I'd probably do libsnorble and then snorblite, mainly just because I prefer C, don't mind source distribution and the rest sound cursed for one reason or another.

🤔, I must not have the mind virus then as 127.0.0.1 does not loopback on my machines. Victory? Also I'd just like to point out that while hostnames can contain _ they're not supposed to as it's reserved for special purposes like SRV records.

So far things seem a lot better. I'm getting posts in my feed from communities that I haven't gotten anything for in months

I suppose, I figured most sysadmins had run it for funsies at least once...or a few times LOL.

It's funny because you can tell whoever wrote this has never run that command. You need to either put --no-preserve-root OR /*. Using /* obviates the need for the flag --no-preserve-root.

Probably is for me too. This is something I've taken for granted as I work for a small company and I am the IT admin...and development team lead, I wear lots of hats. Not the owner though, basically like a CTO+.

Honestly it blows my mind that my bank doesn't support TOTP, they used to support email but recently removed that, they do support mobile push to their app so I usually use that but when you want to sign into the mobile app? Have to use SMS can't very well push notify the app being signed into, no choice, very silly.

For some reason my brain thought your first wallpaper was a red and blue colored Africa and when I finally realized it was a head I was very confused as to what happened

Ah yes, the wait for a random bit flip to magically increment your counter method. Takes a very long time

My eyes!! I'm not sure how you can actually use that wallpaper, it'd mess with me

That's weird 🤔

EDIT: I'm actually wondering if I've seen this picture before used for something else, I am now scouring my memes folder to see if that's what it is.

🤔 the black hair girl looks familiar, can't place her though

That's interesting, I suppose there are advantages to that. I personally believe those advantages don't outweigh the downsides of forcing users to run code in their browsers but that's an interesting perspective.

Is that really easier than just responding to clicking things server side? Again I fully understand there are some use cases where that's just not possible but in my, admittedly limited, web development experience you can get a whole heck of a lot done server side with no JS at all

Discord I get because it's real time chat. Gmail I get less so, it has some real time chat stuff but the core functionality could be done with far less JS IMO. Maybe I just feel that way because I'm a JS minimalist. Unless the website's core function needs JS(real time chat etc) I'm a firm believer you should be able to disable JS and the website should not break.

As someone who believes in, deploys, and locally validates DNSSEC I disagree with your meme lol.

This is funnier than the joke

It isn't really future proofing, it's becoming increasingly important now. IANA exhausted their v4 supply in 2011, most RIRs followed shortly after. I believe Africa is the only region left with available IPv4 addresses. Depending on where you live and how big your ISP is even having a v4 address is iffy. A lot of smaller ISPs already put customers behind a double NAT. NATs in general add latency to connections and make inbound connections difficult. A good dual stack network typically has lower v6 latency. There are also several popular server hosts that charge extra for IPv4 connectivity because of the increasing scarcity. An IPv4 address on AWS is more expensive than their cheapest server offering for example. This means using APIs for v4 only services can add an uncesscary cost burden to consumers of the API depending on their needs. Ultimately it's not important for this website because it's a joke but it's important for anything serious.

Keep in mind that back in 1980 when IPv4 was introduced there were more people than IP addresses. Even in 1980 it was impossible for every person to get just a single address. For the job IPv4 was given of connecting the world it actually failed out of the gate from a certain perspective. IPv4 was never adequate for the task we gave it and over time it's only become less adequate. It's a tad silly that v6 was introduced in 1995 and is still the "protocol of the future."

Anyway, rant over, see this nifty website, they provide shame as a service lol. https://whynoipv6.com/

IPvFoo, that extension is installed on every system I have including my phone.

So does sr.ht, really do just be github
