- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 1 week ago:
I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

It’s something our business does on occasion, as well as a hobby of his.

Quick update: talked to my boss and he’ll be moving it “soon”. I think I’ll just wfh for the rest of the day.

- Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy? 7 months ago:
I think there’s an update with that but I’m not entirely sure.
- Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy? 7 months ago:
Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:
- a default sort that favors smaller communities
- better onboarding for users that guides them into discovering new communities
- giving recommendations to other similar communities
With that being said, I don’t think the current Lemmy devs would prioritize any of these.

- Comment on Ziply Fiber launches 50-Gig residential service for $900 per month 7 months ago:
I’ve had Ziply Fiber before (but not 50 Gbps) and would max their upload and they didn’t even bat an eye. It’s the only ISP that I would ever recommend.
- Comment on FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps 7 months ago:
If you had really slow Internet, like smoke signals or semaphores across a nation, you could characterize it as millibit:
1 bit over 1000 seconds = 1 millibit/s.
But yeah, it’s basically meaningless in today’s age for Internet speeds.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 8 months ago:
In college, I used to drink Starbucks’ Via. That instant coffee hits different.
Nowadays, I make either an espresso or a pour over. But I still crave Vias sometimes.
- Comment on OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees 8 months ago:
Not sure what you mean here, this is what the forum post said:
After emailing (admittedly not current best practice), the passwords are hashed and only the hash is stored.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 8 months ago:
Yeah, but SSL/TLS also solves that problem in a standardized way.
In either case, the backend will have the plaintext password regardless of how it’s transmitted.
- Comment on OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees 8 months ago:
But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.
I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.
- Comment on OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees 8 months ago:
People weren’t really nitpicking.
- it’s obviously bad to send an email with a plaintext password
- the website owners had apparently already resolved the issue
- it does not mean the passwords were stored in plaintext
- the OP sounds like a skiddie in a bunch of comments and doesn’t seem to understand how most websites with auth work
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 8 months ago:
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but backend servers will almost always have the user-submitted password in plaintext as a variable, accessible to the backend server and any upstream proxies.
It’s even how it’s done in Lemmy. The bcrypt verify accepts the plaintext password and the salted hash.
- Comment on Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi 9 months ago:
I got a free computer and upgraded the processor to an i7-6700T (eBay) and some old SSDs. It measured around 15W and I haven’t had any problems with it. It is miles ahead of using any Pi or ARM-based SBC.
- Comment on Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine 9 months ago:
I feel like most average people don’t even know alternatives to internet browsers exist, so why would I expect a judge to know? They’re obviously not experts in every field, it’s up to the attorneys to inform them and persuade them one way or another.
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 9 months ago:
My sister, who did her master’s in nutrition or some related field, says multivitamins are a waste of money. She suggests getting bloodwork and seeing if you’re deficient in anything. And if you’re deficient, it’s better to change your diet than buy multivitamins (if possible).
With that being said, I still take a multivitamin…
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 10 months ago:
- founder has donated several thousand dollars in support of anti-gay-marriage groups
- they optionally replace ads on websites with their own ads
- they are associated with crypto schemes (like their own cryptocurrency), and previously had an ftx widget
- they sometimes add affiliate links to the end of urls, so they can collect revenue

Same. Everyone used to rave about how good it was, but I always thought it was just average. Slightly better than the major fast food chains, but on-par with every local chain.
