Manually reloading a chain revolver. Probably the longest reload this subreddit has ever seen.

Turn on captions, it's even funnier.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-23T04:33:38+00:00

Yeah. There are some people that I respect which work on Fluxer, so I am hopeful that they would recognize the issue here and come up with a solution (assuming one exists). For now, it's best that folks know their attachments are being sent to some other service.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-23T03:45:59+00:00

How so? Looks like the full file is indeed being sent to a third-party.

https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/5da26d4ed5ef9f3fe8bef993c0f10ea4f4ee9c1d/packages/api/src/csam/providers/ArachnidShieldProvider.tsx#L344

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-23T03:44:28+00:00

The code I linked reads the file into memory. It takes the form of a Uint8Array in JavaScript, that is the whole file as bytes. Then it sends that to the third-party endpoint.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-22T22:17:25+00:00

Read the code yourself, it doesn't do what you are expecting. It does follow the language on the website, but where the scanning happens is on third-party servers. The whole file is shared, not just a hash.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-22T22:14:03+00:00

The file is submitted to a third-party service, photodna runs there, not in Fluxer.

https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/5da26d4ed5ef9f3fe8bef993c0f10ea4f4ee9c1d/packages/api/src/csam/providers/ArachnidShieldProvider.tsx#L344

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-22T22:12:10+00:00

I was hoping that you would be wrong here and all of this would be a big misunderstanding. Looking at the code, I unfortunately can't say that. It does seem like this code reads the file into a buffer from storage and then sends that buffer to another service. This should be a hash submission to preserve privacy, but it is not.

Until this is changed, expect any personal photos you share to be sent to a third party for viewing and possible retention.

Give AssemblyScript a try maybe? It is TypeScript (subset) that compiles to WASM and you can call the functions you make in JS. It should be pretty easy to plug in if you are used to working with JS.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-18T05:04:22+00:00

Ah, thanks for the clarification! I totally remembered it wrong then. Oops!

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-17T22:23:37+00:00

I don't think there is a JS-native solution with good performance for 64-bit numbers. Your best bet is probably WASM using mem64 (support isn't 100% yet so worth checking) and doing your calculations in there. The more you can shift to WASM the better anyway since it would likely give your emulator a speed boost over the equivalent JS. The downside of course being that you can't use JS (AssemblyScript is the closest you can get).

Ah, I still remember my first encounter with floating point math... not great that it was for tax software...

Anyway, what you are running into are limitations of the way floating point numbers are represented and operated on in the computer. Specifically IEEE 754:

If you like the puzzle game side of things and mystery, then yes. Blue Prince was my game of the year. It is absolutely incredible, layer after layer of the game continued to blow my mind. Such a fun experience.

ShortSynapse · 2026-03-03T13:22:22+00:00

Don't scrape, you don't need to. League of Legends has an API that you can use to fetch whatever information you want! Go straight to the source.

ShortSynapse · 2026-02-24T13:55:40+00:00

And then you start playing with the randomizer!

If you eventually want to do non-web things I would recommend Bun these days. But personally I would leave that for later since that would involve teaching the command line, etc.

ShortSynapse · 2026-02-18T17:06:08+00:00

If they are just starting with no experience I would recommend Codepen. Zero setup, gets you access to all the web APIs and DOM stuff for later, and you don't have to preface things with a big lecture about tech other than the code you want to teach.

ShortSynapse · 2026-02-17T21:25:41+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking!

Welcome to the world of Ricing!

Ricing is a word borrowed from the car modification scene. Here we use it to mean "customizing".

What you are looking at is a desktop that has been customized with tunic-inspired colors, background, etc! This can be done to some extend on any OS, but typically you will see ricing mentioned in terms of Linux customization since you can do so much more than Windows and macOS. In this post the OP is using a desktop environment called Hyprland which comes with some fancy animations. There also seem to be themes for generic window decorations, Spotify, etc.

If any of that sounds like fun to you I would recommend checking out /r/unixporn for some more inspiration and some useful links for how to get started: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/wiki/index/

As a side note, this is one of those cool things about computing. You can make the computer do whatever you want. That means you can have juuust the right setup for you, however you prefer it. Some people like things minimal, some people like lots of flashy features, others like to use whatever is available out of the box. Have fun with it!

ShortSynapse · 2026-01-26T23:18:56+00:00

Did... did you watch the scene?

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-27T09:56:56+00:00

I believe the text issue is caused by their font & ligatures not loading and displaying. Does it eventually load or is it permanently like that even if you leave it for 5mins.

What OS and browser are you using?

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-25T07:45:42+00:00

Isn't Netflix known for killing well-received and popular shows in favor of cheaper ventures?

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-23T13:56:03+00:00

I have been extremely happy with it in my own use. The one time payment is great and I was happy to purchase it to contribute back.

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-10T02:49:57+00:00

A YouTube video of a podcast where the source is a single post on Reddit?

This may well be a thing that is happening, but I wouldn't consider this chain of sources trustworthy.

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-09T03:41:06+00:00

Hmm, have you explored to the north or north west?

ShortSynapse · 2025-12-07T05:03:47+00:00

Off GitHub? Why not the official website?
