most people don't realize what is xcancel really is. It's just a nitter style front end for X, lets you view tweets without an account and without the tracking scripts.
Been using it a few weeks now, no login, no JS fingerprinting that I could detect. If you're wondering what is xcancel is doing under the hood, it's basically serving cached public data while stripping out the tracking layer. Anyone else noticing it get slower during US peak hours or is that just me?

I've been working toward a planche push up for a few months, been training on parallettes 4 times a week with tuck holds, pseudo planche push ups, and bands. My strength is going up, but every attempt falls apart when I get near the bottom. Filmed myself today and my form looked way worse than it felt. Am I missing something, or does everyone struggle with the same planche push up sticking point at first?

im reading about old TV actors and I came across the Dirk Rambo car accident. I expected there to be a lot more information, but almost every article says the same thing. It surprised me how little discussion there is considering how often classic TV history gets revisited. Did I miss a good documentary or interview about the Dirk Rambo car accident, or is there just not much out there?

I bought a few RFID tag products to organize my work badge and keys, i tested Android with NFC, USB RFID reader and 4 different RFID tag models. one RFID tag stopped reading after a week, phone detected some tags that the USB reader didn't, compatibility was much more inconsistent than I expected

Is this normal, or is there a reliable RFID tag youd recommend?

I had appointments with a few different specialists this year. While looking into health information exchange, I realized not every clinic seems to share records the same way. I've had to fill out the same medical history more than once even though I thought a health information exchange would prevent that. I'm probably overthinking it, but it's confusing.

For those who have dealt with this, how much does health information exchange actually help patients, and is there anything you can do if one provider doesn't participate?

Started rewatching a few older BB seasons and some are way more entertaining than recent ones. Which season would you tell someone to watch first?

digga, nach der WM 2026 redet jeder wieder über Haaland. Erst schießt er Norwegen bis ins Viertelfinale und dann liest du wieder was über das haaland gehalt. Rund 600.000 Euro pro Woche... komplett absurd.

Und dann fällt dir wieder ein, dass Dortmund den damals für 60 Mio. ziehen lassen musste. Klar, damals war's wahrscheinlich der richtige Deal, aber im Nachhinein ist das schon verrückt.

Macht euch das noch fertig oder habt ihr euch längst dran gewöhnt? 😅

I have been looking for anti inflammatory breakfast ideas that don't take much time before work.

I've tried oatmeal, greek yogurt with berries, and eggs, but I'm looking for more options. What are your favorite anti inflammatory breakfast ideas that are quick and keep you full?

I've been thinking about getting a smart ring mainly to keep an eye on stress and recovery rather than fitness. If you've been wearing one for a while, has the stress data actually helped you change any habits, or do you mostly ignore it after the first few weeks?

I've been reading ryze mushroom coffee reviews because I'm thinking of trying it instead of my usual coffee.

The ryze mushroom coffee reviews are all over the place. Some people swear by it, others say it's overpriced and does nothing.

If you've actually used it,what was your experience??

I have been trying to learn how to check for ticks after hiking with my dog.

I usually check his ears, neck, paws, and under his collar, but I'm worried I'm still missing something. Is there a better way how to check for ticks routine, especially for dogs with thicker coats?

I've been going back and forth on this for two weeks and finally decided to just ask.
I got an Oura Ring Gen 3 recently and I cannot figure out which finger is actually correct. The app suggested my middle finger based on sizing, but I keep reading that the best finger to wear Oura Ring on for HRV accuracy is the index finger. I have Raynaud's syndrome, so I'm also not sure the standard recommendation even applies to me since circulation varies between fingers.
I've been alternating nights to compare, which I realize is probably destroying my baseline data entirely.
My readiness scores do seem slightly different depending on which finger I use, but I can't tell if that's the placement or just normal variation. Oura's support page basically says to choose the best finger to wear Oura Ring on based on comfort, which doesn't really help me narrow it down.
Has anyone with circulation issues found one finger consistently gives cleaner readings? And if you switched fingers after setup, did your trends take long to stabilize?

i just found out my email has been leaking my ip this whole time. like i thought i was using one of those email security solutions and it turns out it does literally nothing for metadata
been using proton for like a year thinking i was safe and then i read one reddit thread and now im in full panic mode
like what even is the point of these email security solutions if your provider just logs everything anyway
what are you guys actually using?

my health monitor watch has flagged "irregular rhythm detected" twice in the past two weeks. Both times I checked my pulse manually and it felt completely normal.

I've read that wrist-based optical sensors have a high false positive rate, but I'm not sure whether to just ignore it. My HRV has also been dropping randomly on nights where I felt totally fine, which is what made me start paying attention to the health monitor watch data in the first place.

