Rebranding Efforts

Rebranding my online presence

The ToasterBotnet got an update.
It was time for a rebranding.
And with this a clear definition what this is all about
and what the idea is of this entire mess.

I’m making this up as I go along.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT FOR THE INTERNET GENERATION.

We are blending time management and productivity
with technology addiction and internet culture.

Because shitposting is art and grindset matters.

I thought self-improvement junkies could do with a little bit more absurd humor and meme edge lords could do with a little bit more self-improvement and productivity.
So here is my semi-ironic take on hustle culture.
Everything you need to optimize and improve your personal life
through the lense of a tech nerd and an internet addict.

App Update

The roll out of the new ToasterApp Version is done.

Aaaaaand it sucks. I tried to activate Pinch Zoom and it doesn’t work at all how it’s supposed to. And I couldn’t test it in the emulator because, well … it’s not a touch screen. At least the top-down-pull to refresh the content works now.

small win. Doing Android Apps is not my cup of tea.
I’m not fixing this right now because I’m afraid I will smash my keyboard into my monitor if Android Studio decides to fuck with me again.

Just don’t try to zoom. I’ll get back to this sometime.

BABY’S FIRST YOUTUBE

TOASTERBOTNET YOUTUBE

Alrigth I’m doing Youtube now so deal with it xD

Starting a damn Youtube Channel was on my Bucket List for quite a while now.

This is Baby’s first Youtube. I know how super cringy this is and I’m aware that it’s an incoherent mess, but I won’t get any better if I don’t  practice making videos. Everybody needs to start somewhere 🙂

Constructive criticism is welcomed. Now I need to make a second Video ASAP, so that this one moves further down the feed into oblivion.

stay tuned for more self-improvement content.

Here is my Channel . Remember to like or whatever. Thanks Bye 🙂

Apologies

Sorry I just noticed, a quote got autoposted which wasn’t exactly expressing my beliefs and values and I don’t know how that got in there. But I probably scheduled it by accident some time ago. So whoever saw that for the few hours that it was up. Apologies. Not in tune with my political beliefs.

Access Denied

Some idiot is trying to log into one of my servers by doing a login attempt every 5 minutes from various different alternating IP addresses. Looks like a long running dictionary attack or something.

Dude, give up already. It’s spaming my logs. I don’t even know my password myself. And unless you also have my 2FA tokens you are out of luck anyway.

To mitigate the logspam I’m making a new rule.

3 Strikes and you are out. If any IP has 3 failed attempts it gets blocked forever. I hope the guy has unlimited IP addresses if he wants to keep this up.

SEO

Alright I wanna do SEO now.

Okay… So how do I do SEO for a meme page?

Do I just put stuff like “dank” and “funny” into the keywords? What are people searching for these days? Maybe I can just use dirty words and pretend that I’m a pr0n site. So many options. Just kidding. I wanna do this right.

I have decent traffic already and I’m really curious what will happen if I pretend to give a damn. I want to know how much more traffic I can squeeze out of this shitpost-blog.

I’ll be back. doing some research

Adding Old Stuff to the Blog

I decided to gather some old Screenshots, Websites, Memes and Comics. I’m basically trying to fill my Blog the other way arround and I plan to add a lot of old stuff with timestamps to build an archive of some sort. I’m gradually going through old backups and post stuff before this blog even existed. So from time to time, there might appear some posts with dates before 2016 and earlier. Just FYI.
