Who would win the Space Karen contest? Ælon or Kai Winn?

Yeah, it’s sunk cost fallacy all the way down. We’re just being harvested because…fuck us I guess.

Nice! Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of it. Planning to eventually replace my custom Snapdrop with Pairdrop since they’ve made quite a few other improvements.

Pair Drop

Quickly send files, paste images/text snippets between devices.

I’m using the older Snapdrop (which PD was forked from) with some patches I made to:

• Work behind Authelia for SSO + 2FA
• Use the display name provided by Authelia instead of the random usernames it gives out by default
• Send transfers over the internet without dealing with the temporary “rooms” that Pairdrop uses (it’s behind Authelia, so only authorized users can get to it).

It has 100% replaced emailing things to myself or shuffling files to/from Nextcloud. I probably use it to send text (URLs, clipboard contents, etc) to/from my phone as much as I use it for sending files back and forth.

There’s basically two executables involved:

• step is the CLI app used to request certificates
• step-ca is the server process the step client connects to

I’ve got the CA portion bundled into Docker. It can also run as an ACME server (and is compatible with certbot).

When was the last time someone asked for your birth certificate?

• Just renewed my driver’s licensed and it was required
• For some reason, I needed it to request a transcript from my college
• Signing the closing papers on my damn house? Believe it or not (I didn’t), birth certificate. No idea why.

Are other countries this obsessed with birth certificates?

Right, and I’m assuming Threads works on the Mastodon-style user follow paradigm, which means, currently, anyway, Lemmy wouldn’t be able to follow them directly.

But the ad-bot could, in theory, tag a Lemmy community and have that show up on Lemmy (at least, that seems to be how Mastodon content arrives here).

My instance preemptively defederated from Threads, but I’m assuming those ads are going to be served to Threads users via API, right, and not federated out?

The people who voted for him tend to prefer “Don’t tread on me” which makes it even more ironic.

When I was growing up, all my friends were into professional wresting (and also thought it was real).

Me:

I run a custom build of Nginx with a few extra modules compiled in:

• ModSecurity
  • https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity-nginx.git
  • https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
• Nginx GeoIP2 Module (https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module.git)
• OWASP Core Rule Set: https://github.com/coreruleset/coreruleset/tree/v4.10.0/rules

Some guidance can be found here: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-waf/admin-guide/nginx-plus-modsecurity-waf-owasp-crs/

That guidance is for NginxPlus, but you can compile the dynamic module yourself with the community versions.

Eh, those are fine for some people, but I’ve always preferred to let my instance grow organically. Basically everything that shows up here is something someone has subscribed to and wants to see. Quality over quantity and all that. I develop Tesseract and use that as the default frontend, and it makes it very easy for users to find and subscribe to communities (can browse remote instances, search them for communities, and one-click subscribe).

Yeah, it took me a while to fully divest from ml and get my instance subscribed to alternatives, but it’s been worth it.

hex, .ml, and ‘grad’

The real mildly infuriating is wasting resources on countless Lemmy servers with drivel from chatgpt.

You know what the bible also says, Elise?

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

– 1 Timothy 2:12

Please STFU Elise Stefanik as is your biblical right, nay duty, thus sayeth your lord.

Fair point. I wasn’t considering instance ethos, just relative size and federation policy.

There’s !furiouslyinfuriating@sh.itjust.works but it doesn’t seem to be very active.

You could also start one; seems like there’s plenty of fodder for it (recent events considered). .cafe would probably be a good place for it, too, since it’s not one of the super-large instances and is defederated from the extreme 3.

Well, would you look at that, third-party protest voters / abstainers / “undecideds”: you saved Palestine. /s
