN traffic, and offers an impressive suite of security and privacy features.
After sending several VPNs through a gauntlet of tests, I came to the conclusion that ExpressVPN should be your first port of call if you want to cruise the internet undetected — here's the evidence:
The master of disguise, ExpressVPN, seems to have a revolving door for IP addresses. During my test-run of its New York server, I noticed a different IP address each time, as if I was flipping through a book of random digits. The prowess of ExpressVPN is further demonstrated by its ability to grant you access to top-tier streaming platforms and its seamless operation even in countries with internet restrictions tighter than a tick.
Also, it supports Tor over VPN connections, adding another layer of camouflage to your VPN's IP address.
Your data and privacy are guarded like crown jewels with its no-logs policy and a suite of advanced security features, including robust leak protection, all backed up by audits.
Shuffling the Deck: Switching Your VPN’s IP Address
When a streaming giant or network sleuth has put your VPN's IP address on the blacklist, you'll need to give your VPN server's IP a makeover to sidestep this little roadblock. The most straightforward approach? Simply reconnect to the VPN server or waltz over to a different VPN server.
Certain VPNs come with in-built tools that permit you to shuffle the server's IP address like a deck of cards. Others, with a flair for automation, do the reshuffling for you — unobtrusively changing the IP address while you're sailing through the VPN server, akin to a magician who never reveals his tricks. Take VyprVPN for example, it has a trick up its sleeve known as the Chameleon protocol. This obfuscation tool is a master of disguise, seamlessly changing your IP address mid-journey without as much as a hiccup in your VPN connection.
Musical Chairs: Juggling Your VPN Protocol
Sometimes, in a land of restrictions and watchful network overseers, certain VPN protocols can be halted in their tracks if the ports they love to party in are shut down. They can also be outed and barred by a savvy bouncer known as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). Your ticket out of this restrictive soiree is a simple protocol switcheroo.
If you find yourself grappling with port blocks, OpenVPN or WireGuard could be your new best pals. Should their default stomping grounds be barred, you can manually shepherd them to a different port — a tour WireGuard is prepared for with thousands of options, and OpenVPN is not far behind. Some VIPs on the VPN scene, such as ExpressVPN and PrivateVPN, have taken it a step further. They've programmed these protocols to play nice with ports that are hard to put in lockdown, saving you the hassle of handpicking a port. Quite the lifesaver if you're new to the shindig.
Playing Hide-and-Seek with Your VPN
Obfuscation, or as I like to call it, the "VPN invisibility cloak", wraps your VPN traffic in an extra layer of encryption, making it appear as unassuming as your run-of-the-mill internet traffic. It's your best defense against the ever-probing eye of DPI detection and blockade.
While a fair share of VPNs come with access to protocols that are masters of disguise, a select few have a built-in obfuscation feature that doesn't require them to borrow from the protocols they use. TunnelBear, for example, has its GhostBear feature, and PrivateVPN boasts StealthVPN. Activate these tools, and your VPN data magically transforms into regular, everyday internet traffic. Abracadabra, your online activities have just pulled a Houdini!
Opening the 443 Doorway: A Sneak into Internet Autobahn
If VPN-related ports seem like they are sealed tighter than a sous-vide bag, it's high time you make a run for TCP port 443. This magical portal is the very same used by HTTPS traffic, which pretty much is the main freeway for most of our internet travels. If an ISP or network overlord dared to barricade this gateway, they might as well bid adieu to all websites that use HTTPS – say, those tiny, irrelevant sites like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and YouTube. Imagine the uproar!
However, this precious TCP port 443 is only compatible with a select few VPN protocols:
OpenVPN, the people's champion of protocols for its robust security, is one of them. Some VPN providers like Private Internet Access let you pick TCP port 443 when you’re feeling the OpenVPN groove. Others, like ExpressVPN, streamline the process, automatically pairing OpenVPN with TCP port 443.
SSTP, a protocol not as widely embraced, uses TCP port 443 by default. But it's hard to find, tucked away in the menus of only a few VPN providers like IPVanish.
Then, there's SoftEther. This protocol is like the unicorn of VPN services - you hear of it, but you barely see it, primarily because it's as tricky to integrate into the VPN client as untangling your headphones after they've been in your pocket.
The High-Roller IP: A Reserved Seat in the VPN Concert
In the world of VPNs, shared IP addresses are the norm, akin to the nosebleed section in a concert - you share the space (or IP in our case) with a gaggle of other VPN users. But what if you fancied a front-row experience? Enter: the dedicated IP address. This VIP seat, exclusive to you, ensures that you don't share the IP spotlight with anyone else. It's like renting your own private island in the vast VPN sea.
Should you opt for a dedicated IP, streaming sites might struggle to detect your VPN connection. Picture this: instead of identifying a mob of 100+ people logging in from the same IP address (quite the red flag for shared IPs), websites would witness only a lone user logging in. Less conspicuous, less likely to be flagged and blocked.
If a dedicated IP address whets your appetite, Private Internet Access and CyberGhost VPN are solid options. They both roll out the red carpet of dedicated IPs for a nominal additional fee. For those of you scrimping, PrivateVPN is a sensible choice, providing free access to dedicated IP addresses.
Moreover, some VPNs, such as TorGuard, even offer dedicated residential IP addresses, the crème de la crème of detectability. These IPs belong to residential ISPs rather than data centers, making them appear as regular internet users to anyone scrutinizing these IPs. However, fair warning, TorGuard’s VPN plans tend to be on the pricier side. It's akin to paying for box seats at the opera, not exactly penny-pinching.
The Tor-tuous Trail: A VPN Voyage to the Dark Side
Tor, a cloak-and-dagger network that grants passage to the infamous dark web, is like a secret labyrinth. It leads your traffic through multiple servers, engaging in some digital masquerade, frequently changing your IP and encrypting your traffic repeatedly. The best part? It’s like a secret society with no membership fee. Simply download and install the Tor browser and you have a ticket to the Tor network.
Here's a trick up the sleeve: you can snake a Tor connection through a VPN connection. This nifty move ensures internet and dark web hotspots are none the wiser about your VPN IP address. The VPN connection, draped in several layers of Tor encryption, would be harder to detect than a chameleon on a Jackson Pollock painting. In essence, your connection path looks a bit like this:
You, then VPN, then Tor Server #1, Tor Server #2, Tor Server #3, and finally, the Dark Web.
Several top-shelf VPNs support the Tor over VPN connection, with ExpressVPN garnering my personal favor due to its impressively quick speeds. Because let's face it, Tor over VPN connections often move at the pace of a snail riding a turtle. Proton VPN also deserves an honorable mention, boasting servers in 7 countries that automatically route your traffic through the Tor network. This unique setup lets you access dark web sites with pedestrian browsers like Chrome and Firefox — no need to whip out the Tor browser.
Playing Hooky with your VPN: A Cellular Strategy
You know how workplaces and institutions of learning morph into fun sponges with their stringent anti-VPN rules on their networks? And getting caught using one can earn you an unceremonious trip to the principal's office or worse.
In such a tricky situation, it's time to tap into the untamed frontier of mobile data. By flipping the switch to your cellular data, you're using the network of your telecommunications provider instead of the school or company's network. It's like swapping the 'schooled' network's version of domesticated, house-trained internet for the wild, VPN-friendly terrain of mobile data.

