The ocean of unknown documentaries & B movies getting no views shows how strictly the gootube has concentrated all views to the same thing.  


The Sailor is the most viewed one & is pretty good.  At age 80 he outlived his savings & said he never expected to live so long.  He died 3 years after the movie was made.  


He was well connected for a penniless old man.  Women would have nothing to do with someone like that in US but being known as a sailor does have some prestige.  




Funny that the political party which won by saying "all are welcome" & protesting Trump's border wall built a wall to keep out prostitutes.  Some of them are undercover cops so don't try anything.



The total revenue of the top 10 VPNs is around $100 million/year or enough to make several movies.  They claim to manely be used on phones rather than for pirating movies.  Having worked on a phone security accessory, there's some credibility to the idea of corporate IT departments requiring employees to use a VPN on their phones.  VPN's conceal the identity of the client, but not necessarily the content.

If everyone on the public internet moves to the same VPN, the risk becomes someone manetaining the VPN revealing the identity of the parties.

The lion kingdom's mane experience with VPN's are ones used for corporate intranets that don't work.

Nord VPN isn't the only one & it's 1 of the more expensive ones.  Lions have noted the price increases when you reload the page.  It seems to be cookie based.



Tactics like this make the VPN industry feel like a scam.  They all have 1 month plans for varying prices.

The next problem becomes forcing the bittorrent client to use the VPN while not affecting any other programs.  The easiest solution is using a dedicated confuser.  The most practical solution is using the VPN in a container.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
