I just changed the avatars to “RoboHash” for users commenting on this blog. RoboHash seems to be an improvement over the abstract patterns that were displayed next to usernames before. The robot image is generated automatically.

I recently encountered a very odd problem with YandexMail, which is my primary email client, and I do not find a lot of information about this problem online. It seems to be a configuration issue. Here is the error message: Diagnostic-Code: X-Yandex; lost connection with mailsec.protonmail.ch[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] while performing the EHLO handshake From what I gather,… Continue reading ProtonMail/YandexMail Issue (Attn: Cycle Path)

I have turned both the archives and categories pages into drop-down menus. This should improve the usability of this blog, in particular on devices with limited screen real estate. I only became aware of this being a potential issue when I checked up on comments on my phone on a recent trip.

It’s the end of the year and as many of you deliberately do not have an expensive girlfriend or wife, maybe you want to send some love to the author of this blog instead. So, think of all the enjoyment, education, and entertainment you got from this blog all this time and send some some… Continue reading End-of-Year 2023 Fundraiser

The maintenance is over. Now you can again freely access my blog.

As a quick update, I would like to let you know that this blog will soon be publicly accessible again. Likely, this will happen sometime next week.

This blog is offline until further notice. In the meantime, you can head to my other blog on aaronselias.com to continue the conversation.

My book on online game is now available for $4.99. If you have not yet bought it, now is probably a good time. This is also the standard price for all my other e-books.

The forum has not seen much activity for quite a while, which is a fate that is shared with probably all specialist forums. By and large, Internet usage patterns have simply changed, and Google suppressing niche content surely did not help either. I will remove the forum at the end of June 2023. If you are… Continue reading Forum Closure

I think I joined Amazon’s affiliate program around the time I released Sleazy Stories, which was in 2009. Over the years, this led to a trickle of money, not a lot but it was enough to pay for the occasional domain renewal or part of a hosting bill. Well, this has now come to a… Continue reading Amazon Closed My Affiliate Account

The site is back. Make sure to read the article I posted yesterday.

In the last few weeks, I have posted several new articles on my other blog. If you are interested in my longer takes on politics and society, hop over there and get up to speed! There is more coming in the future.

In light of recent events, I had to update my Consultations page to add my ProtonMail email address. For context, in order to hamstring an unwelcome competitor, GMail has started to classify all email from Yandex as spam and refuses to deliver it to recipients. Yes, you read this correctly: Emails from a Yandex account do… Continue reading GMail has Started to Block Emails from Yandex

A few times I have been asked about setting up a faster, more immediate communications channel for my readers. For instance, with Discord, you can set up your own channel, which they refer to as a “server”, whereas Telegram makes it possible to set up private chat groups, not unlike private groups in Facebook, but… Continue reading Thoughts on Using Discord, Telegram, or other Channels for Communication

It is the end of 2019, so now is the time to appeal to all of you financially well off Chads to donate a few coins to the upkeep of this site. As you know, I do not run any ads on this site. This benefits the reading experience as there are no flashy banners… Continue reading End-Of-Year Fundraiser

The issue of this site being flagged as “untrustworthy” by your browser of choice has come up frequently. While this site does not process any personal data, there would be no technical justification for adding an SSL certificate. However, for the sake of improved user experience, I just added an SSL certificate to this blog.… Continue reading SSL Certificate Added

While comments on this blog are anonymous, there was a potential privacy issue due to so-called Gravatar Hovercards. If your email address is not linked to a profile on Gravatar.com, a random image is created. However, if it is, then WordPress shows a link to your Gravatar profile in said ‘Hovercards’. Of course, these may… Continue reading Admin: Gravatar Hovercards have been disabled

I just noticed that three recent comments of regulars ended up in the spam folder. Two had two links, and one had one link to BitChute, which is a site the Google-dominated Internet does not like very much. Neither of it should have happened. Should you leave a comment that does not show up within… Continue reading Admin: Comments not showing up? Message me!

