Why I originally had them in the git directory is anyone's guess. Anyway it blew away those files including the database so that's that. So your good self and @ etc - apologies but your profiles got nuked as well (as did my own but easily recreated).  Another thing I noticed which was the reason I ran `make clean` in the first place. I noticed my pod was being built with Go 1.22.4. Could this be a problem @prologic? `preflight.sh` actually errors out about it... 2024-06-19T22:06:57+10:00 @ Correct... epic fail 🤣 Been a long day and I just wasn't thinking, nor backing up properly. Oops indeed. My usual errors still exist though. 2024-06-19T22:08:53+10:00 I guess it got rid of all the dead spam bot accounts at least 🤣 2024-06-19T22:13:24+10:00 Haha, yeah sorry about that, I wasn't even trying to nuke the database either but it worked out that way 😩 2024-06-19T22:34:00+10:00 Unfortunately not on that front. Still the same 404 posting errors and oddly occasional login errors.  That's why I was wondering if using Go 1.22.4 could be an issue. I don't know how exactly. Only way to test is to rebuild it with an older version I guess, which is why I did the make clean in the first place. Old habits die hard lol. 2024-06-19T23:24:48+10:00 (#2w6yh6a) @ hmm you may be right... 2024-06-19T23:31:38+10:00 (#2w6yh6a) @ The login issue I cant yet narrow down as to when it happens as sometimes I login fine. But it gives off a 401 forbidden error. Anyway I've been focusing on the posting error as I figured it must be related.

