My name is Jess. I build and manage servers for both work and fun. I also occasionally make music.
Indirectly, this was. He said this was a bug in their recent tool that allows sites to block AI crawlers that caused the outages. It’s a relatively new tool released in the last few months, so it makes sense it might be buggy as the rush to stop the AI DoS attacks has been pertinent.
Historically populations tend to balance themselves as people will choose to have fewer children when times are hard. Want more babies? Make life better for parents and children. It’s that simple.
Yeah, I noticed this, so I started using RSS feeds of my subscribed channels. I honestly think RSS (and other web 2.0 tech) is when the internet peaked from a user experience perspective.
RSS only faded away because it’s so convenient that it’s hard to monetize. When the goal became keeping people on your platform as long as possible, RSS was antithetical to that goal. So platforms either abandoned support for it or (like YouTube) stopped advertising its existence.
Smells like desperation. Still struggling to find a sustainable business model are we?
Yeah, way too many services have chats. I think it’s because every large platform wants to be an “everything app”. Messaging is a really easy to feature to implement to (theoretically) add value.
How about: “You probably should trust or use X at all… ever.”
They keep your private key on their servers.
Then it’s literally not even E2EE, lol
Import our Postman library. ❌

lol yeah I definitely have more downtime than AWS.
The main differences are:
I can hear the smug grins on homelabber’s/self-hoster’s faces from here.
It’s like that Futurama “Scary Door” bit where the scientist creates a robot to automate everything in his life and gets shocked when the robot gets all the credit: https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/The_Scary_Door#Episode_7,_featured_in_the_Futurama_episode_“Benderama”
There is a mind-blowing amount of variety on both TikTok and YouTube. Just because these “someones” to which you refer are posting brainrot garbage doesn’t mean the entire platform is like that.
I think about the fact that dinosaurs probably tasted delicious more than I should.
I really hope this was just a joke.
Idk it doesn’t seem like there are any legal consequences for tech companies anymore.
Right, that’s more accurate.
This is not slop, this is political misinformation disinformation. Call it what it is.
Slop is annoying, but it’s just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.
The vast majority of things gen AI produces becomes pointless when you take the human out of the equation imo.
