Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

This shit is always so cringe. I am a fairly powerful STEM wizard who works in a cyber security adjacent field, and has an original dissertation in the area, and there no reason to fear tech as long as you operate it with a proper trust and threat framework. All of these posts just feel like dumb pop-security peacocking.

Like, I have a keypad door lock because I lose my keys a lot and I hate carrying shit around in my pocket. I can explicitly manage guest access in a much more granular way and I don't need to have five different physical keys floating around for different people who might need them. Sure, someone could hack my lock. They could also break the window. My threat profile doesn't really involve state actors hacking my lock. But my trust profile involves needing to manage access to my home in a way which makes a cloud connected lock extremely useful and significantly more secure than handing out keys.