2023.06.05 04:35 Disastrous_Pitch4732 Bad first highschool impression

Back when I entered highschool I was introduced to a whatsapp group alongside with all my new classmates which i didn't knew. For some reasons I thought that if I send a dead meme and say "hello chat" I would make a decent impression but ended up getting the "😐" treatment. I knew the meme was dead and not even funny to begin with, it was like the first photo I found in my gallery. I felt embarrassed but still managed to make a good impression of myself over time, as I took a shy path, maybe some see me as a really basic person which i don't really care. I still think about this moment time to time, coping that it isn't a huge deal which in reality it really isn't but it was my first impression which might've put a bad spot on me. This whole post probably shouldn't even be on this subreddit, compared to other posts this is surely nothing but I just wanted to get this off my chest. The only attribute from this event is that my humour has evolved since then. I also feel embarrassed typing this as it's just a meme, I really shouldn't matter that much but living in an Eastern European country is crazy, hope that my English is somewhat understandable.

2023.06.05 04:23 Superb-Confidence-69 Peening at base of barrel extension lugs. 700ish rounds. What do you guys think? Factory colt ar-15a4

Peening at base of barrel extension lugs. 700ish rounds. What do you guys think? Factory colt ar-15a4
No function issues at all. 700+ rounds (probably a lot more but I’m not tracking very well) this is a factory made fairly new colt ar-15a4. At the base of the barrel extension lugs I’m seeing some peening and wear. The bolt looks to have a slight amount of rear lug wear but not what I would consider out of normal.
What are your thoughts? Tolerance stacking? Barrel misalignment? Bolt cam groove play?
Keep shooting are take to gunsmith?

2023.06.05 04:22 uppitynerd Is it okay to only be a post Good News for People That Love Bad News MM Fan?

I’ve always wondered that when it came to the MM hardcore fans.
Like a lot of people Float On is where I discovered the band, I tried to get in their earlier stuff but I wasnt a big fan, but have loved everything since. Granted GNFPTLBN came out 20 years ago, but I remember the memes of different band t-shirts and one says “New” Modest Mouse, and even had a friend or two crappy on me for it. Is this still a thing?

2023.06.05 04:13 Iworkformycat27 90-Day Fiance: Before the 90-Days, Moonstruck, An Episode Review

