New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

My two pieces for the 2024 Pokemon TCG Illustrator Contest! I didn't place in the top 300 but I still had fun drawing it anyway.

I have been slowly dying over the last couple of days because all of a sudden I have this weird sensory ick around my nose piercing. Just the fact that it's there- Like ther is a piece of metal in my nose. I technically don't even really feel it. But i FEEL it.

What the heck is going on. Stop this at once.

Some little Supah Mahrioh guys!

I wanted to make some Mario characters in the style of the Sonic Teams I did a few years ago. They were a lot of fun to make, and I'll probably get around to make some more soon.

Hopefully I'll get to add them to the shop soon! As well as reopen the shop soon!

If there's any characters you want to see next let me know and I might add it to the list!

What if Twilight and Rarity swapped cutie-marks, but their personalities stayed the same?

Most Pikmin fans don't know that Olimar should divorce his wife and take the kids and the dog too

The thing about 12-step programs is that the basic model involves getting a bunch of vulnerable, impulsive nutsos together in a plausibly cult-y atmosphere where they're likely to have already burned a lot of social bridges. That it doesn't turn out to be a hotbed of abuse would be the more farfetched assumption.

me: I'm so mad at the 1860s!

time-traveler from the war-torn United States of 1863 who is listening to me vent: It is a time of madness indeed. The bloodshed, the senseless ruin of men in the prime of life, for so base of a cause–

me, interrupting: Uh no this is about the stupid baggy men's clothing lol. Did you guys forget how to make clothes that fit?

How many times do we have to do this, y'all?

It's not just pixels. It's not just "separate the art from the artist". In a fandom with a lot of youngsters in it, as well as many people that come and stay for the good vibes, incest is not okay.

Incest should make you uncomfortable, no matter which set of siblings it is. I don't care if it's the Bros, the Koopalings, either set of Pines twins, any of the Ninja Turtles, or whoever else you can think of. If you're defending it, take a step back and ask yourself why you're cool with it, because you really shouldn't be.

And for those saying to just block and move on, or even going so far as to tell people legitimately triggered by this sort of thing that it's on them...well, my man up there says it best. (WARNING: I show the evidence for the sake of the meme.)

Anyway, @/dreamyluigi is a creep. They've posted ship art of Luigi and Mr. L as well. Love the style, but good art doesn't justify gross beliefs.

@opal16trash I had to do something to cope. Forgive me.
