Reddit Is Taking Over Google (tech.slashdot.org)

Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links. Data analysis from Semrush, which predicts traffic based on search ranking, shows that traffic to Reddit has climbed at an impressive clip since August 2023. Semrush estimated that Reddit had over 132 million visitors in...

Making it extremely hard to actually find professional content because Reddit tends to cater to the lowest common denominator and most professional subs tend to corrupt over time.

Garlic gross misunderstanding of software development, especially in large organizations.

Ignorant opinions only speedrun.

I love this.

Especially being written in a language like C#. Which makes it incredibly accessible to work on, performant, and long-lasting.

I fail to see the claim that the article is false and misleading?

It sounds like what it states is what it is. Replace the phrase “currently has” with “didn’t” and your issue evaporates.

Which seems like unfair criticism given that the present or past tensing of an article’s statements are dependent on when it was written and is a rather fluid and interpretable thing. It’s a reasonable expectation that readers can understand and adjust their perspective of past vs present tense without failing to understand what the article is conveying…

Especially to such a degree where the confusion from the past tense versus present tense of a statement is great enough to be considered “false and misleading”…

NPM - What services need what toggled? (slrpnk.net)

Hiya, just got NPM installed and working, very happy to finally have SSL certs on all of my serivces and proper URLs to navigate to them, what a breeze! However, as I am still in the learning process: I am curious to know when to enable these three toggles and for what services. I assume the “Block Common Exploits”, can...

Yeah I had literally no idea what you were talking about until you mentioned the actual name in the comments.

NPM almost universally refers to node package manager in any developer or development adjacent conversation in my experience. Given that both the site, the command, the logo, and the binaries are “npm” makes that more appropriate.

Nginix proxy manager is far to niche to be referred to universally by acronym when it’s only ever used as an acronym when the context for it’s usage has already been defined (ie. In it’s documentation).

This becomes much more clear when you Google the acronym.

Tarallo - selfhostable FOSS Trello alternative (feddit.it)

Hi! For the ones of you that use Trello, I made a simple to use and host alternative in PHP. It’s not a complete alternative like other projects, and I mainly made it to be able to host it on free PHP web servers while having control over data/attachments. It also support a basic importer for Trello JSON exports....

It is, but also it’s worrisome since it means support is harder, which means risk of abandonment is higher and community contributions lower. Which means “buying in” is riskier for the time investment.

Not really criticizing, 10/10 points on making something and then putting it out there, nothing wrong with that. Just being a user who’s seen too many projects become stale or abandoned, and have noticed that the trend has some correlation to the technology choices those projects made.

It seems worthwhile to set realistic expectations.

Mac OS is Apple to oranges against windows when it comes to OS support?

Conveniently skipped that part and focused on Debian…

11-yo called the police and they shot him, and now they're trying to take her other kids away (www.npr.org)

After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that’s when Aderrien emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. Capers then opened fire.

Your commenting on an extremist community where logic doesn’t actually matter anymore.

This is a community that started from pointing out serious problems and talking about how they might be solved, to not actually caring about how to solve the problems and just hating and being polarized.

You are 100% correct because using this term is not going to help figure out realistic ways to solve the problem. It’s just going to do what fringe groups do, and make actual solutions impossible to start with. Thus perpetuating the problems the fringe group hates, it’s their identity, they can’t go without it.

Not only does it prevent solutions but it actually pushes out allies and others who are also passionate about the problem because “they aren’t extreme enough”. (This is me, I despise this problem and want to support anything I can that aims for actual solutions)

I look forward to all the hate spam, downvotes, and the comments. Which would be no different than if I actually commented on a Nazi community pointing out hypocrisy.

If y’all want to actually solve this problem then extreme, generalized, non-logical, blind-hate, stances aren’t going to do it. You’re literally becoming a sibling of neo-nazis with this, and you’re weakening your own position, and alienating your support, by being extremists about it.

It doesn’t just require 20GB of RAM, it requires that in VRAM. Which is a much higher barrier to entry.

I’m honestly not even sure what the author’s point is since IIS isn’t exactly popular, or even any sort of default these days.

I build using Microsoft technologies, and haven’t touched IIs for more than 8 years. I almost entirely use OSS projects, on linux.

From writing, to testing, to IaC, to the runtime, the server OS, the webserver, the proxy…etc is all FOSS projects these days.

The only proprietary things I used is the hosting provider itself and their services, and my IDE.


All that said I want to see Microsoft to succeed simply to spite AWS. We have to have competition, and for the love of god I do not need AWS taking over more of the ecosystem. More competitors more better.

I’ve been looking a platform for personal blog, portfolio, and what not that’s kind of fun to play with without having to build the whole thing myself.

What’s your opinion of this project?

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

Of course, not everyone is technology literate enough to understand how it works.

That should be the default assumption, that something should be explained so that others understand it and can make better, informed, decisions. .

Pretty sure the only reason any org uses teams is because it’s already bundled for free with office or Enterprise subscriptions.

What does being federated give it?

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

That doesn’t really answer the question since anything that is self-hostable already meets your criteria even if it’s not federated.

I don’t think it’s a lazy cop out at all it’s recognizing a complex issue that interweaves into the new realities of life for young adults.

What you stated is the lazy cop out, you’re dismissing an entire problem space at the wave of a hand without critically thinking about it.

Everything is connected. An example would be heavy social media use being correlated to lower critical thinking capabilities, lower attention span, and more extreme political and emotional swings lead to a population being more manipulable and less cohesive.

Causing them to vote and act against their own interests at the behest of whoever has enough money to influence them though channels they “trust”. Thus influencing a degrading social and financial situation.

How should I do backups?

I have a server running Debian with 24 TB of storage. I would ideally like to back up all of it, though much of it is torrents, so only the ones with low seeders really need backed up. I know about the 321 rule but it sounds like it would be expensive. What do you do for backups? Also if anyone uses tape drives for backups I am...

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

As of today I’m actually in a lucky position where I am now able to set up a secondary NAS at my brother in laws and use that as a backup server that I can back up to essentially in real time.

All it’ll cost me is the hardware and the electricity.

douglasg14b,
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

I mean yeah it probably would. But that’s essentially just blackmail.

For there should be is an entire branch of government dedicated to regulating and auditing data security in large corporations.

It’s a high level memory managed language. Usually this by itself means it’s an accessible language.

Combine that with .Net being one of the better if not the best standard libraries/frameworks out there, and it being one of the top five most popular languages in the world, means it’s highly accessible to new and experienced programmers.