In Sharp Entertainemnt’s latest prod-uction, the only show with less self-control and more unrequited trauma than Gary Busey with a flamethrower, 90-Day Fiance: Before the 90-Days, we see our protagonists, introducing themselves to the world, and making a tri-, a return, will their love last, is it real, or, wait, are they talking to this person?
Amanda and Razvan
Amanda is a widow, her husband died of cancer, her children are half-orphans- and she is dating a year after losing her husband, she is fine, she is ready. Does Sharp Entertainment take Shriners Kids to bars and give them Cocaine because that’s what this, the death stuff is very sad, and the children but this.
Did Matt Sharp murder somebody, they are really trying to distract us with sympathy, you sociopath, the children's tears, I know, I know, but do you trust this, from Sharp Entertainment? I trust a raccoon in a whorehouse more than I do Sharp Entertainment eliciting sympathy.
Oh, they met on TikTok well, that, see, and he’s an actor and model, actors and models have a great track record, roll that beautiful disaster footage! Yep, they’re going to- stop beating up on a widow, I’m not, I’m beating up on the world.
Amanda goes to get a spray tan so she doesn’t get off the plane and look like a ghost, which honestly is a good idea, people kill ghosts in Romania, they are vampires. Amanda’s sister is also smart, she thinks Amanda is moving too fast and this relationship is a trainwreck, they are no Jack and Sally. She’s just trying to cover a void- she is totally being a Darcey, which makes her- where is her Florian? Is he also a wealth of wisdom and memes?
Amanda takes her two children to the park, to ignore them like Darcey, Aniko is currently climbing the trees with raccoons, her true family, mother abandoned me for two weeks, look that one is going for three, when are we going to raid a dumpster and film it for a Tiktok?
Amanda calls Ravan, and he has big romantic plans- that include shooting his music video, for his song, about her, also he did a porn, how many 90-Day Fiance Bingo categories does this cover?
Not David Murphey: Bawkawk!
Cultural Appropriation Crickets: My board needs to go to rehab.
Not David Murphey: Bawakawk!
Cultural Appropriation Crickets: Jump on that square, we need that toaster.
Signature bathtub toaster, enjoy breakfast and bathing in the most popular room- Natalie Wood commemorative life raft.
Cultural Appropriation Crickets: Come on Possessed Nespresso Machine!
Amanda buys her children some presents to bribe-
Not David Murphey: Bawkwak!
Cortney: What’s an asexual vibrator?
Amanda’s children have questions, along with the dad box which is a touching gesture but might become a meme, if it was the mom box it would be…mother boxes would be worse, trust me. Do they bring it everywhere? When they’re teenagers and, doing activities will they still have the dad box around? Serious question, I miss grandma but I don’t have a grandma box that I take into the bathroom with me, you’d be so proud of me grandpa, I had Taco Bell, I’m losing 10 pounds, so anyway how was your day?
Still dead? You’ve gotta get out more.
Gino and Jasmine
Jasmine has needs- $350 needs, $1750, Gino isn’t a gift guy but he likes sex. Which sex slave did these extensions come off of? That’s not funny, you’re right, it’s probably true. Want to know where the sparkles come from in makeup? Child labor. I’m sorry, I don’t know why I said that, I, people need to have real problems man. If Darcey enlisted in the army she would grow as a person.
Gino is going to go visit Jasmine in Panama, and show off his new clothes, and hats, and argue about sex and money. That Jasmine is spending at the doctor, for a tighter p****, did you know that Gino also has sex problems doctor? I’m going to tell the world about it! I’d like to teach Gino to c**, inside of me! This trip is their last chance, to get a pay raise, plastic surgery isn’t cheap. Is my rose chilled yet?
She’s getting drunk and doing a 90-Day Fiance review? Trust me, most people do. Most people also work, which upsets Jasmine, because she can’t talk to Gino as much, and spy on him, and hear his lies of approval, why won’t the US government let them be together?