The login issue isn't really an issue as far as actually logging in goes, rather if I get my password wrong it gives the response error code in console, the response of which contains the HTML for the wrong password page if you inspect it, but on the frontend itself nothing actually happens which is the confusion. Just stays on the login page as if it was never submitted. Am I alone in having this issue as well? 2024-06-20T15:25:53+10:00 (#n2er4fq) Could you perhaps just have a check box to do the opposite, like "Don't remember me"? I've seen that a couple of places I think. Sort of an opt in short lived login, if you're at a public library or something etc. 2024-06-20T18:35:45+10:00 (#n2er4fq) @ yep pretty much! 2024-06-20T18:36:28+10:00 (#ffuigiq) @ phew 😁 2024-06-21T13:25:03+10:00 (#ucly4oq) Oh no, don't tempt me. I've been on KDE for a while to not tinker and make it possible for my Windows using partner to use my laptop now and then, I'm trying to avoid the dwm/l addiction 🤣 2024-06-21T23:07:28+10:00 (#ucly4oq) @ Golly, you are right 😅 2024-06-22T21:12:08+10:00 (#ffuigiq) @ Perfect 👌 2024-06-23T08:15:16+10:00 (#r7scenq) The whole gift card thing is crazy. You get scammers calling up people pretending to be from the IRS (just one example) and getting people paying with gift cards 😳 2024-06-26T21:00:37+10:00 (#amokjeq) Very cool! Interestingly using your web app, the result was a higher bitrate than when I downloaded the best audio only option in `yt-dlp` (258 kbit/s vs 140 kbit/s).  Don't quite understand that but nice work 😅 2024-06-26T21:44:45+10:00 (#pg7rpza) @ Very nice 👌 2024-06-29T13:41:28+10:00 (#ckkcwlq) >There is JavaScript, but not everything is implemented (properly). They’re writing everything including the JavaScript engine from scratch.  A huge effort 😲 2024-07-02T08:13:31+10:00 (#cmpe4tq) I love Arch but they could probably do to have some of these warnings come down `pacman` itself 2024-07-02T17:36:20+10:00 (#cmpe4tq) @ I must admit I was tempted to use EndeavourOS for an install on a HTPC (N97 mini PC) when it arrives to quickly get up and running, but then again I haven't done a fresh install of Arch in quite a while so it sounds like things have simplified even more since then. Hmm... 2024-07-04T16:46:08+10:00 After that talk about the Ladybird browser the other day, I see this article just pop up:  https://devclass.com/2024/07/03/ladybird-web-browser-project-now-funded-by-github-co-founder-promises-no-code-from-other-browsers/  Seems it's gaining some recognition and support, I hope it can gain traction as we sure as anything need some genuine alternatives. 2024-07-05T10:37:57+10:00 (#vgj5emq) Yeah, though sometimes the most clever devs aren't always the best to deal with on a personal level. I seem to remember the (former?) lead dev on GrapheneOS (IIRC) was an ass hat and threw tantrums at the smallest things and would get stalkery and weird if someone criticised him, but he's undeniably a brilliant coder and problem solver. Some people need to be more self aware of how their efforts might be harmed with their behaviour though. 2024-07-20T20:54:30+10:00 (#smnew7a) I admit I've always compromised on this way too much myself, always to this day having Facebook Messenger just to communicate in my families group chats. Sure I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time, I can completely cut it off from network access any time as well, I can have a lot of rudimentary control over it, I use it as sparingly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact everytime I use it we're funneling private convos through bloody Meta's servers and trackers etc. 2024-07-21T15:52:06+10:00 (#dk5cxea) @  >(I don’t really trust Android, though, and I suspect that apps can still install background services that are always active. Pure speculation and paranoid on my part, but still.)  Which is fair, but I would say the GrapheneOS devs in particular are also quite paranoid about this stuff and go to great pains to make sure this stuff can be controlled by the user. 2024-07-28T17:30:16+10:00 I must admit Tailscale is really cool and why I haven't used it before now is beyond me 😅 2024-07-28T22:02:48+10:00 (#dxu6n5a) @ Interesting! Had no idea about that, but trust you to know of a self-hosted implementation 😅👌 2024-07-29T12:01:18+10:00 (#dxu6n5a) I setup and switched to Headscale last night. It was relatively simple, I spent more time installing a web GUI to manage it to be honest, the actual server is simple enough. The native Tailscale Android app even works with it thankfully. 2024-07-29T13:56:08+10:00 (#vq422aa) @ on my hosted VPS, as I'm on Starlink which is CGNAT, I need some sort of external intermediary. 2024-07-29T16:50:56+10:00 (#vq422aa) @ Yes I suppose that is true. There is an article on Tailscale's site that explains it all quite a bit: [https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works)  To me, with CGNAT, it's a small miracle that a direct connection can be made between peers (as opposed to going through a relay constantly) but it does indeed work. I guess to host it at home you would need to have it WAN accessible, and if you've already gone to the trouble of port forwarding etc... well 😅 Not that I could personally do that, but for those with static IPs etc. 2024-07-30T09:55:34+10:00 (#e4ylmfa) @ Mine is about the same, though I have 20GB left 😅 In terms of resources, Headscale is using next to nothing though. 2024-07-31T19:19:43+10:00 (#icme3oq) @ Is it so maxed out you couldn't fit a pretty small program like Headscale on it? Headscale by itself and only personal home type use as far as amount of peers go, it really isn't noticeable I don't think resource-wise. The Docker version I guess could be a different story. 2024-07-31T21:06:22+10:00 (#ku2sgda) @ Good to know. I must admit I've never actually used a Docker instance, probably as I just assumed the overhead might be a bit much for my usual very modest servers. 2024-07-31T22:10:28+10:00 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/logitech-has-an-idea-for-a-forever-mouse-thatrequires-a-subscription/   The fuck...?! 2024-08-04T21:39:41+10:00 (#xirxhqa) @ 'Clownflare' 🤣🤣🤣 Love it.  But yes the idea of a cheap VPS as a tunnel and keeping home network all local is a good one I reckon. 2024-08-12T13:07:09+10:00 (#x6n4tma) @ If it still existed I bet the first thing he'd do is convert it to Golang 👌🤣 2024-09-19T16:16:01+10:00 Getting a little sick of AI this, AI that. Yes I'll be left behind while everyone else jumps on the latest thing, but I'm not sure I care. 2024-09-19T21:18:02+10:00 (#qgv3waq) I'm not the biggest Apple fan around, but that is pretty awesome. 2024-09-19T21:19:22+10:00 (#4sczfgq) @ That's definitely a little less depressing, when thinking of it that way 🤣 Be interesting when the hype dies down. 2024-09-20T10:45:34+10:00 (#76qy4ga) Seems to be working OK 🤔 2024-10-03T10:03:31+10:00 (#itn6lfa) Lol, this is actually a good thing by Apple.

I'm still using my main Firefox in general cos.. well it's set up so much and it's hardened, profile running in RAM, all that crazy stuff that got it working the way I want 😂  But keeping a good eye on Zen Browser's progress. 2024-10-03T19:59:50+10:00 (#knomq4q) @ Hmm that is worth trying. It is the same base Firefox I guess 🤔 2024-10-07T17:10:15+11:00 (#q2ltkra) Lol, what a disgrace.

They can only regurgitate derivations of what they've been trained on and can't apply that to something new in the same ways that humans or even other animals can.

I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD. 2024-11-12T09:04:43+11:00 (#o7heczq) Oof, is it any wonder some of us don't want to just give out our info online willy-nilly.  Also that credit card 'encryption' will likely land that company in very hot water, no doubt far away from PCI DSS requirements. 2024-11-12T21:33:03+11:00 (#pt35qpq) @ All good mate. 2024-11-14T16:40:20+11:00 (#37sjhla) @ yes. 2024-11-19T11:48:02+11:00 (#pt35qpq) @ Cheers, mate, just saw this reply so thank you.
