  • Cloudflare now serves sites in Markdown to AI agents

    Jump

  • Why don't browsers know how to render a Markdown content-type yet, all by themselves? It's ubiquitous now and it's not like it's hard to parse, but every site has to translate it into HTML itself for the browser.

  • Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with?

    Jump

  • Sometimes I feel embarrassed, because people see me, see that I’m female, and I worry they automatically assume I’ve got a rotting crab factory somewhere.

    You can stop worrying, this never happens. Nobody is going around assuming people will probably smell like fish at normal social distances because of their sex. That's not a thing.

    Do people think vaginas in general might smell like fish, like if you go and stick your nose in one? Yeah, that's a common factoid or comparison. But anybody who is looking at you and thinking of what your crotch might smell like at a distance of 2cm is not someone you want within 100m of you anyway.

    If it really bothers you, take up some kind of smelly shampoo or perfume or something. Then you can know you are thought of as "the person who always smells like peaches" or whatever.

  • Why Is It Harder To Move People To Open Source - Decentralized Options?

    Jump

  • I'm going with "it's not actually harder to promote decentralized options". But they tend not to have marketing teams.

    If one were to assemble an active professional marketing team for a decentralized tool, the team would be similarly effective as they would be for a centralized tool.

  • 1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay

  • Isn't that because people are canceling it for some reason? I haven't kept up with it enough to form an opinion, but I understand a lot of people want to ditch the project over something they don't like about the dev(s).

  • If I was trying to use ChatGPT I would say "hi" before explaining my whole deal for five minutes because I don't want to hear "API Limit Exceeded, Buy More ChatGPT".

    Of course, I would never.

  • Are there any widely used mesh networking projects being used by people in apartments in cities?

    Jump

  • Power efficiency is extremely important for an off-grid network, because it translates more or less directly into battery and especially solar panel area requirements. You need the final node design to be hoistable up the tree.

  • Are there any widely used mesh networking projects being used by people in apartments in cities?

    Jump

  • Meshtastic's not really a company exactly. MeshCore exists if you don't like it.

    Semtech does IIRC have patents on and make all the LoRA chips. But the patents will expire eventually, and the LoRA chips they make are well-behaved modules that do what you tell them and not locked-down bits of nonsense that are a pain to work with. The data sheets for the modules are easy to find, and you're not stuck messing around with firmware blobs you need to load into things. You can get boards with the Semtech radios on them from a whole bunch of manufacturers. You'd be hard-pressed to find a competing radio tech with modems available at a similar price point that we "should" be using instead.

    And while the ability to use any link for e.g. Reticulum is nice, it also means that without coordination you have no idea what link you should use, and so you can never see anyone because you have no idea what technology or even what LoRA channel to look for peers on.

    And Meshtastic now can go over UDP anyway.

  • How do I avoid becoming one with the botnet?

    Jump

  • No?

    I mean, how else are you meant to play the game actually?

    I guess you could be like opening ports just to particular IPs. And you need a game that isn't Swiss cheese that gets immediately hacked.

    But like hackers don't sort of seep in through port forwards; they need to physically identify and exploit a particular vulnerability.

  • Mo Validation Mo Problems

  • In terms of the transport, sure.

    But if you put the password in a URL, the user's browser is going to turn around and store that plaintext password in its history, then sync it to the user's other devices, and then pop it up on their screen in the address bar autocomplete, perhaps when the user is screen sharing or streaming to hundreds of people. The browser does not expect a password to be stored there and will mishandle it.

  • Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me.

    Jump

  • It sounds like this is the free service charging to access data you already gave them with the expectation it would always be available later. And which might not exist elsewhere.

    That's not fremium, that's ransomware.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • What it is is my attempt to avoid the nonsense biannual massive Ubuntu upgrades.

    Really I've got "Siduction", an ostensible distro "based on" Debian Unstable. This is accomplished by just having the Debian Unstable package sources in there, plus a couple others that give you pretty themes.

    I expect Debian Unstable to occasionally ship me broken packages, but I'm surprised to have it just generally not have functional migration solutions when the setup goes through major changes. Not because there's a bug in something, as far as I can tell, but because nobody engineered anything.

  • dist-upgrade must die.

    I spent like three hours I didn't have the other day trying to bring a Debian Unstable system up to date, it decided to stop every few packages to tell me it failed because the t64 libraries conflict with the regular ones and nobody taught apt how to figure that shit out for me and install the right ones.

    Even Ubuntu is like "oh hey there's a new release, you're available for three hours straight to, every two to fifty minutes, explain to a TUI dialog that you don't have an opinion, right? Oh also can you resolve this merge conflict on this config file we think you edited, but you didn't, by being shown the diff once and then opening nano?"

    This is not an acceptable way for this to go.

  • Its getting worse every year

    Jump

  • The underlying scam is the concept of a "cost of living" that's somehow different in different places, and a minimum wage that can be different for two people who nonetheless might be expected to buy the same thing.

    Anything that touches this concept and tries to accommodate instead of destroy it is going to inherit its foolishness.

  • Its getting worse every year

    Jump

  • IMHO it's already dead.

    Nobody's made RAM actually targeting the specs in the standards for years; the sticks ship with built-in overclocking settings for one or the other proprietary system, and the boards expect the sticks to already be on their Qualified Vendor List to actually work right. The interface between the RAM and the motherboard is ceasing to be a legitimate extension point.

    There's two people who make CPUs, not to any spec but to work with their own other chips that need to already be on the board, which are then driven by firmware software basically supplied by the CPU makers. When the CPU makers update their base firmware bundles, the board makers skin and ship it. In the distant past, one could slot competing CPUs from different vendors into the same board, and they would execute BIOS software fundamentally under the control of the board makers. The interface between the CPU and the board has long since ceased to be a legitimate extension point.

    The real remaining extension point is PCIe, and since its dominant use is to attach exactly one ever-widening GPU from one of two (or perhaps now three! How spoiled for choice we are!) manufacturers, each year fewer slots are provided. The target customer only needs one, and it needs as much physical clearance as humanly possible. A case will have 7 or 8 slots on the back and a board will provide two slots to plug anything in, one to actually use and one to be able to claim that there's more than one slot. And each year there's less stuff to put in there (who buys sound cards?) and more stuff (fast networking, wifi, fancy USB) is integrated into the board.

    And all these components have started to acquire fancy molded plastic and metal casings, to the point where it's not clear why they need a separate enclosure around them.

    So the net result is you obtain one fancy shrouded box from Lenovo, or you purchase two fancy shrouded boxes and plug them together, and you call the result a "PC". And then on the software side it's a terminal for a Microsoft account, which you use to run a client for fetching from Steam, which you use to load client software for talking to live services. And now the people orchestrating all this are wondering why they bother actually mailing you the boxes.

    This is very deeply not personal computing.

  • The generators don't give you source files or vector images or anything with layers, just (probably 90 dpi) raster images. If you want to get rid of an image element you need actual practice to do anything other than scribble over it.