Do they not believe in our love, or did Gino, who did the Visa Application by himself- Jasmine’s not stupid that might be it, she deserves a nice apartment, with their own bedroom, for sex, which starts a really sexy argument about fighting, and sex, and- I understand why the US Government doesn’t want them to be together.
This rose was not chilled yet, if you want to get drunk with me I am drinking Love Drunk Rose by Garage D’Or, Oregone, “When reality is better than your dreams!”, it’s quite good and very appropriate for the occasion.
Jasmine meets her totally platonic friend Dane at Coffee Max, she surprises him with the news that she’s hsi new neighbor, also, they used to date, you can’t bring enough autistic neurodivergent trans women into this to make this- might have just spoiled something for you, the violin is growing.
Jasmine and Gino’s trust issues definitely won’t- flash forwards to my favorite promo, it’ll be fine, if not, Dane and his muscular, good advice, is here, for you, in the same apartment building.
Riley and Violet
Riley is a big Jazz fan, and Elton John, also, he’s an elderly Luke Cage, who can’t dance, and is paranoid about life! Which is understandable given his history, is Elton John single? He’s very pretty, and rich. Is Riley the problem? A woman literally ran away from him.
Riley specifically downloaded a Vietnamese dating app, and found the youngest looking 43 year old woman in the world. Who is also smart, and clever, and so good Riley learned SOME Vietnamese, also, if you flip on your woman in Vietnam that means you love her, this is fine. Violet understands him.
Riley goes to help his friends with their Juneteenth celebration, where they will.
A Bless this relationship
B Sit around a campfire and sing Kumbaya
C Sell some Boombod
D Doubt this entire relationship and bring up evidence supporting their case
Did you pick D? How did you know, he’s bringing a ring, are they done doubting this, no, Violet does sound a little sus, they might- are they having food? God I love cornbread, it’s better to learn that your fiance is Evil Rose over cornbread. My grandma could die, again, but if you told me that over Honey Cake, I, I might be a sociopath, or hungry.
Tyray and Carmella
Is he playing an instrument and singing, this is his first, oh no, at least he isn’t on a boat. Tyray take care of his sick mother, his father was murdered- how many people did Matt Sharp kill? When will the tables turn on this one? Tyray is in love with Carmella, a woman who is real, whose face he has- the table just yeeted itself into a wall, yep, this, and his family doesn’t-
Satan: When did we get train tracks?
When- dodge! Ah, there it, I can’t stop looking at it, is that a car? No, that was Not David Murphey’s Taco Bell dinner- who gave him Taco Bell?
The producers also have bad news, and they tell Tyray in person, which-
Archangel Gabriel: Let me the f*** in your house!
Get off my lawn!
Archangel Gabriel: You are witnessing a miracle, one of your solar-powered lights is out.
Tyray has been messaging a man. So that’s-
Archangel Gabriel: I’m watering your flowers, you’re welcome!
This is going to be fun next week.
David and Sheila
A deaf guy, Matt Sharp is just a serial killer now, and he has multiple minimum-wage jobs? Subbed anime is really the best. Boarding school, and not being able to connect with people- is David Matt Sharp’s accomplice? There’s the music, here comes the wom- nope, it’s his ex-wah-man, here comes the new one, who is learning sign language!
What a- and he’s sending her money, which she does need, and $3,000 isn’t much, Caesar pocket change. But someone has to be suspicious.
I give this episode ⅘ stars, the highlight was Gino and Jasmine sticking to the traditional script, they’re not doing any of this sympathy bullshit, no, they, how many people did Matt Sharp murder? More representation and tragedy is coming next week, was Matt Sharp Jack the Ripper?
At least they'll start arguing next week, the one thing they’re supposed to be doing, and bangin’, that is also, sometimes it’s their job. Is that possessed Nespresso machine still up there? I never go swimming, I wouldn’t use the life raft.

