Ugh, not again. I know which forum this is talking about. I wish morons would stop bothering and trying to destroy about the only place where chroically suicidal people have found some sense of community they can relate to, while telling themselves they are doing good. These people already have it bad enough. For some that community is about the only thing that keeps them going.

It’s certainly not a universal thing either, no other language I know does it.
Once I asked on linguistics (or maybe English language) stackexchange about the origins of it, but it got deleted as duplicate of a related but definitely different question. Most satisfying stackexchange interaction

These bastards haven’t MITMed half the internet for nothing. This isn’t the first time they abuse that either.
I hate that I once fell for it too when I just started out hosting stuff and put it behind their proxy.

- Comment on Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands 1 month ago:
Hm, yeah, didn’t think about shitrags’ willingness to write misleading headlines to generate outrage/clicks.
They could make it completely detached from iCloud instead and allow using some generic API like WebDAV, so it can be used with Nextcloud for example. Plus potential DAV extensions or a new protocol and iOS API (or extend File Provider) if it needs anything specialized (it most likely does).

At this point if the Ai thinks we should be exterminated? I’ve no counter-argument that is based outside of a desire to want to live…
People’s right to self-determination over their lives maybe? This is no better than the fascists wanting to kill whatever their “undesirable” minoroty of the day is.

The server list is still there fwiw. But yeah the matchmaking update was awful.

Nothing they can backdoor when the data (and encryption) is out of their control, is there?
- Comment on Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands 1 month ago:
The very funny thing Apple could do in response to this is allow people to self-host iCloud data storage. They do make privacy a huge part of their advertising after all. The chances of this happening are astronomically low though.

Swift is pretty close. I’ve been trying it out recently after writing years of Rust and it’s been great so far (and pretty much completely eliminates the big tooling complaints I have about Rust…).
- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 1 month ago:
It’s slow but stagnation is a disingenuous way of putting it. www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
NAT brings no security, especially in this scenario. If you want to prevent malicious software from opening ports, you use a public facing firewall on your gateway. Which you should have for IPv4 as well.
- Comment on selfhosting mail server on nixos 2 months ago:
I run Postfix, Dovecot and rspamd on my server. The configuration is here: git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/…/polaris
There’s also the Simple NixOS Mailserver project which is an abstraction on top of these and has a few more things. I’ve never used it myself though.
Of course, you also have to set up all the standard email setup like DKIM, DMARC, SPF and so on here.

Yes, the link on the site has a typo at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9BWXvn-rB4s. Seems like YouTube will correct it automatically though, which is probably why it wasn’t caught.
(Besides, if you don’t want to use YT, why not go with the PeerTube one?)

True. I knew I should have left that as “NFS 4” because someone would comment this. From what I’ve read (never used it), NFS 3 is very different to 4 and also just kind of not worth using, especially just for Windows, since it has no security at all.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Please just use Kerberos instead of fiddling with uids. It’s the only sane way to get NFS access controls and user mapping. Works on both Linux and macOS (but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway).
I’d say you can run the Kerberos KDC on the NAS but if Synology has some locked down special OS you’ll need another machine for that.
Unfortunately SMB is so screwed that you can’t reuse ordinary Kerberos for authentication there, which is unfortunate if you want to have both that and NFS. I’ve yet to look into whether Samba AD can be used for both.
