I take my shitposts very seriously.

  • Is this what normies feel like when Linux users tell them to just use Linux? I have some apologies to make.

  • POW is a far higher cost on your actual users than the bots.

    That sentence tells me that you either don't understand or consciously ignore the purpose of Anubis. It's not to punish the scrapers, or to block access to the website's content. It is to reduce the load on the web server when it is flooded by scraper requests. Bots running headless Chrome can easily solve the challenge, but every second a client is working on the challenge is a second that the web server doesn't have to waste CPU cycles on serving clankers.

    POW is an inconvenience to users. The flood of scrapers is an existential threat to independent websites. And there is a simple fact that you conveniently ignored: it fucking works.

  • Interface configuration and DNS resolution are managed by different systems. Their file structures are different. It's been like this for many decades, and changing it is just not worth breaking existing systems.

  • No numbers, no testimonials, or even anecdotes... "It works, trust me bro" is not exactly convincing.

  • That's a poython constructah, __init__?

  • If this is as significant an issue as you imply, please link some credible sources.

    As far as I can tell, the "Chinese server" (or EU server) is just a public ID and Relay server, and necessary for the application to function unless a self-hosted server is used.

  • You can host the open-source ID and Relay servers for simple remote access at no cost. The pro subscription is mainly about account and device management.

     yaml
        
    services:
      hbbs:
        container_name: hbbs
        image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
        command: hbbs
        volumes:
          - ./data:/root
        network_mode: "host"
        depends_on:
          - hbbr
        restart: always
    
      hbbr:
        container_name: hbbr
        image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
        command: hbbr
        volumes:
          - ./data:/root
        network_mode: "host"
        restart: always
    
      
  • That is probably the second worst outcome. People suck.

  • 23:22? Nah mate, my work phone turns off the moment I step through the gate. If someone chose to wait until after 16:00, they can wait until next morning to be told to fuck off.

  • Why split physical and data link when they are so closely related?

    You can run Ethernet on any medium that has the capacity to transmit digital signals. It can be copper, optical, over-air laser, radio, on top of an analog carrier wave (ASK, FSK, PSK). The Ethernet traffic can be completely independent from the physical medium by using encapsulation (L2TP or any other protocol that encapsulates Layer-2). It can be pigeons carrying printouts of the Ethernet frames, scanned and reassembled at the destination. The same can be said about most Layer-2 protocols.

    As long as the proper interfaces are present, the physical layer is completely transparent to the data link layer.

    (edit) I should point out that Ethernet, specifically, transmits extra data before and after the frame (the preamble and inter-packet gap) that are used to configure the Rx circuit for reception, but the Layer-2 frame will be identical regardless of the medium.

  • It's possible that, when the ISP revokes the public address and assigns a new one, the DNS record isn't updated immediately and still points to the old address. Then every new request would be sent to the old, invalid address.

    And this is where I start shilling for Tailscale. It's a Wireguard-based mesh VPN that is designed to work from behind firewalls, NAT, and CGNAT. It has its own internal split DNS provider, and probably some mechanism to handle public address changes that is transparent to the tunnelled traffic. You can use it to share the server with only the devices that have the client installed, or expose the server to the internet.

    I've got it set up on my OPNSense firewall as a subnet router that advertises the subnet where my servers are, and often stream from Jellyfin over it. There's some overhead, but it's never been disruptive.

  • Sometimes, "Yes, do as I say!" just doesn't get the message through.

  • Verifying that the code doesn't contain regressions, bugs, or vulnerabilities, that it doesn't conflict with whatever the owner is actively developing privately, in addition to making sure it wasn't vomited out by a goddamn clanker, is a huge burden on a solo developer. They are free to decide whether to take on this responsibility.

  • That's pretty much what happened. Windows 8 was such dogshit that it might be indirectly responsible for the revolution of Linux gaming. https://archive.ph/iHl8q

    (edit) The comments are fucking hilarious.

    Who is this turkey anyway. He says it’s “unusable” but doesn’t say he’s used it. Had he done so he would have looked past the surface change and recognized the true power and smoothness under the hood. [...] Way to go Microsoft too bad you need to put up with idiots that are too lazy to keep up with the times.

  • I take it you've never done any serious software development.

    No matter how much they try, the in-house testing environment will never be as diverse as the "wild". Running the software in production, where it will encounter a vastly greater range of system configurations, and users who will report issues, is often the only way to catch the more elusive bugs. Like xz. And let me point it out because people seem to have completely missed it: they caught the bug and fixed it.

  • What sounds like gatekeeping is often a strongly worded emphasis on having the prerequisite knowledge to not just host your services, but do it in a way that is secure, resilient, and responsible. If you don't know how to set up a network, set up a resilient storage, manage your backups, set up HTTPS and other encryption solutions, manage user authentication and privileges, and expose your services securely, you should not be self-hosting. You should be learning how to self-host responsibly. That applies to everything from Debian to Synology.

    Friends don't let friends expose their networks like Nintendo advises.

  • Three-day suspension. Come back when you've learned to regulate your emotions.

  • Unless I'm terribly misunderstanding the word's meaning (or anglophones once again redefined a word to reflect their current sensibilities), "conservative" doesn't automatically imply politics, just that someone is resistant to new ideas. A person who only listens to music produced before the 20th century and goes into a rage when video game music composers are mentioned is a conservative, but not in terms of political views.
