Your entire post sounds like user-problem? I’ve only experienced one false-alarm in my entire life… and that was because I had a guest who assumed I’d be okay with her smoking in my living room.

Among many other examples such as IPRED. In a weird way, I’m glad that such an awful directive blatantly states its purpose, instead of all the other “think about the children/terrorists/whatnot”…

Ah, I got in. Just like the Swedish king, I’m actually dyslexic haha.

I’d love to be able to disable animations though. And be able to zoom when viewing image posts. And be able to view NSFW by holding in on the main feed (it seems like holding in on any image copies it to my Android clipboard?). And opening links via WebView or such instead of Chrome custom tabs could be cool, as I like how it’s basically a fresh session every time. And swiping to upvote is nice too.

(I know you didn’t ask for feedback, because it’s still really nice how it is now; just some ideas if you’re bored – no idea if it’s practical it’d even be implement this kind of stuff inwhat I think is a progressive webapp?) Keep up the great work! /Sent from my Blorp

Looks really nice! But do you have any debug for logging in? I’m 100% certain that I’m logging in correctly, but it says invalid login every time.

second question, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down: neither ctrl+z nor ctrl+q work and opening htop to kill the process seems overkill. What I now do is to simply shut the active tab, but there must be a faster way.

Ctrl+C.

wtf I love Norway now? Sweden is at like 2%.

But Norway’s Linux spiked up to almost 30% in July 2024 as well. So I don’t really trust these sites. My guess is that it’s due to Tesla’s web browser or something? Tesla is the most popular electric car brand in Norway: 77k Model Y and 50k Model 3 are registered, and the only model with higher numbers is the Nissan Leaf with 81k, but that’ll be taken over very shortly (so far in 2025, there have been over 11k Model Y registrations, with the next runner-up being the Toyota BZ4X with 4,6k)

I mean, that’s kinda like RHEL if you pay for the “self-service” subscription?

What, do you ask your coworkers such questions? Unless it’s their entire personality, it doesn’t really get revealed in normal conversation…?

I worked with a guy for over a year and I never would have guessed it, until I saw FurAffinity come up as a suggestion in his browser once.

Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

Long story short: The test worked. We found out what that system was used for. Rather quickly.

But what was it used for?!?!? What a cliffhanger.

they don’t allow VPNs

Most likely to reduce the risk of ban-evading cheaters/griefers. Plus that most people usually avoid using a VPN when playing such games, due to the risk of increased latency.

For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned.

All of these plugins initiate only an IP ban, so the person is able to rejoin with their “real” IP address.

But you’ve actually tried asking for your Steam ID to be whitelisted? Shame that their admins don’t know how to/don’t want to do it.

Why not ask the server admin to whitelist your Steam ID? If you’re apparently a “regular” and don’t cause problems, I don’t see why they wouldn’t whitelist you.

Sweden having fewer than 1% black people

Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

It could also be some IDN tricks. Most browsers translate mixed scripts into punycode nowadays, but it can be easy to get tricked. Just go to their official site if you’re unsure.

For example: https://prοtοn.me/ looks like a normal link… but the O’s have been replaced with the Greek letter omicron.

Unless you have somehow managed to get the source code, no, Plex is not free software unfortunately!

Plex Inc has a central auth server, and your media server automatically creates a dynamic hostname for connecting to your server’s IP. And if the user can’t reach the server directly for some reason (NAT for example), Plex has a “relay server” that works as a proxy, but your quality gets reduced to like 320p or something.

So if Plex Inc shut down their auth servers suddenly (or have downtime, which happened a couple years ago), you won’t be able to do much. It’s possible to bypass the central auth, but no one does it, because such auto-discovery is one of Plex’s benefits – user logs in on their app, and it shows all their possible servers. But otherwise, it’s self-hosted.

You can disable most of that stuff on Plex. But yeah, Jellyfin is nicer anyways as it’s free software.

Think like this: for our sooo beloved politicians and legal systems, everything in life is seen as a transaction. Due to the fact that I’ve paid my “private copying tax” or whatever you want to call it, I therefore have the right to make private copies and share them with limited groups of people. If they want to restrict those rights that I have paid for, they would “need” to remove the tax – but they will never do that because it’s tons of free money.

But if they did get rid of the tax, there’s no longer that “transaction”, and therefore there’s nothing hindering them from criminalizing private copying. Sweden is already USA’s lapdog in all other regards, so you can bet it’d be repealed quickly.

I don’t support copyright laws either, nor follow them, but I can appreciate how it’s currently set up here, simply because it would otherwise become much much worse. At least here, normal people can do what they want without worrying about getting a legally binding order to pay 700€+ in damages like the Germans get.

No, it’s ackshully a private copying levy. I get what you mean, but it’s a “good” thing, because otherwise 12 § upphovsrättslagen probably wouldn’t exist anymore:

Var och en får för privat bruk framställa ett eller några få exemplar av offentliggjorda verk. Såvitt gäller litterära verk i skriftlig form får exemplarframställningen dock endast avse begränsade delar av verk eller sådana verk av begränsat omfång. Exemplaren får inte användas för andra ändamål än privat bruk.

Private copying levy. In Sweden, it’s called privatkopieringsersättning.
