starladyI've deleted my LiveJournal, a good seven years after I should have. For those of you still crossposting: be aware that posts made under lock on LiveJournal are not secure, as the site no longer allows https browsing/posting, per this comment from mme_hardy:
LJ no longer allows access to its https site when browsing/posting, which means that any information you send to that site is readable by every other site that cares to eavesdrop. This means that anything you post under friendslock is still being read by any site that chooses to spy on Livejournal communications; you can safely assume that at least one Russian-government entity is.
I just double-checked, and the payment page *is* protected by https, so that at least should be secure.
In the meantime, I leave you with the trailer for the horror movie that is 2016. The only problem with the fact that this is clearly the worst year since 1939 is that 1939 was followed by 1940-45.
