Most currencies have a special pattern that printers are programmed to detect and refuse to print. Since illegal gun part designs can’t be forced to include a marker declaring that they’re gun parts, a 3d printer would have to 1) know what a gun is, 2) know how a gun works, 3) be able to tell whether any particular shape could be used as part of a gun, and 4) be able to tell whether any particular shape could be cut and reassembled into a shape that could be used as part of a gun

Maybe browsers could be configured to automatically accept the first certificate they see for a given .internal domain, and then raise a warning if it ever changes, probably with a special banner to teach the user what an .internal name means the first time they see one

GIMP would be infinitely better if they just changed the name so we could talk about it around normal people without getting dirty looks

“We successfully competed against piracy and drove it to near-extinction, but now that we’re enshittified we can’t compete with piracy while continuing to make the obscene amounts of money that we want to make”

Discord uses a subset of Markdown for message formatting, so they’ll be writing it regardless

Nix only stores each version of a package once, environments work by setting environment variables and such to control which packages are visible

You don’t need to abandon your distro’s package manager to use Nix, so you can adopt it as much or as little as you like.

I’ll never std::mem::forget you…

I still haven’t gotten any popups at all on Firefox with uBlock, not sure what’s different about my setup

Oh yeah definitely, Apache is way better for anything remotely serious.

I know about the CGI standard, but mine does things a little differently (executable files don’t just render pages but also handle logging, access control, etc. when put in special positions within a directory), so I still think it was worth the afternoon i spent making it.

Maybe I’ll finally move it into a VM so I can send a link to it here without tempting people :P

i thought it was neat how php lets you write your website’s logic with the same directory tree pattern that clients consume it from, but i didn’t want to learn php so i made my own, worse version

#!/bin/bash doesn’t work on NixOS since bash is in the nix store somewhere, #!/usr/bin/env bash resolves the correct location regardless of where bash is

I’ve taken some precautions, it’s running in a container as an unprivileged user and the only writable mount is the directory where make writes rendered pages, but i probably should move it into a vm if i want to be completely safe lol

my website’s backend is made with bash, it calls make for every request and it probably has hundreds of remote arbitrary code execution bugs that will get me pwned someday, it’s great

edit: to clarify, it uses a rust program i made to expose the bash scripts as http endpoints, i’m not crazy enough to implement http in bash

it behaves like a static file server, but if a file has the others-execute permission bit set it executes the file instead of reading it

it’s surprisingly nice for prototyping since you can just write a cli program and it’s automatically available over http too

I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.

ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps

It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.

If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.
