  1. DROP These Hosting Networks Before They Get the Drop on You

    In a previous post, I shared the results of experiments where I used Claude AI to join publicly available data with hosting networks (ASN) data published by Interisle at the Cybercrime Information Center’s records repository.

    For this article, I’ve prompted Claude to look at more sets of ASN data, again cross-referenced these with the Spamhaus ASN DROP list, to continue to expand our understanding of the bulletproof hosting space.

  2. FFS I've just realised that in a couple of weeks I'm going to be on an aeroplane for almost 3 hours (+ airport security theatre) and I've been taken off all my medication for my enlarged prostate. And repeat on the way home.
    This could be........ fun (not)

  3. Finasteride is a drug that keeps on giving..... mostly bad stuff.

    The low mood caused by Finasteride for my enlarged prostate seems to be a lot better this morning. Yay!

    My wife has pointed out that I've definitely developed moobs and the area around my nipples is quite dark. Mirror confirms.
    Thanks.
    I'm well into A cup territory and heading for Bs.
    This might explain the vague ache on both sides of my chest.
    (Yes, it's a recognised side effect)

    While this is a novel experience at my age, I'm not welcoming it! Hopefully having stopped taking it about 10 days ago I won't be needing a visit to M&S any time soon🫣😳😆

  4. Hello Sunday People.

    The weather is forecast to be dry (!), about 24°C with a light breeze here in Leicestershire.
    So, as is customary, we'll head to the allotment to see what crops are dying /see which weeds are thriving. I'll try digging some potatoes for the LOLs . There's crap to move off the second plot still.
    The Site Steward may have spoken to one of my neighbours about taking that plot over, hopefully I'll see one of them.

    I'm still feeling very down - lack of interest in doing much and less motivation to do it. But it's getting done by habit, routine and rote. I know - or hope - that once this drug (Finesteride) is out of my system then things should return back to some sort of normal (complete with prostate symptoms). I just wish I could speed it up because I hate feeling like this.

    Have a good Sunday everyone.

  5. I'm back from the GP.

    Sent an online form to the #NHS surgery at 08:50 today, at 09:20 I got a text with an appointment at 10:30. Went in to see the GP at 10:20. Can't fault that.

    He was absolutely convinced that the low mood I've been experiencing, alongside the occasional nightmares, and slightly odd behaviour, are all due to the Finesteride I was prescribed for my enlarged prostate.

    He implied that I shouldn't have been prescribed it because of my history of depression.

    He agreed that I'm right to stop taking it, but the mood issues may not resolve quickly.

    I'm waiting for a referral to a Urologist now.

    Result!

  6. CW: Mental Health

    I wrote the other day that i think the #Finasteride tablets for my prostate are making me depressed.
    Well, something is.
    I've stopped taking them

    Plus I've realised that I've made some odd, impulsive decisions and purchases.
    This isn't like me.

    I am increasingly feeling like I'm wading through treacle. No energy to sustain anything constructive.

    I'm definitely contacting the GP tomorrow.

  7. I've decided to stop talking my Finesteride medication which was prescribed for my enlarged prostate. I'll contact the GP on Monday.
    I've noticed my mood going downhill this week, and depression is a side effect of this stuff that gets serious warnings (that I shrugged off).

    I guess I'm out of medical options and it'll be a long wait for a Urologist appointment.

  8. I had a phone call from the GP surgery - I'd asked for a review of my #BPH medication. I wasn't getting on with the #Tamsolusin .
    I've been prescribed Finasteride which seems to have an interesting selection of potential side effects (I really shouldn't look at the BNF)

  10. CW: BPH, erections, dysphoria

    That's one side effect I didn't expect. Last week, I started Flomax (generic) for treatment of an ongoing issue with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

    I've dealt with BPH since about 2008, and it had become a lot worse over the last year or so. Finasteride wasn't helping much anymore.

    As what I assumed was an effect of HRT, I also became unable to get an erection. TBH, I was okay with that.

    1/2

  11. CW: Medical complaining

    Today is my 4th day since starting Flomax for BPH. The side effects are still unpleasant. Admittedly, the rhinitis has eased, but the headaches every day. They aren't migraine level, but definitely painful.

  12. CW: Medical TMI, not trans specific

    I've always thought that you should give your body some time to adjust to non-life threatening side effects of new medications.

    Flomax, which I started last night, is testing my resolve as far as that belief. Headache and rhinitis this morning. Now it's already started tonight. Ugh.

    I sure hope I adapt quickly. The promise of Flomax is worth some short term discomfort.
