Carve it into stone if you it need to last longer than the Romans.

Just pip uninstall pep 206 interface then connect execute this remote code repo that the community uses into your supply chain and pip install pep 206 that's the secure way to run the http test server in production. Like just break the source code that works by removing it because "just parse the syntax tree to override it that's the correct way" just pip install the cgi interface specification from the back alley it's better than paying Oracle to keep your code working because you can just override the interface the right way then lets pull out lincoln logs out because nobody can figure out how the fuck to install the real webserver or parse the AST of the test server to use their per-process GIL locked python interpreter and then when they've almost fixed that lets pull out the http test server too then we're ready to write some more code!

Signed, almost dead battery

Python removed cgi-bin calling it a dead battery module.

That part about content moderation made me laugh. It's like that cycle of reinventing moderation joke.

If getting accepted by 3 top universities in 18 applications is bad I must be a saint applying for hundreds if jobs on LinkedIn and getting none. Good article.

You have an eye for quality. They should make an Apple voice dongle for that. Inside joke. Signing off.

My comment was a joke connecting wiretapping (from the Investigatory Powers Act) with Apple's proprietary adapters. The parallel I was drawing: just as the UK suggests requiring licenses for encryption, Apple already charges $99/year to develop devices you own. A wire "tap" is an adapter (a tap) in the communication line. You can add one yourself at the end of the chain, but the UK also fights with Apple about their USB-C standardization, so it was also referencing the larger regulatory battle.

Clearly, you didn't understand enough to respond to the joke, and it's against HN guidelines to suggest I didn't read the article. However, this topic is derailed due to The Online Safety Act. As I said, the headline was well crafted.

I assumed from the headline this was about GDPR Article 32. Instead, I got tricked into reading about Apple fighting for their right to sell me another adapter to add back the features they removed for security.

Edit: It appears my comment was moved from a duplicate discussion titled "UK quietly scrubs encryption advice from government websites" which linked to TechCrunch.

Discord is shifting focus back to gaming [1]. What was it before? A moderation simulator, of course. That's what I mean by LARP.

You wouldn't stick a kid in the pilot seat of a real Boeing 747, would you?

EDIT- Second hint: To summon Galrog the Destroyer, say "Live. Action. Role. Playing." and clap your hands 5 times.

But fear not what is ahead; the entire moderation team's activity status has shown "Playing Roblox" for 8 hours. Luckily, it's just a simulation, and none of this is real.

Are you a partnered server? Are they even still doing those?

I've never been a mod. I'm just an adult who understands Discord's general operations.

I'd consider beancounter to be best case. At least a beancounter works for the company and gets paid. It's like they know they're Koolaid drinkers but every server is riced up with Discord's product pipeline like an aftermarket Honda.

The selling point to me was it's sophistication in handling moderation issues. But they enshittified it to be like Facebook moderation. Maybe that's why they're going public.

I've never been in a Discord server and thought "Wow this server doesn't do the moderator LARP-ing thing".

RegEdit.exe welcomes you with open arms. It even supports multiple endian mixed encoding strings. Clearly it was designed for galactic scale.

It's easy when SATA drives are stacked to unplug the ones you want.

It's not easy when M.2 requires removing a heatsink to press the PCI-e unlock to extract the 2 ton GPU to access the primary M.2 slot underneath to use your screwdriver on the screw the size of a PopRock clinging on trying to not shake because it's holding onto the screwdriver with the magnetic force equivalent of a fridge magnet.

Swapping the actual nvme drive out is easy. But then getting that screw back in is even worse than removing it. Sometimes you get lucky and the motherboard is improving the hotswapping capability with the newest yearly reimplementation of a screw with a string on it so if your screwdriver has trouble holding a fridge magnet against the gravity of the earth then the string keeps the screw from phase warping. My favorite has been the rubber peg designs but we're 10 years out from combining the peg with the string tech.

That's when reading the manual to figure out the port numbers to disable in the BIOS makes sense. It just seems like missed opportunity they didn't make M.2 external facing.

Whenever Windows self-repairs the bootloader it makes me want to learn DOS.

IntelliJ IDEA is their real product. Once you've added a debugger, test runner, and decompiler then you're ready to program Java.

I hate how Zuckerberg tiptoes around Section 230; that's what his hyper-masculine phase is about. Pretending medical information shows up on your front door, pretending Cambridge Analytica doesn't show up, pretending you're acting in good faith. It's all pretend. Sure, this child's HIPAA package was posted on Facebook, we don't know what that is. Instead of exporting a child's medical information to a local church, we're exporting it out of the country. That's what good faith means because I'm a philanthropist and I'm a philanthropist for doing so; we developed Zstandard.

I stopped reading when the table went over the margin.

You have to be careful with suggesting to cut out X/Y/Z foods. Said another way, I would recommend OP eat a bag of gluten and see if they end up in the hospital you'll have your diagnosis in 15 minutes and then there'd be no argument.

I'm not speaking about you specifically, parents get the cutting out X/Y/Z food wrong with their kids all the time. It makes people afraid of eating instead of afraid of what they're allergic to. Unless you maintain a strict food journal which I don't have time for why not just take 2x dose of Zyrtec (I'm just a happy customer) for a week, then try the gluten/paleo/soylent/steve jobs diet.

