What in the actual fuck? Does he have to collapse the ambling corpse even further so he can discover why the ability to block existed and then re-invent it but shittier to convince himself it's necessary?

Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time? in c/[email protected]

If it's ever something you want to try, it's one of the easier servers to self host and there's a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn't any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.

This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I'm happy to be corrected on that, though.

They probably spent more than $250 in labor just filing and sustaining this dumbfuck fine.

"I Made a 32-bit Computer Inside Terraria" (www.youtube.com)
 

This is pretty fucking banana sandwich. Very impressive and may even help you understand compsci a bit better.

Here's an AI generated summary of the video:

In the video "I Made a 32-bit Computer Inside Terraria," the creator shares their remarkable accomplishment of constructing a fully functional 32-bit computer simulation within the popular game Terraria. They utilized the game's wiring mechanics to create complex circuits and successfully developed a computer capable of executing instructions and storing data. The video mentions future plans to create a simplified version of Terraria within the game as the next milestone. The project is open-source and can be found on GitHub for further exploration.

Just redacted 13 years of interaction and helping people on Reddit (toad.work)
 

It honestly feels good. I have been mentally divorced from reddit since they doubled down on their API fuckery. I enjoyed my time there but, at this point, I don't have the energy to move anywhere but forward. I'm glad to have stripped Reddit of my content.

Here's to starting another life. I hope we can make it a good one.

(URGENT) Lemmy has an XSS vulnerability in the sidebar (toad.work)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/923025

lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.

It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.

If you host a feed reader (or just use one a lot), Morss is amazing (morss.it)
 

Got the suggestion from a comment yesterday (I'll link when I find it) and I'd been using FreshRSS on it's own for a long time. Morss is a godsend for feeds that like to give you only the headline. It's also especially awesome for the Hackernews and Lobsters feeds because it will expand the posted links for you which I appreciate a great deal. Hosting it takes like 3 seconds and it's so worth it.

If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware (toad.work)

There are a lot of reasons not to give them your money. They're assholes to the maker community and they openly talk shit on a lot of their customer base. That's beside the point, though, really.

It's just not a spectacular option for hosting. In order to get a Rpi competitive with even the shittiest laptop from 7 years ago, you're going to end up spending more than you would spend on a decent laptop from 7 years ago.

If it is a computer that turns on, it will likely function orders of magnitude better than an Rpi and won't bind you to ARM architecture. My entire hosting setup was pulled out of a recycling pile for free. Install ubuntu/ubuntu server and enjoy yourself.

If you intend on spending any amount of money on this hobby, I cannot express enough how much I recommend against any of that money going toward a Raspberry Pi.

EDIT: A lot of you seem to be reading this as "Raspberry Pis are all nonfunctional" and getting mad about it. Don't do that.

Edit 2: Good to see that all the stupid parts of reddit made it here
