ShittyKopper [they/them]

Reminder: ButtFish is a thing

It’s just 42.zip

(Funnily enough, the Cisco in-house messaging and video calling solution we use at my work, through which we also receive landline calls, is still running on XMPP to this day, so I sorta became a XMPP user after all…except I haven’t started this software in 10 months because fuck landline calls and we have better alternatives for chatting.)

XMPP is still chugging along on the backends of stuff like that. I’m not sure but I think WhatsApp has some XMPP in it still.

The most ironic one though is Jitsi, which is what Matrix uses/used (until they started working on Element Calls) to do video calls.

Thoughts, prayers, and getting the low hanging fruit down (disabling root login, ssh public keys, updates)

As long as .world doesn’t defederate them back, Beehaw can re-federate whenever they want.

To be fair, PHP has slowly been getting it’s shit together since PHP 7, and 8 seems to be in a reasonably great shape compared to the horrors of 5.6

On the software side, we already have PeerTube. It’s just the logistics of hosting video are way too expensive for most people to be able to cover:

• You need drives to store all those videos, preferably in several quality and codec variants so everyone can watch them.
• You need the bandwidth to serve all those videos. PeerTube can “smooth over” the initial new upload bump by using WebTorrents, which is the least worst solution if you quietly ignore all the “but muh IP address” people, but once people stop watching at the same time, you’re back to square one.
• Transcoding requires powerful and specialized hardware. Nobody in their right mind will serve videos the same way they’re uploaded, especially with the rise of new codecs like VP9 or god forbid AV1, which you simply can’t encode on a consumer CPU unless you’re fine waiting hours/days for a single upload to go through.

Most of Beehaw’s blocks are “generic ActivityPub assholes”, which, before the Reddit migration, was really just the worst of the worst of Mastodon, Pleroma, Soapbox, and Miss/Calc/???Key instances, with the occasional PeerTube thrown in.

They likely just imported one of the common blocklists and moved on with their lives, which really should be “how to secure your community 101” but most Lemmy admins haven’t seem to have gotten the memo yet.

I’m patiently waiting for the day those assholes realize most of Lemmy is open ground for them to shit in, boy that’s gonna be a fun few days.

just pirate them too. no reason to touch the garbage pile of shady resellers at all

the modern games equivalent to this is:

how much money the developer gets if you buy it off g2a/other shady cheap games sites: 0$