Its been a little while since i've done one of these...and its june now...
So you know what that means....
* Schools out and theres sort of a buzz...but right now im not sure what it really was....
*
Some important housekeeping items
First If you make a post and are a new redditor, we have a robot that doesnt like new accounts, so if you are posting and your not 24 hours old, chances are your post gets deleted auto-magically. Try again after that 24 hours, just to get jiggy wit it. This helps to fight fake accounts and spam bots
Secondly, just as a reminder and to also find out who reads these megathreads as well. The first monday of this month, is MEME MONDAY. Keep it clean, keep it game collecting (or gaming in general). Any other time you all see a meme outside of this first monday, please report that. I like them just as much as you do, but trying to keep things on topic the other days of the month.
*
Remember the rules, which can be found here. <--- clickable link... try it if you are confused or unsure of something. Video posts arent really allowed (pointing that out as we have had a few lately trying to skirt the rules) so if you think yours should be, message us via modmail. As for the rest of the rules, if you dont know them, go check them out. Kinda important as we reference them when people misbehave.
Why a megathread? Its to help keep the sub from being cluttered with questions. So ask your questions here. Make a comment that wouldn’t normally be posted in the sub otherwise. Have some fun. Might wanna start getting consoles dusted off for summer heat waves, weather is changing in the US at least, and summertime fast approaches.
*
Every moment frontin' and maxin' Chillin' on a game they spent all day maxin'

2023.06.05 03:48 IAmTheHypeTFS Between The Folds Part 14

The next few days, or periods of time that equated to days in this realm that had no such cycles, passed uneventfully. This made the goddess suspicious as it was unlike Tarkus not to directly kick up a fuss about the humiliation he'd suffered as well as the fact that her children had entered the divine realm.
She was sure he was plotting something, or rather someone else was doing the plotting for him. Saying the god's head was filled with nothing but sand would be an insult to sand, the man only knew brute force and conflict. If she had to wager a guess it would be the goddess Hepra of the Silorix, a race of serpentine aliens who could use pheromones and their silver tongues to manipulate situations in their favor.
Honestly, Gaia hated engaging in stereotype, but she couldn't help it if the snake-like aliens and their goddess were snake oil salesmen...literally, at one point in their history they had genuinely tried to sell off their own body oils. Actually, if she recalled correctly there was still a niche market for the stuff, but she hadn't kept any kind of close tabs on the race, both out of disinterest and because their children hadn't had much interaction with each other.
Humans were distrustful of a race who could potentially alter their thinking without their knowledge or consent and despite all assurances had chosen to limit their contact with the species until they could develop a counteractive agent to their pheromone control. There was apparently quite some interest in this potential product from other races who always seemed to be on the losing end of negotiations with the Silorix.
Naturally the Silorix and their goddess did not hold the greatest impression of humanity after that and, while not openly hostile, Gaia would have been a fool not to notice the steadily building animosity aimed at her.
Their contacts on the other side had been in touch a few times, speaking to Gaia through their prayers and providing updates on their progress. They had a lead on a possible route home and they had gotten the idea from her own description of how they had entered her realm in the first place.
As she had explained, normally the fabric of space is solid and the inhabitants of a plane can only move across its surface, but when the humans had folded it, they had made it malleable enough to pierce. That much was obvious, but the scientists had posed a question. Even if the space-folding technology was no longer active and space had been restored to its original state, separating the Piercer from the mortal plane...was the hole they had made still there?
Calculations had to be done on their end, but as someone much more sensitive to the nature of the universe and considerably more powerful, they had asked if she could use whatever divine methods were at her disposal to see if she could detect the presence of the theoretical spatial tear.
Concerned as she was about the lack of response to her children's arrival, this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Since the Piercer had entered the realm nearer to the domains of the other gods, she could check for the tear and try to obtain news on the movements of the other gods, namely Tarkus, Hepra, and their ilk.
Respect, fear, and resentment. She could feel the stares containing some mixture of all three whenever she ventured outside of her domain and they were one of the reasons she rarely left. Her power was such that respect had to be given and when angered enough to wield it fear was the only response, but the resentment she sensed had been growing for eons now.
They didn't understand how they weren't more powerful than her yet, after extending their reach so far into the mortal plane and drinking in the power of worship for so long. What made it so that she could keep pace with them when she had never done the same? How could this borderline isolationist goddess be so powerful when she neglected the only known route to that power?
And now the resentment had reached a new peak, she could feel it in their gazes as she ventured out to see if the tear her children had emerged from still existed. They could sense the power of worship about her, faint as it was, and she smiled lightly as she felt the brief flashes of undisguised fear before their owners managed to conceal their feelings.
Before she was a threat, but one that held no interest in their endeavors and offered no opposition to their machinations in the mortal plane. But what about now?
"If you're going to stare, you might as well do it openly, don't you think?"
Her sudden words caused a myriad of nearby presences to vanish one after another until a single deity remained to reveal themselves. A small frown of immediate annoyance tugged at the corners of Gaia's mouth as her gaze fell upon an serpentine woman clad in nothing but gold and precious jewels.
"Hello, Hepra, pray tell what are you scheming this time?"

