Friendly reminder that the AARD code never shipped.

> Every Mastodon instance is slow beyond reason and it’s still confusing to regular users in terms of how it works.

I'll concede the confusing part but all the major Mastodon servers I interact with regularly are pretty quick so I'm not sure where that part comes from.

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye · a year ago
It is not so bad with Mastodon but much fedi software gets slower the longer it's been running. "Akkoma Rot" is the one that's typically most talked about but the universe of misskey forks experiences the same problems, and Mastodon can sometimes absolutely crunch to a halt on 4GB of ram even for a single user instance.

I have seen some pictures shared of vending machines with BSOD.. why would you have an EDR on a vending machine? To protect the valuable assets?!

presumably they handle credit card transactions

You can use http directly for your functions [1]. Or you can create custom http actions [2]. We encourage websocket usage because it allows for reactivity and UI consistency and it plays nicely with reactive frontend frameworks like React etc.

Thank you!

Curious about the choice to send requests with WebSocket connections instead of just plain old POST forms. This precludes anyone with javascript disabled from using any of these sites. I don't think there's anything in the business logic preventing it

Cattle not pets. Carve a new partition with gparted, install new OS, mount the old partition and copy over any valuable data. (Hopefully you have this backed up anyway)
Lt_Riza_Hawkeye · a year ago
Why not chroot in and use your now-connected internet to reinstall systemd?

How would you secretly hide something like that in FOSS? And why would that be easier? It's seems to me that it's easier to inject into an existing company than to do all the work yourself. This is what they do with most things as I understand.

The heartbleed vulnerability was hidden in plain sight for the better part of a decade, no?

VATSIM has traditionally been more US-centric. IVAO[1] is the european "counterpart"

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye · a year ago
While IVAO is more popular in Europe than IVAO is in North America, VATSIM is still more popular in any given region. If you think ATC could be more realistic, or take into consideration anything you think might have been overlooked, I definitely encourage reaching out to your regional vice president. I highly suspect they will share your feelings, but they may be able to expand on what's technically and logistically possible. Sometimes the only barrier is a lack of volunteers! Even VATUSA was without a social media management team lead for several weeks until just a few days ago, due mainly to lack of volunteers.

> if you're using GPL software, you have to publish the modifications. It's pretty simple...

If you redistribute GPLed binaries you have to be willing to provide the source that built that binary, whether it incorporated changes or not, to anyone who asks. “Provide” can include pointing someone at a public repo these days.

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye · 2 years ago
I believe it only has to be provided to recipients of the binaries, so you can still charge money for linux modifications, such as grsec.
Lt_Riza_Hawkeye commented on JetBrains forces AI freemium plugin that cannot be completely removed into IDEs   youtrack.jetbrains.com/is... · Posted by u/drpossum
PreInternet01 · 2 years ago
Oh, come on. It's a high-pressure situation, where they're damned if they don't offer any AI plugins (why are you not as good as X???), and they're damned if they do (why is this freemium crap polluting my otherwise nag-free freeloader experience?)

Things will take a while to settle. Unless your workflow is *truly* broken by the fall-out, save your outrage. And yes, I'm a paying JetBrains customer, don't like their AI offering, but don't really like anyone else's either, so far...

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye · 2 years ago
Sure, but you should at least be able to uninstall the plugin. According to the thread it reinstalls itself on each launch