GP appointment is booked but three weeks away. Has anyone had false rhythm flags from their device, or should I be ask for an earlier appointment?

our 9 year old lab mix has been on amantadine for dogs for about six weeks now, vet added it on top of the carprofen he was already taking for his hips, and i dont know if its working or if im just hoping too hard.
we moved to this new house like four months ago and the stairs here are brutal for him. he would just stand at the bottom and look at me. broke my heart every time. vet said his arthritis had gotten worse and threw out amantadine as an option to kind of reset the pain signals or something. so hes maybe a little better? like he attempted the stairs twice this week without me carrying his rear end up. but its hard to tell if thats the meds or the weather getting warmer or just a random good day. the cost is fine actually which surprised me. not the budget destroyer i expected
but i cant figure out if we're supposed to see a clear difference or just a slow gradual thing. i asked the vet and got a very long answer that i also did not fully retain. i think he said 2,3 weeks but its been longer than that and im still not sure
anyone with a senior dog who tried amantadine for dogs know what the timeline actually looked like? did you notice a specific change or was it more like one day you just realized they seemed better

the new iphone update came out and i did what i always do and updated immediately without thinking and now my vpn just refuses to connect?? i rely on it for literally everything, public wifi stresses me out so much and my roommate keeps telling me horror stories about people getting hacked so i've been so good about using it

and it was FINE before the update. like perfectly fine. and now it just spins and spins and then dies. i've tried different servers, deleted and redownloaded the app, restarted my phone like four times. i even googled about it and i still have no answers

someone in another post mentioned the new iphone update sometimes messes with vpn permissions in the settings but i went there and everything looks toggled on?? i don't know what i'm looking at honestly

has anyone else run into this after the new iphone update or does apple just personally hate me???

I've been meaning to do this for a while, and this weekend I finally sat down and ran John the Ripper against a bunch of hashed passwords I'd exported from some old test environments I set up years ago. Thought it was a good way to audit whether my past self had any idea what he was doing
it was humbling. Most of the MD5-hashed ones cracked in under a minute with just a basic wordlist. The bcrypt ones held up much better, which reassured me about my current setup. If you haven't used John the Ripper before, it's honestly one of the most useful tools to understand your own threat model, not just for CTFs or pen testing, but for real self audits.

Weak passwords fall embarrassingly fast, even with modest hardware, salt matters A LOT, unsalted hashes are just begging to be cracked, password managers aren't optional at this point, they're table stakes and if you're still using SHA-1 anywhere, please stop

Running John the Ripper is about understanding exactly how exposed you'd be if someone else ran it on your data. That hit different when I saw my own old passwords popping up in plaintext on screen..

Anyone else done self audits like this? Curious what setups or wordlists people are running with these days

my 6 year old beagle has been squinting a lot lately and the vet mentioned we might need to start using eye drops for dogs to help with what looks like mild dry eye. We got a prescription but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, every time I try to apply them he turns his head at the last second and I end up getting it on his fur instead of his eye. I've been reading a bit about eye drops for dogs online but most of what I find is either super technical or just trying to sell me something. I'm not sure how often I should be applying them, whether to do it before or after walks, or if there's any trick to getting a wiggly dog to cooperate.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Especially curious if there's a good technique for holding their head still without stressing them out too much. I know I should probably just call the vet again but it's hard to get an appointment quickly and wanted to see if other pet owners have been through the same thing with eye drops for dogs.

Any advice appreciated!

im in the united states and keep getting ads for this thing. been noticing some hair thinning and started looking into it last night instead of going to bed. i'm not sure about the irestore reviews though..

they are all over the place. some people say it helped, others say it did nothing. hard to tell who's being honest.
i dont get whether people are using it by itself or with a bunch of other treatments. are the irestore reviews legit? anyone actually try it and think it was worth the money?

I've been trying to figure out if it's worth buying a home air quality tester or if the consumer ones are basically expensive guesses. We had a stretch of bad wildfire smoke last year and it made me realize I have no real data on what my indoor air is actually like the rest of the time.
Did the research and the market is all over the place. Devices range from $30 IKEA units to $300+ Airthings setups. The cheap ones mostly measure PM2.5 and maybe VOCs with sensors that have questionable accuracy. The expensive ones add CO2, radon, humidity, pressure, and use better sensor packages, but I can't tell if I'm paying for actual precision or just a nicer app.
the VOC numbers specifically confuse me. Every review I've read says VOC sensors on consumer devices are the least reliable readings, and the values can swing wildly based on cooking, cleaning products, even alcohol in the room. So if the VOC number is basically noise, what am I actually getting beyond a particle counter and a CO2 sensor?
For anyone who's actually used an air quality tester at home for more than a few months, did the readings change anything you did (added a purifier, ventilation habits, etc), or did it mostly just give you another number to stress about?