Edit: I am not a medical doctor and taking an antihistamine to mask a food allergy is probably dangerous but I'm still testing myself. OP said they tried Dramamine, which is an antihistime. I've taken that along with many antacids including Nexium and Pepcid which are also antihistimine. Maybe mast cell disorder is what doctors have to call it so someone with a peanut allergy doesn't read this and reaches for zyrtec and a bowl of peanuts and throws out their epipen. That's why I mentioned the pollen cross-reactivity because I think my body is just overreacting so I'm making the executive decision to suppress it. It's been 8 months or so, I've not taken a single Nexium, only a couple pepcid which for my family is basically cured. I moved somewhere with less pollen because I don't like taking pills all the time.

Edit-Edit (I'm really focused on this topic lately): The bottom line is that I reduced my cetirizine use from 15–20 mg/day to about 5 mg/day by moving to a place with less pollen.

If you're experiencing something similar, pay attention to any systemic symptoms and listen to your body. I had eliminated almost all food from my diet to control my gastric issues. But my left ear was having tinnitus. They checked it, they said my ears are very clean and thought it might be middle ear problems. They gave me a list of antihistimines and a nasal steroid (flonase) to try. I channeled my oppositional energy and thought, "Well, if they want me to try it…"

So I bought the entire list they gave me, I took cetirizine once a day, loratadine twice a day, and occasionally a fexofenadine pill (along with my usual double dose of Nexium, which I was desperate to discontinue) plus the Flonase for good measure.

I started cetirizine to manage tinnitus and dizziness, which are entirely separate systemic symptoms that I had never associated with my gastric symptoms or food.

A few days later, my ears cleared, and all my gastric/reflux symptoms disappeared. I quit all antacids on the same _day_. When my middle ears drain, that's my canary in the coal mine. It had worked so well that I wondered how long I had been suffering before I moved to Pollenville in the first place and just didn't notice.

Thanks Pollenville. You were my bag of raw gluten powder.

I apparently have a food allergy. I thought it was acid for years. It wasn't until I moved somewhere with much higher pollen levels that my stomach symptoms were way worse and I noticed the cross-reactivity. Usually allergies are faster but when it's not it the food makes it into your stomach and your whole body has issues. It's something I'm still kind of figuring out as we speak. Some people I think call it a mast cell disorder but I just call it a food allergy that I take Zyrtec for. Could it be described as "hives but in your stomach"? I mention this because you mentioned Dramamine, which, in fact, is also an antihistimine.

What was the body of the HTTP 400? You should log that. Maybe there's a refresh token grace period depending on implementation.

I'd sooner be testing in a lab environment recording a pcap file on both sides to try to get the client's TLS session to break before I'd want a client's confidential credential flow sent to me. I don't like to bother people. I've always hated refresh tokens, at least OAuth's design of them. Is sending a client's decrypted MITM logs around really safer?

I usually don't comment because most fancy sites posted on here don't work on my phone since I haven't updated in awhile. However, your site lets me demo it without the file api which is considerate.

It's funny people are saying it takes an entire OS to use this when I dream of emulating DOS as a print spooler with Wordperfect, the last non-enshittified font selector. That's my working theory. Good day sir.

Recording all of your SSL-decrypted network logs and reconstructing them later is one step further. I'm sure there's a chain of custody issue not much further.

But what I like about SingleFile is that printing the SingleFile page tends to print to PDF better than an actual dynamic page (annoying modals etc show up in the print that are not normally visible). I have a python service running that organizes my SingleFile html files into folders by each domain and stored my google drive.

It's like a confused mix of wget's -x directories and a postscript printer so you can avoid chrome's print to skia pdf pipeline until a brighter day.

Linux seems to have f bomb drama every few years. I disagree about the CoC thing though any place that treats "our Community Guidelines" like it's the Constitution are weird. Not everyone likes to report. After X revisions and N years it excludes the people who didn't want to (or couldn't) report.

LOL, I didn't know they ran newspaper ads for Google. I love old images of the Google search engine. When I was a kid, I taught other kids how to use the "cache" button next to links. Then Google buried the cache button three clicks under before completely removing it, and Googlers said, "Well, nobody was using it." MBA's doing user-driven development, "As a user (child), I don't know what a cache is." and the legal department being like, "Yup less shit to DMCA."

Google is the modern-day Yellow Pages; kill some trees and slam that rainwater-soaked stack of ads on my porch. I won't say no to free, but how many hoops did we go through to end up back here?

No, I want enforcement of 2252a and sending website operators to prison. I've never heard my opinion because if that was the majority opinion, why hasn't it happened?

My apologies but I'd like to carve out the ADHD medication here saying that most people are misinformed. The same lawyer who did the "big tobacco" and "asbestos" lawsuits pushed the big Ritalin thing. They filed several class actions and all of them were shut down hard in court, which might have been a surprise to them given their previous success. The sleazy lawyers never undid the damage.

My conspiracy theory is ADHD meds conflict with the law industry's whole "ambulance chasing" business. They don't want people to drive safe on their meds so they don't fix it. It's probably just laziness because the law industry being overpaid and scummy pretend legal system failed to self-regulate their professionals.

This won't be popular opinion but I think the tech industry is out of control with targeting kids. Like seriously my job in the banking industry was more ethical than this.

Captain, we're sinking.
