You have the next low budget Netflix teen supernatural / fantasy / romance / horror / drama / latest ripoff of BtVS right there. Either filmed in England and set in England or filmed in Canada, but set in the US.

Got to get some unknown but super hot gen Zer to play the dragon boy... Who obviously is a normal hot boy who shapeshifts into a dragon. He's either orphaned and doesn't know he's a dragon and is "Why are these weird things happening to me? Oh god I'm a monster!! Better not talk to my friends about this cuz they might reject me!" OR, he's like the black sheep of his super rich dragon family, hanging out with and dating humans while his dragon parents are all super judgy about it. He either has a hot dragon sister who tries to sabotage his relationships and is mean and condescending to everyone only to turn out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when she ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / nerdy head of the science club / nerdy film club kid / possibly the youngish hot teacher if she's older>. OR he has the aloof, loyal to the family, arrogant older dragon brother who turns out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when he ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / gay best friend / grungy band kid>.

Meanwhile the redhead girls are sisters who are actually <witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies> and are in a complicated will they / won't they love triangle with the hot dragon boy (which wouldn't be so complicated if the characters would just have honest, open conversations with each other instead of hiding from their feelings and lying to each other constantly about everything). They can't be with the hot dragon boy anyway, because <contrived nonsensical reason that witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies can't be with dragons>. In spite of that, their gay dads (who are concealing some terrible secret that's not actually terrible and not actually that secret, but we won't find that out until season 2 or 3) are super supportive of their romantic choices and just want them to be happy no matter what, in spite of the pressure they're getting from the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court> to make sure their daughters follow "the Code / Pact" and don't fraternize with dragons (This could mean war with the dragons or something, or opening a portal to hell, or...who the fuck knows... The audience certainly doesn't know why, and won't find out until the season 1 finale, probably because filming started on the first five episodes before the writers figured out what it actually means).

Whichever sister ends up with the dragon boy (probably not until halfway into season 2, you gotta milk these things as long as possible), the other sister will get a hot boy / girl toy as a consolation prize. That character is either a best friend / sidekick who has been there from episode 1 "just waiting for them to notice" OR is introduced in the first episode of season 2., in which case they're either a totally normal mundane human (and wiley shenanigans will ensue to hide the supernatural world from them as long as possible) OR they appear to be a totally normal mundane human until the BIG REVEAL that they are a <demon / warlock / dragonslayer knight> working for / a sworn enemy of the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court>.

Anyway, pitch that at Netflix, they'll probably make it.

There's a learning curve, but if you're familiar with WAF's it's not hard.

If you want to DIY something, I have a bash script that builds OpenResty with NAXSI from source. Most of the web apps I write anymore are actually in Lua, for OpenResty, maybe with an API written in something else. But I also help other members of my team deploy their Node and Python apps and stuff, and I always just park those behind OpenResty with NAXSI, just doing a standard nginx reverse proxy.

Every computer I own is an autobot. My primary machine is always Optimus Prime, has been since 2008. Other machines get other names generally slightly inspired by their role / nature. Bumblebee and CliffJumper are miniPCs of various persuasions, Preceptor is my "mess around with AI" box, my big server that handles most of my data and network services is Wheeljack, my Macbook is Mirage, my backup server is Powerglide, my TV (which is an old Dell all in One running Linux Mint) is UltraMagnus.

Oh our dear dear friend Donald, whom we have always respected and admired, how you have been persecuted at the hands of the evil Libs. Man, you sure owned them, with that awesome State of the Union address. Man that was great, The way you like called them out, about how they would never applaud you no matter how much good you did? And man, I got to say, you done so so much good! Like really, you stopped those bad bad, unwhite gay transgendered people from destroying America. And you made friends with Putin man, you're like literally creating world peace, one rebuilt Gaza at a time, but those nasty mean Democrats? They could never acknowledge that could they. No they couldn't. It's because they don't understand you, not like we do.

Anyway, so about this DOJ thing...

Back in the day I had like five Reddit accounts. I still log into one of them sometimes (no it's not my main one, that one turned into obscene invitations for u/spez to bugger himself with a hot poker, I'm not exaggerating).

I wish the problem with the Democratic party was simple corruption, but it's actually the culture of the people who mostly run for office.
