No probs!

The object man appears behind you while you’re coding and inserts a null reference that takes you a day to find.

Nice

No one forced the democrats to do this:

Desperately needs to read Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Not a Nation of Immigrants

There’s also Plume.

I read through the whole list, and monero was the only decent privacy recomendation I could find. Everything else was US-hosted. A lot of it was just recommendations from Apple and Google on “privacy” services they offer.

No mention of syncthing, matrix, xmpp, even with sections dedicated to those categories.

In the US its impossible to jail the torturers, usually they get rewarded. This case is crazy:

In early 2018, US Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher stabbed a defenseless teenage captive to death in Iraq. According to two SEAL witnesses, Gallagher said over the radio “he’s mine” and walked up to the medic and prisoner, and without saying a word, killed the prisoner by stabbing him repeatedly with his hunting knife. Gallagher and his commanding officer, Lieutenant Jake Portier, then posed for photographs of them standing over the body with some other nearby SEALs. Gallagher then text messaged a friend in California a picture himself holding the dead captive’s head by the hair with the explanation "Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.” After he was imprisoned, Gallagher’s other crimes came to light: fellow soldiers said they witnessed Gallagher shooting and killing an unarmed old man in a white robe, as well as a young girl walking with other girls. Gallagher boasted that he averaged three kills a day over 80 days, including four women. In video interviews with investigators, multiple SEALs described how he would go on solo “gun runs,” emptying loads of heavy machine gun fire into neighborhoods with no apparent targets. “I think he just wants to kill anybody he can,” Corey Scott, a medic from the platoon, told Navy investigators. After his case went public, it became a conservative rallying cry: A website soliciting donations for his defense raised > $375k, and a prominent veterans’ apparel maker sold “Free Eddie” T-shirts. Spurred on by his family, 40 Republican members of Congress signed a letter in March calling for the Navy to free him, and soon after, US President Trump had him released from prison to house arrest. In July, 2019, he was acquitted of all charges. Gallagher was one of three military personnel accused or convicted of war crimes on whose behalf Trump had intervened to pardon or promote. Trump told a rally audience days after his intervention, “I stuck up for three great warriors against the deep state.” Gallagher has now started a chain of companies selling clothing and nutritional supplements.

I can’t take any credit for that one. A few months ago I put out a request to various rust programming communities on lemmy, asking if anyone could help make a rust library to use the clearurls data.

@jendrikw did, so now we’re using their crate.

Nothing changed there. The image resolution changes have to do with thumbnails fetched from other sites or servers.

I increased the size of a postgres DB column, and it grinded every query on the table to a halt. Turns out we needed to run analyze on the column.

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5148

I opened up an issue on the postgres issue tracker because I’ve never seen anything like this before, and I’m sure we’re not the only one to run into this production-breaking migration.

We don’t have this in jerboa, as I don’t want to add “custom” features that are only available to jerboa, and not to every app. So this would need to be done in the back end first.

But also just block those communities, and if US spam is spilling over everywhere (like it does on reddit), then report those posts.

No probs! Sry this one took so long. Major props to @[email protected] for finding the bug that was the main blocker, and @[email protected] for suggesting the fix.

Ok a fix is deployed now to lemmy.ml , let me know if you see any issues.

I deployed a fix for that now on lemmy.ml , should be good now.

No probs.

Did you look at the modlog? They’re open here.

Please report those also, so we can ban them.

8-core 16GB VPS, although we are one of the larger servers. Most smaller servers would probably be fine with 2-core 512mb.
