Today I'm fixing the last few issues remaining before I can start writing real-world scrapers for the new backend!
I think all the major outstanding issues have now been fixed, though I'm sure that as soon as I start trying to use it, I will find a few stragglers.

So does CrowdStrike actually have any security value or is it just some dumb corporate compliance thing
@jacksonchen666 Oh right, I forgot about mDNS!
@jacksonchen666 You could probably also ~somehow~ set up your own DNS server on a device of your choosing, and have it manage these names?

they say that the hardest problems in computer science are something about naming and caches.
they are wrong. the hardest problems in computer science are batshit managers and the resulting burnout.

crowdstrike
the saddest part of today? lots of lawyers are getting contacted for lawsuits against ClownStrike, but they can't take the cases because their computers aren't working either ;_;
@jacksonchen666 I believe that's typically handled by the router's embedded DNS server, with the hostnames being informed by what your system reports over DHCP; and potentially a domain suffix (like aforementioned .local)

Someone here have use for some rented (dedicated hardware) servers with a 2TB drive each? 
I just migrated my stuff off one of them and could let you play around with it if you wanted to learn about servers 'n stuff, or had some data to store temporarily.
I could set it to just auto-expire or whatever and hand you some credentials (although I can't give you access to the hoster interface so if you break it you'll need to message me to boot it into rescue, however I know it's fiddly bits so I can tell you everything you need to know about network configuration and how to make it boot, like how it doesn't do UEFI and needs BIOS booting).
(I also wouldn't mind paying for an extra month or two, those servers cost me like 15 bucks a month which doesn't hurt me that much tbh).
@ainmosni This has been irritating me all day.
Like, I have very little (more like negative) love for Microsoft, but come on, at least complain about them for the right reasons...

Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.
This is an "automatic update that got forced onto everyone with insufficient testing while also having way too many permissions" problem.
If you think big corps wouldn't run something similar on Linux, I have a an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

Roommate Alex just came over to tell me that his job has been thrown back into the dark ages and S-bucks corporate has told everyone to just give away free coffee untill they can fix it. (They can't fix it)
This sounds like today's gonna be white lady caffeine withdrawal meltdown city, which is terrible, but I'm cackling. God what a nightmare.
All hail the General Cloud Strike

Ever since I met two very nice clowns on fedi I cannot use the word to disparage anything or anybody. Clowns are cool.

The fediverse has performed well above my expectations today in terms of both snark and useful information.
10/10, no notes.
Well, aside from the lack of alt text on images. Provide image descriptions, people. It's not hard.

Hi good people! hope you all don't mind me asking, but blacktwitter.io server needs some financial support! I've made this spreadsheet to share the revenue/costs transparently.

@TyberiusPrime For some reason this damn thing just keeps complaining that "no password was sent" regardless of how I change the database config :/

you know, it feels like everyone just completely forgot about project 2025 after the trump assassination attempt
From how things are going, I think I'm going to blame this one on Wallabag, not on NixOS

Important news: After almost 7 years without a sighting, I have once again seen the Sainsbury’s car park fox
I apologise for the poor picture but they were very intent on hiding in the bushes behind the petrol station so I had to be quick
