  • oh look, the thing they told us would never happen when this shit was installed

    the creep is real.

    thought for the day: is thin wedge always a fallacy when it's always fucking coming true?

  • I fucking hate this timeline.

    my first thought as well....how did we get to the point that this is a valid topic?

    (not a comment about you OP, just the state of the world)

  • it's funny, i visited there once with a friend, we also discussed fairies in that area. i wonder what is the cause of such a seeming coincidence.

  • to reduce attack-surface, if there's no reason for the port to be open, don't open it.

  • while the most bare bones knocking implementation may be classed as obscurity, there's certainly plenty of implementations which i wouldn't class as obscurity.

  • People iterate through all the IPv4 addresses since there are only 4,294,967,296 possible addresses. There are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible IPv6 addresses

    i love your thinking!!

    do you have a backup in case you accidentally find yourself locked out from an ipv4-only network?

  • can you pls explain what you mean in more depth?

    your original post is sufficiently vague that tbh i don't blame people for assuming you were just bootlicking? [which probably says more about the state of the world than you as an individual, but honestly it's not clear what you're trying to say?]

    we all know a random citizen/local business presenting an identical calibre of evidence of repeated crimes would be extremely unlikely to routinely receive this degree of resource allocation.

    so if it's an idealised aspirational universal "order" you're talking about then obviously noone's buying it - and i don't think you are either. so what do you mean?

  • searching for 'phpbb

    <topic name>

    ' can usually bring up a few struggling to dead forums for niche communities which are being sadly absorbed into bigtech monoliths

  • no, that illustration apparently came 12 years later

    anyway as an 1800s fairy tale for children, imo i think it's fine to view it through the lens of whichever culture you want. the trouble imo begins when trying to ascribe something to the story which it certainly did not contain - even that is probably basically harmless if you're just confused or something, but it certainly becomes a problem when it's used to justify unfairly shitting on someone else for a slightly different yet completely harmless alternative depiction.

  • it's even worse than that cos the original text never said ariel's human version race, they just assumed it lol.

    and before anyone says yes but its written by a dane, my response is yes but it's a fairy tale, anything is possible. why assume and then get angry based on your assumption?

  • well yeah most of its operating software was derived from opensource projects, but capitalists exploited those opensource project without giving much if anything back, so…

  • this is absolutely true and good observations.

    i especially appreciate your point about the full experience of the cliffhanger.

    this episodic storytelling format is ingrained in us, possibly for a very long time, but at least since the printing press flourished and episodic publications became popular and the illiterate would gather round those who would read aloud the latest episodes as they came out.

    then came radio and families would gather around the radio listen to the weekly shows and discuss the possible outcomes of the cliffhanger with their friends and workmates etc. it was already very well ingrained into our society and culture by the time we were experiencing it.

    in some ways i do like not having to wait, but it certainly removes layers of the experience as you've articulated well.

  • a ridiculous number of arguments are because people misunderstand what they're actually arguing over.

    it's crazy how helpful it can be to stop, and check what they meant before responding to it.

    apart from the obvious benefits, it can also make a nice pause for everyone to calm just a little, and also shows you're making an effort to understand which can be helpful too.

  • tar pits target the scrapers.

    were you talking also about poisoning the training data?

    two distinct (but imo highly worthwhile) things

    tar pits are a bit like turning the tap off (or to a useless trickle). fortunately it’s well understood how to do it efficiently and it’s difficult to counter.

    poisoning is a whole other thing. i’d imagine if nothing comes out of the tap the poison is unlikely to prove effective. there could perhaps be some clever ways to combine poisoning with tarpits in series, but in general they’d be deployed separately or at least in parallel.

    bear in mind to meaningfully deploy a tar pit against scrapers you usually need some permissions on the server, it may not help too much for this exact problem in the article (except for some short term fuckery perhaps). poisoning this problem otoh is probably important

  • anywhere shit gets cliquey it gets toxic real fast - and that goes for ANY and ALL organisations.

    safe-space concepts often inherently deals with an "us/them" dichotomy, which is unfortunately fertile ground for things getting cliquey.

    it's not that one must lead to the other, its just that the foundation is there so the risk is higher if it's not managed properly.

    this is why safe-spaces need to be protected from within and without. regardless of whether you're in the clique or out of it, it hurts everyone in the end.

  • who?

  • where/how/what are you eating copper which permits you to taste it?
