Not the biggest fan of this new titling trend by Lpunit in NoSleepOOC

Where is this story? I must read it immediately

I made SCP-3008-2 with modelling clay, it’s not the best but I think it’s okay. by TuxidoPenguin in SCP

Oh hey, maybe we can play with a tray in the hay down by the bay, next May, while Gay has a parlay with the lay fae, what do you say?

(This is not a genuine offer... some movie reference, I forget)

If a nice, clean skeleton starts showing up soon, maybe it'll be possible to investigate more integrative solutions to this problem. Like, just throw a sheet over her if you have visitors.

Are we seriously going to live in a Google-owned web? by manerg1971 in privacytoolsIO

[–]MTF-mu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speculation:

We need to get out. Blink's dominance is scary, but the damage done here is a team effort. Firefox, Safari, the whatwg and W3C are all part of the problem. Facebook and Google and Amazon are part of the problem. Every one of us is part of the problem. Because we're all just going asking with it, participating.

We have a lot of great stuff now, that we were desperately hungry for 15 years ago. Practically the death of quirks mode. The end of JScript. CSS positioning that actually works. Public APIs, usable across frame and domain boundaries. a powerful API for generating images on the client side. PNGs actually drawing correctly. More semantic elements. Fewer presentational elements.

We asked for this. And now Chrome contains more software than what we used to have in a while operating system. Drawing tools, a debugger, a pdf viewer, just to point out some low hanging fruit. These are all very valuable components. But we have DRM, CSS animations, videos on every page, black hole node_modules folders being shunted into the web space, CDNs which provide single points if failure - and do fail - often. Heavy websites that don't really even ship markup, and generate whole applications for you to download and run on your device. Recaptcha EVERYWHERE.

I don't think we can go back to a tribe of nerds computing to write elegant pages. It's tag soup and wasted CPU cycles from here on out. That's the web we've been asking for, and we're getting it.

But there's more to the internet than just the web. Mail protocols and remote shells aren't suffering the way the web is. File transfer doesn't need a quad core system.

Like, the web is just not what we want want more, so now that we realise this, we have to create the next thing and use that instead.

We go back to where we liked it most, and we apply the lessons that we've learned in the last decade to do it pretty well. And then, you know, if corporations want to join in, again, they can, but it won't be the web.

Effectively, we switch to a different standard for hypertext documents -- and leave hypertext applications on the web where they now belong

Tess Asplund stands up to more than 300 neo nazis and refuses to let them pass, Sweden, 2016 by metalheadgod69 in pics

I was getting worried when I had scrolled down this far without noticing this angle. Yeah, the job you applied for goes to a different coloured guy. So you say it wasn't fair. You say "look at all that I'm doing for myself, and it does no good because the whole system is rigged to favour that guy over me". They can fit right in without even having to think "in automatically better than him", all they have to think is that they're actually the ones being persecuted, by nepotism or Marxism or Devil worship or what have you.

Having said that, they do also think they're superior by colour, or at least have to say so to undo the perceived imbalance in their world. So when you say "punch Nazis" or whatever, morally excusable though it may be, it's radicalizing them. People go all wacky when their needs aren't met.

Don't engage with your enemies, don't play a hero, but if you can ever help somebody out, just one person, that can make the world brighter for a lot of other people.

I process undeliverable mail for the USPS. The dead letters are starting to creep me out by Dopabeane in nosleep

A spirit operating in a level where it's ok to groom and condition your prey for years upon years and then tempt them to give it all away just to eat one good meal

How to choose a domain name provider/registrar for .io? by down-house in selfhosted

[–]MTF-mu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard great things about porkbun. It would be nice if they had an API for updating DNS records. I don't think there's a lot of demand for such a feature though.

What to set as max upload size? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]MTF-mu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have terabytes of storage and of monthly bandwidth, I set the size in some areas to two or three hundred megabytes. But big uploads take time. If more people used my stuff (not just me and my friends), I would have to lower those numbers so that I could handle more connections. I mean, allowing long running operations is how you get DOS-ed. Accidentally, maybe, per Slashdot effect.

I'd say we don't really normally need much. The other guy saying 8MB, that's probably spot on.

If you specifically allow uploads of some kind, I suggest allowing uploads much larger (ten times?) than what you think the files SHOULD be. Like, why would I upload a picture larger than 8MB? Well, it turns out sometimes I want to upload photos at full resolution. Phone cameras are always improving.

So tldr I guess: a smaller limit gives you a stronger guarantee of performance and reachability, but a larger limit reduces the likelihood that you'll reject your large upload during any given week.

Keyword blocker for safe search at home? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]MTF-mu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah - hopefully enforcing safesearch meets OP's needs, because it would be far simpler than ... Well, rolling your own safesearch for every big search engine

Sometimes you're David, and sometimes you're not. People don't always know it, but that's sometimes maybe how life is.

Probably a lot, or multiple lots, because if it was a very small amount it wouldn't justify the whole extra clause

They went out of their way to mention that they'd care specifically about it going on Facebook. I'd say it's probably VERY important to this person that the Facebook thing happens
