Yes.

Chaotic evil: Send SIGSEGV

I’m a Loss Prevention Manager.

I just wanted to know how computers worked when I was fairly young. Like, I’d open a web browser and look at the homepage, and think “But how does the computer know how to draw all this stuff?” As in, how do you take an image of something from real life, and over the internet put that image on somebody’s screen for them to see? Or how does it know what to do when I click this icon and run a program?

I found out about a popular programming language called C++, asked my parents to buy me a book on it while we were at the book store. Learned a lot, moved on to other languages for other things I wanted to do. It’s still a fun hobby, but I never opted to make a career out of it.

The RIAA’s lawyers will be there to take that bird for everything it has.

Oxygen makes iron turn into rust, don’t let that be your lungs. Oppose Big Oxygen.

This site has a bunch of samples in various programming languages for an X11 Hello World, including Assembly.

The user never had much choice to begin with. If I write a program using version 1.2.3 of a library, then my application is going to need version 1.2.3 installed. But how the user gets 1.2.3 depends on their system, and in some cases, they might be entirely unable unless they grab a flatpak or appimage. I suppose it limits the ability to write shims over those libraries if you want to customize something at that level, but that’s a niche use-case that many people aren’t going to need.

In a static linked application, you can largely just ship your application and it will just work. You don’t need to fuss about the user installing all the dependencies at the system level, and your application can be prone to less user problems as a result.

My instance is currently at 19GB after running for about 3 months.

The only thing I really miss is doing data calculations in Google because I have shitty Internet and I want to know how many hours I’ve gotta let this thing download before I get my bandwidth back.

At this point, the community is clean. So unless more is posted, then you should be good. If someone searched for the community and caused a preview to load while the content was active though, then it could be an issue.

From what I was informed, purging a post doesn’t remove the associated cached data. So I didn’t take any chances.

Not really. You could technically locate the images and determine precisely which ones they are from their filenames, but that means you actually have to view the images long enough to pull the URL. I had no desire to view them for even a moment, and just universally removed them.

As mentioned in my edit above though, ensure you are in compliance with local regulations when dealing with the material in case you have to do any preservation for law enforcement or something.

I’m on 1.18.4, once I deleted the most recent images, the former CSAM posts(among others) became broken images. So yes, it was pulling from local disk cache. Then I took care of the posts themselves after the content was invalidated.

No, copyright systems really are just that stupid if they want to avoid liability.

Only in the past handful of years was it no longer made illegal to sneeze in public here in Texas.

It was an old holdover law from when sneezing might spook someone’s horse. Not enforced for obvious reasons, though.

Reminds me of Obsidian, which is what I use for notes. But obsidian isn’t selfhosted. I might actually host a copy of that because it’s cool

You can host a webmail like roundcube or similar. I don’t know if they can be turned into PWAs with phone notifications though.

Probably about as many as ever, I think. They might have more instant feedback than previously on how popular their works are, but there are plenty of pre-internet creatives who pursued their art and had nothing to show for it even into their deaths. Many of the same self-justifications they used then can still apply now, even with the Internet around giving them feedback.
