You’re thinking of BD-R: BD-RE can be rewritten/erased hundreds of times

I totally agree, though I wrote this in the context of OPs post specifically saying (emphasis mine):

I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

Scrolled through the thread long enough and I still only see people blaming stigma and capitalism but… Those are just the end effects.

It’s plain toxic masculinity:

• A man must be strong
• Independence is a sign of strength
• Living with your parents is dependence (for good or for bad is irrelevant)
• ipso facto, according to toxic masculinity, guys who live with their parents are weak and not “real men”

Yep, the other workaround that’s elsewhere in this thread is to set up an entry with a different authoritative DNS in the hosts file, allowing a single machine to resolve the old domain manually.

This could be part of a greater effort, basically asking other instances to help the users evacuate the instance and transfer their accounts, before running tootctl self-destruct

OP, this title is stupidly misleading and incorrect, you should change it immediately.

The Taliban seized the DOMAIN, aka the ownership of the queer.af name that people could type into their browsers, and their system would resolve into an IP address.

As the Taliban control Afghanistan, (see where the domain comes from), this was inevitable and the instance owners were already planning to retire the instance as they didn’t want to give money to the Taliban to keep it up.

The INSTANCE, aka the physical server, was not in Afghanistan, and still has its IP address(es), and so has had absolutely nothing happen to it.

It can also be used to make methamphetamine.

Damn, Steamboat Willie going into public domain really has Disney tightening the purse strings /s

An API token is more secure than a password by virtue of it not needing to be typed in by a human. Phishing, writing down passwords, and the fact that API tokens can have restricted scopes all make them more secure.

Expiration on its own doesn’t make it more secure, but it can if it’s in the context of loading the token onto a system that you might lose track of/not have access to in the future.

Individual API tokens can also be revoked without revoking all of them, unlike a password where changing it means you have to re-login everywhere.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Lmk if you have questions, though.

Right?? To let your website be susceptible to that kind of act by anyone means that you probably didn’t really care about security in the first place, so much as just getting the magic lock icon happy.

No, it absolutely wasn’t, as can testify anyone who actually had to work with it: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/the-death-of-adobes-flash-is-lingering-not-sudden/

There are lots of good reasons to get rid of Flash. Browser makers say it’s a top sore spot for security, performance and shorter battery life.

Usability means a few things in this context—simplicity, ease of use, convention, and accessibility. Flash was none of those things. It took the blank-canvas approach to creativity—which was great for the artists and illustrators that originally made up its target audience, but morphed into numerous other forms that it wasn’t necessarily designed for. It fell into overuse and quickly became abused by others.

I do think it sped up the demise of Flash on the web considerably.

That’s unironically an innovation right there

Thank you for actually attempting to answer the question instead of just spouting the knee-jerk reaction of “it’s bullshit”.

And yes, maybe it is bullshit. Maybe they’ll never end up actually offsetting their carbon footprint. Maybe they’ll think they are, but end up getting scammed out themselves. Last Week Tonight did a great piece on Carbon Offsets on that whole subject.

Yeah the headline is stupid bait.

They already built it. They’re trying to contribute the change upstream.

Which is technically “requesting higher core support”, but is a very obnoxious way to phrase it.

Fully agreed, hence the “most” :^)

I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.

This isn’t much different.

This honestly a very well-written article

I think said lonely people would rather chat with a boring therapist than with assholes on the internet who don’t even make the slightest attempt to empathize