As a quick heads-up, I recently finished the first draft of Sleazy Stories III. In due time, I will release a sample and further information. The projected release date is late 2018/early 2019. Did you like this article? Excellent! If you want to support what I am doing, then please consider buying my excellent books,… Continue reading Sleazy Stories III is coming

My next book is Sleazy Stories II: A Seducer’s Sex-Laden Spring in Berlin. Technically, it took me nine years to write this book, but in reality there was more of an eight-year gap between the rough draft and the final version. For anyone from back in the days who is still around: you guys rock!… Continue reading Sleazy Stories II: Cover and Sample

Please excuse me teasing you. I’d love to write a bit more, but I have a lot on my plate right now. This will clear up very soon. I hope to share more about “Sleazy Stories II” within the next 48 hours.

After some delay, my most recent book “Meditation Without Bullshit” is now available for Amazon Kindle as well as the various e-readers and software programs that support Kindle ebooks. Right now, the Kindle version is listed separately from the paperback version, but this should get fixed automatically within the next few days. So, either search… Continue reading “Meditation Without Bullshit” now available on Kindle!

There were some reports from people about not being able to post very long comments. Credible reports only came from two users. One was kind enough to email me the comment he could not post, so I was able to investigate the issue. Indeed, with Google Chrome, my blog timed out repeatedly. However, with Firefox,… Continue reading Update on Timeout Issues

After thinking some more about how I’m going to handle two blogs, I’ve decided that I will no longer regularly announce new articles I’ve published on AaronSElias.com on this blog. If you like the topics I have been exploring on AaronSElias.com so far, and don’t want to miss out on new articles as I put… Continue reading Update on AaronSElias.com

Some of you are members of my forum (http://forum.aaronsleazy.com). As you may have noticed, a couple years ago I turned it private and disabled public registrations. This was a reaction to two unfortunate events: First, the number of spam registrations, in particular from Russia, India, and China, became too much to handle. Second, it was… Continue reading Status of the Forum

In case there has been some confusion about my transition to AaronSElias.com: my plan is to keep AaronSleazy.com online indefinitely. (I’ll have to keep the domain name anyway as it would only be snagged up by a PUA scammer otherwise.) Posts on AaronSleazy.com will focus largely on men, women, and gender issues. Posts on other… Continue reading How AaronSleazy.com will move forward

As a brief update, I’d like to let you know that Sleazy Stories II is in its final proof-reading stage. Progress has been very smooth so far. Stay tuned for further information.

I recently changed my web host. Soon it is time for the next step. “Aaron Sleazy” will continue to exist. It is a wonderful online persona. However, the site and its content will move, namely from aaronsleazy.com to aaronselias.com. The new Aaron is Aaron “Sleazy” Elias, in short: Aaron S. Elias. Not much will change… Continue reading Admin: Upcoming domain change to aaronselias.com

My website has now moved to a new server. There were a few minor hiccups, but it worked out fine in the end. There is a very small number of pending comments that have yet to be restored manually. If you encounter any problems with the site, please let me know. This is also a… Continue reading Admin: Server move complete

Next week I intend to move this site to a new hosting provider. Ideally, you won’t even notice that, but there may be some hiccups along the way. It could happen that some comments get lost during the transfer, but those will be manually restored. If not, just let me know. Moving to a new… Continue reading Admin: The blog will move to a new host soon

If you enjoy this blog and think I’m making a valuable contribution to the world, then please consider donating to the upkeep of this site. Your support is greatly appreciated. This blog is losing money as I pay for hosting and infrastructure. I also spend a lot of my spare time on it. Funds raised… Continue reading Admin: Call for support/fund raising

I have some very busy weeks coming up, so my availability for coaching sessions will be quite limited until the end of June. I won’t be able to do any Skype coaching sessions until 10 June. Email coaching is still an option, but instead of my usual turnaround time of 24 hours, it will be… Continue reading Admin: Limited availability of coaching sessions until late June

The other day I was asked what was up with the paperback version of Minimal Game on Amazon.com. It is currently only available from scalpers third-party sellers, who charge over $50 for it. Don’t buy from them. If you are interested in buying that book as a paperback, please wait a little bit longer as… Continue reading About the availability of “Minimal Game” (paperback) on Amazon.com
