For anybody following the saga of my balls, the good news is they don’t think it’s cancer. I have highly unusual balls I’m told, where there’s about 15 small developmental cysts on each that are just chilling and have probably been there a long time (from fetal growth).
Also don’t be afraid of getting your balls checked out, I had three ultrasounds and all were painless and not embarrassing. I have a ton of funny stories too, eg the Windows ultrasound box rebooting for security updates mid scan
@GossiTheDog I don't know what I initially expected after the first 8 words but I appreciate the candor.

You haven’t lived til you’ve seen an ultrasound doctor do this while scanning your bollocks
@GossiTheDog This is so on-brand

@GossiTheDog "unusual balls" is a great online handle and/or punk rock band name.
(wishes of stable, healthy balls your way)
@faraiwe Sounds like something to definitely add to your LinkedIn profile.

Somehow Kevin's Balls causing Windows to reboot wasn't on my 2026 Infosec Bingo card.
Might be worth adding to your CV or at least on your LinkedIn profile 😁

@faraiwe fits well in a CV or a greeting card too.

@GossiTheDog lol, I sincerely hope that someone includes the "highly unusual balls" quote in your many-decades-from-now obituary. Cracked me up.

@GossiTheDog Thats normal for tech-people to have machines in front oft them randomly reboot, right?
Because I'm always glad to hear others report this, too.
(And hi, local supermarket, your Cent OS 7 is slightly outdated 🙈)@sigi714 @GossiTheDog that and every single computer you own has to have a broken and configuration that would make anyone from tech support run for the hills.

Or Epic, for that matter!

@GossiTheDog I so hope that there's threat intel companies that automatically channel your Toots straight into their paid-for news feeds without human moderation.

@GossiTheDog their MSP deserves some shade too for cheaping out and not deploying LTSC on those machines.
But there's never a moment when such an exclamation isn't appropriate!

that's good news!
🎉 thanks for sharing this. nobody should ever feel embarrassed or shy about getting screened. Doctors don't view "private parts" as different from any other body part. That's why they're called doctors!

@GossiTheDog My balls are also fine, I was recently happy to learn. Hoping the hydrocele resolves on its own, if not I guess I just have one bigger, squishy ball from now on. Not uncomfortable, so it's whatever.
Thank you for helping to create a supportive environment to discuss boy parts issues.

Hah! Glad your scan was okay, obvs.
Regarding computer kit in hospitals, years ago I had, as part of a a drug trial, my eye-movements, or saccades (sp?) measured. This was in 2008. They used an ancient MS-DOS machine because apparently it was the only way to get perfect timings with NO other processes running on the machine.

@GossiTheDog I have had my balls checked out and can confirm it is not a big deal. I have discovered a minor varicocele case a while ago. Nothing to be worried about. everybody should have their balls checked out every once in a while.

@GossiTheDog oh wow. I too have weird balls! I've had this weird cyst since, idk, high school. Huge cancer scare but now it's just a thing.
@neurobashing @GossiTheDog Similar here! I briefly had 3 balls, which is a line to use once in a while when everyone is a few beers into the evening...

@GossiTheDog Aww, you have all the fun.
I just had them failing to find anything on the main bodies of my testes, because indeed there wasn't, with final diagnosis being "yeah, there's something non-malignant on the epidydimus of that one, no blood flow, so not cancerous, just keep an eye on it".

@Jeremiah yeah I am staying with 1password because I'm afraid of migrating all my passwords and 2FA to Proton... all eggs in one basket sort of problem like, what happens if my account is compromised or I lose access to it? Best to keep passwords private from email/calendar/drive IMHO... and moving them to Bitwarden will take significant time so the slight price increase is ok for me as I value my time more. But keeping an open mind and may change stance in the future.
Pricing aside, I love the UX/UI of 1Password across devices (computer / phone) over other offerings...