----------------------------------------------- Hey-o, Hype here
Sorry if it feels a bit rough or disjointed, just trying to get back into the groove of things. Bit difficult picking up again after a long absence but this is still very much a story I want to see to it's conclusion.~
Love y'all 3000

2023.06.05 03:38 hustlebird r/caps will be going dark on June 12th until ??? in protest of Reddit's threat to kill 3rd party apps

A bit of Copy/Paste below which lays out whats happening. If you need somewhere to go during this time check out the Caps Fans Discord

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?
  1. Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
  2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord.
  3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
  4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

edit: Open Letter regarding API pricing
While this sub is generally not friendly to external issues, the decision reddit has made impacts every user, even those that don't use third party apps. There are multiple ways reddit should have handled this that wouldn't.
As such, if they carry through on their decision, the sub will be shuttered from the day it takes effect on top of the protest. Between now and that time, I will go through the process of finding and bringing on new mods, as I refuse to work for free for a company that behaves in this manner. Once a mod team is in place after that, it will be their choice when the sub re-opens.
In this thread, feel free to nominate anyone you think would make a good mod. Be aware that the process of vetting will involve a deep dive into the user history if they accept a nomination. I have no plans to leave the sub in random hands, I love this place.
If noone is nominated, I will create a new thread for anyone that wishes to volunteer directly.

2023.06.05 03:03 dough_joe Refinish or Replace Wood Floors

We are in the process of remodeling and building an addition to a home that has what we think are red oak floors that are at least 60 years old. It is definitely tongue and groove laid on top of a subfloor. In general, it seems like it's in good condition, but we’re not experts. Here are a few photos for reference.
Anyways, we will have to lace in some parts of the existing floor to fix damaged sections or places we're taking down walls. Beyond that, the addition is 800sqft which will obviously need new material. We’ve generally assumed the cost to refinish plus buying new material would make replacing the whole floor make more sense. Again, not really based on any practical experience.
We just got a quote back for an engineered wood option for about $40K for the entire 2.3k sqft. I’m not sure what we expected, but it’s enough to consider refinishing the current floor again.
So, I’m really just trying to get a sense of two things:
  1. Do the floors seem like they are in good enough condition to refinish?
  2. Will refinishing and buying new material be any cheaper (in general)?
Any feedback and thoughts are super helpful!

