Bash by default limits history to ~1000 items iirc, and doesn’t store anything but the command itself

Basically: record every song you listen to, and when you listen to it (plus some more metadata), and then add it to a giant public dataset. Open source software then uses that to make music recommendations based on your and other people’s listening, and to give you interesting stats about your listening.

That kind of captcha is trivial to bypass via frequency analysis. Text that looks like language, as opposed to random noise, is very statistically recognisable.

Matrix file limits are server-dependent, usually enforced for the uploader only. If you run a server you can set it to several gigabytes lol

Alteernatively, use a tool designed for file transfer: https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570256bb3b2

I run a service that gets attacked by AI bots, and while PoW isn’t the only way to do things, none of your suggestions work at all.

‘refuse to provide packages’

Open source devs usually are volunteers, you can’t expect them to spend hours figuring out different packaging systems for repos they don’t even use 😭

This is due to systems generators allowing Podman to plug in to that system

Honestly, this just seems like a consequence of alternative init systems not keeping up

Yep, that’s the point described in the linked paper - traffic goes via the same domains used for their app, and the messenger is embedded in their app

Wayland is basically X12 in many ways

To go on top of the reverse DNS/mail comments, it can also be useful for running a service like codeburg pages, or some other program that handles its own virtual hosting and TLS, without interfering with your more traditional services.

Stalwart recently released CalDAV & CardDAV support, and it’s what I use for mail. It’s pretty secure by default too.

Talon is closed source, What’s available on GitHub is the community command set - effectively just configuration

I finally dealt with the AI scrapers hammering my Forgejo instance - https://jade.ellis.link/blog/2025/05/18/actually-stopping-forgejo-ai-scraping Hopefully next week I’ll be able to get back to actually programming Continuwuity rather than fighting fires.

The problem (as matrix people found out the hard way) is some media & content is very illegal. Most individuals really don’t want even the chance of being exposed to CSAM or gore, and neither do server operators want the chance of that being shared from their server or written to their disk when that can result in police at the door. You need default-on moderation that is very powerful, and end users should never be distributing media they don’t want to. This pushes towards centralisation of nodes run by experts, and heavily punishes true P2P models.

Windows licenses ain’t cheap. Never have been.

Generated by opening an OPML export in firefox, running the following script and deleting a bunch of feeds:

 "- " + [...document.querySelectorAll("body > outline > outline")].map((f) => `[${f.getAttribute("text")}](${f.getAttribute("htmlUrl")}) \`${f.getAttribute("xmlUrl")}\``).join("\n- ") 

I use https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/ for my server/website. My host doesn’t offer it as an image so I have to upload it myself, but I use an ISO I made with the CLI to automatically set up everything anyway. It works pretty well, I configured auto updates and I can just forget about it.
