the weirdness with my landlord has just gotten worse, and i think they're trying to steal my internet presence because they think it's lucrative. my retarded mother is involved, and she's long been of the misperception that i make a lot of money from the internet, when the truth is that youtube has never cut me a check and bandcamp sales are trivial. bloggers are presented as wealthy by production companies, but it's actually all make believe; nobody actually makes money on the internet without putting money down first. you have to pay to play and i don't want to. i'm stuck with a family full of idiots; i went 1000 km away to escape them, and they seem to have followed me. ugh. if i did make $1000 from ad revenue, my mother would try to steal $900 of it. the only solution is to expel her from your life.
i woke up to a truncated password; my password was 100 characters long when i slept and 20 when i wokeup. i cannot remember those extra 80 characters. it looks like somebody truncated it when i was sleeping; i can't come up with another explanation. i suppose i might have accidentally done it but i don't know how.
this account had no connection to anything, except this blog; i have disconnected it from the blog and removed any links to it from youtube. the account was meant strictly for data storage. if the address was stolen, they gained nothing of value. i can create a new shell account.
i don't know yet if i get the account back or i have to lose it and get a new one. i'm feeling unsettled about the second option. please be cognizant for now that inrirecords@gmail.com is not me, until further notice.
update: i've contacted the fraud unit, and they are aware of the theft. somebody may have tried to hack my paypal account. the person that stole the account has changed the name on it and may be trying to actively use it, which will make it easier to figure out who it was, in time. but, for now, i'm essentially going to have to accept the loss and set up a new account. they gain nothing of value. do not respond to anybody contacting you using that address, it is not me, it is my crooked landlord.
update: password worked on morning of dec 16, got truncated & cut off late in the morning or early in the afternoon of dec 16. corruption between 10:00-15:00 on 16th. i'm lifting weird files off recovery media, but i haven't found the password yet.
it looks like somebody edited the file when i was sleeping close to 12:00, probably on my recording pc. there is some possibility that i mangled it when i changed my bandcamp passwords around 14:30. i have the pieces to set up a camera in here over the next few days. the machine is air gapped, but vulnerable to physical attack.
after 20:00, i was looking at the gmail activity log and logged out of my accounts, and that is when i discovered that the password was truncated. i had logged in previously at around 9:00 after a reboot.
i want the address back. it's useless to them.
keep an eye on this space:
https://www.youtube.com/@inri_records
that is what they currently have access to.
i kicked them out of the inri records blog, so they may try to start their own.
i have aggressively flagged them for impersonating me. the second best thing is that the account is disabled.
i had some issues with paypal today and wonder if they tried to hack in, but paypal wouldn't provide information.