2023.06.05 03:02 Robotguy39 We’re going dark June 12th

Reddit making stupid financial decisions and killing their platform is nothing new, we’ve all been through this before. We’re going dark June 12th for a bit. Though if I’m being perfectly honest you guys probably won’t notice the difference since posts almost never actually go through anyway. Admins don’t know that though. Anyway I’m not writing the whole fucking post out so I just stole this from bestof, same thing. Anyway. Love ya, see you in a bit. Unless reddit goes through with these changes. In which case I’ll stop using reddit. Anyway that’s all I’m writing, here’s the reasoning and shit:
What’s going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you’re not a mobile user and don’t use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn’t only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
What’s the plan?
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren’t able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn’t something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn’t the goal, and it isn’t the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they’ve broken, we’ll use the community and buzz we’ve built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?
1. Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post. 2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord. 3. Boycott and spread the word…to Reddit’s competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support! 4. Don’t be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

2023.06.05 02:58 BreakingTheIce73 Sugar Daddy for Sugar Baby in Louisiana (Open to Arkansas, Mississippi, or Texas)

Clarification Note

- This is a new post format I am trying out on different platforms.
- I am going to be more direct in this post, that said if you do not fit the criteria in my post please do not contact me unless you're seeking friendship.
- I am interested in a sugaring dynamic added to BDSM, this takes time. If you want a buyer or a John please avoid me.
- If you're out of country, refer to the first note.

Special Note
It's Sunday. If you're still hung over, and or still going to have your fun take care of yourself - eat some protein and drink plenty of water. If you have an extreme headache and over the counter meds aren't helping and you're still wanting to be a masochist cayenne pepper mixed with warm water will do the trick. Aside from that, if you do not read this entire post I'll know.

Side Note
If you're curious to get to know me, just ask.

All about what I am looking for and offer

- Age range 18 - 28.
- Good Hygiene, you can take care of yourself mentally and physically.
- CIS Female
- Body Type Preference: Slim/Petite to average and or curvy.
- Switches, Switchtastic times are the best times. Slaves, littles, and subs are nice as well though.
- Positive influence, that goes both ways in expectancy.
- Conversation, if you hit me with the ole buy meh nudes I will meme you. If you hit me with with the ole Daddy comment imma hit you with the worst site I can think of which is currently omegle.
- Gamers - preferably a female but if you're a guy and do competitive gaming I am open to a mutually beneficial arrangement in the realm of gaming.
- You're in Louisiana, yes this unfortunately dead state it seems. But if you're in the surrounding states I am open to it.
- Adrenaline junkie - We only have one life, might as well test it a little by zip lining or jumping out of a plane together.
- An Adult, if you've attempted to meet and or have met someone from here or other platforms you know what I am speaking of.
- BDSM, be into it and or open to being guided in it.
- Kinky Oranges, this better be in your first message to me.

Dynamics I align with best
Equal Ownership
Master to slave
Daddy to little
Owner to pet
Care Giver to little

Payment Methods I work with
- Google pay (primary option)
- Amazon Wish List (secondary only, meant for gifts)
- Gift Cards (secondary only, meant for gifts)
- The Dollar (because reddit doesn't like the C word for some reason) (primary option)
- Ko-fi's site (primary option)
- CA (primary option)
- Open to other alternatives if asked.

How my arrangement works
This is meant to be long term, it's going to take time to establish a connection and trust. If you're expecting to talk to me for 2 hours and get 400$ it's not going to happen. Ironically, I was scammed last month out of a starting trial period with a real person for 400$ after speaking to that person for two weeks. I don't always take two weeks to get to know someone but it depends on the vibes. For additional context, I believe this platform does not like the discussion of allowances in post so I will be omitting the allowance amounts from all stages.

Consideration
Where you and I will be when you decide to reach out to me. We'll get to know the other from our vanilla life to our experience in the kink life, learning of the others limitations and interest. At some point I am going to prompt us both to do a SFW verification via call and or picture exchange. Silverware is a thing so don't be surprised if I prompt for something random. I will likely prompt for at least 1 - 2 calls, if we mesh then we mesh. If we don't then we can agree for friendship or parting ways.

If in Louisiana - The above will take place first, then an initial meet to a restaurant will be prompted. I will cover all expenses, and if needed support travel. If we mesh we mesh, if we do not mesh we can part ways and or maintain a friendship.
Trial
In this stage, we've agreed we mesh in chemistry and wish to push forward.
This is a two week trial. In this trial a light core dynamic will begin, I will take on the Dominant role regardless if you're a switch or not. I expect moderate time to be given while we continue to engage with the other. This will include a bare basic rule system to give a glimpse of interest in real time, light NSFW play, and establishing further trust in the other.

If in Louisiana - The above will likely be online. Meets to restaurants and or events will be expected. This is SFW.

Training
In this stage, we've agreed we still mesh in kink and chemistry and wish to push forward.
This will continue into a two week allowance arrangement with occasional gifts. The allowance will be raised from the trial period. This stage will consist through a time span of 2 - 6 months. I will maintain the Dominant role at least for the start dependent on our interest for dynamics. This will be a true start to a generic Dom / sub dynamic that will merge into others as time passes with moderate rules and guidance both in kink and your life as I wish to push you toward your goals. NFSW and SFW.

If in Louisiana - I do expect regular meets which will be determined together, it will be SFW and NSFW for scene play and or sessions along with outtings. Sadistic Pineapples better be in your first message.

If out of state - Semi regular to regular meets are expected. Travel will be covered. First meet will be SFW if you are uncomfortable for anything beyond.

Formal
We've established that we're both in it for the long run. We will either maintain two week allowance periods or weekly allowance periods dependent on what we're looking for. Gifts are regular. A true formality collar is introduced, if you're interested I also have a role play based BDSM contract. A true dynamic will be established between us with my full list of rules, guidance and scene play.

2023.06.05 02:58 Cult_ureS Is there a new Bro meme?

I've noticed on YouTube over the last 1-2 weeks that like every other comment starts with "Bro" like "Bro really thought that..."
I've noticed it on reddit too.
On YouTube it seems like all the comments are making the same "Bro really thought" or "Bro was really tryin" joke. Maybe an uptick in bots...?
Is there a bro meme/trend or did I just get hit with the Baader–Meinhof?

2023.06.05 02:57 imadethisfordirtyr4r 28 [M4F] #Texas - Attractive, sexy-voiced daddy dom seeks long term sub and play partner

TL;DR: Single dom seeks single sub for a relationship with greater depth than just sexual compatibility. (If you're not in Texas, I'm still open to chatting).
Are you tired of scrolling endlessly through horny reddit posts and not finding what you're looking for? Maybe you, like me, have realized that while short-term pleasure is satisfying in the moment, a relationship built on actual human connection is much more fulfilling. If you have, we may be the ones we've been looking for.
About me: Physically, I'm 28, am handsome and have a nice voice, 6' 230lbs, stocky/muscular build, currently rocking the dad stache™.
Other deets: I'm a pretty easygoing guy, open to talking/meeting with chill people for good times of all sorts. I'm confident but make an effort to be kind.
I have a fairly varied spread of interests: reading, writing, cooking, travel, music, movies, sports, tech, outdoors, lifting, etc etc. I read a ton of articles about random shit as well; I like to keep an open mind. Down to share music if you're up for that! I love connecting with someone over music we both really like.
NSFW deets: I'm definitely a daddy dom, and I'm looking for someone for a dd/lg relationship. I'm very good at dirty talk and I like having my instructions followed during voice and video calls with my sub. Some of my kinks include free use, CNC, breeding, spanking, anal play, degradation, edging/denial, bondage, and discreet public play. Limits include: permanent harm, weapons, or any bathroom stuff.
What I'm looking for: I'm looking for someone intelligent, kind, curious, compassionate, and mature. Someone unafraid to be vulnerable enough to connect with another person. I'm not looking for any specific ethnicity or aesthetic, but I am looking for someone who is at least hwp, and ideally fit and/or into fitness of some sort.
Ideally we'll be close enough to meet at least semi-regularly, but even if things are solely online I'd like to chat during the day, sending memes and music and discussing random things until one of us feels like getting frisky.
If you're just interested in a one-time thing, that's fine too so long as you're open with your intentions, but hopefully both of us will be interested in something ongoing as well.
As far as drug use, I rarely drink but get a little high fairly often. I'd prefer you didn't smoke cigarettes, but other than that idgaf what substances you use so long as you're not using any hard stuff.
I'm down to talk, exchange pics, and see how we like each other. I enjoy good conversation and good company. If you're new to BDSM and kink in general, I don't mind taking the lead either.
Reach out if what I'm looking for sounds like what you're looking for too, and tell me a little about yourself and about what attracted you to my post!I'm not looking for any specific ethnicity or aesthetic. I am looking for someone who is at least hwp, but ideally fit and/or into fitness of some sort.
