Technically their implementation gives Fastly that power instead - but there's nothing keeping both from being in bed with eachother anyway.

QUIC is already ~30% of HTTP traffic. That's enough to not make UDP use stick out as suspicious.
\ The IP storage also doesn't have anything to do with Tor guard nodes - in a VPN-before-Tor scenario, the guard nodes would only see the VPN server's address, whereas in a Tor-before-VPN scenario, the VPN server would only see the exit node instead, which remains unchanged throughout the time a connection is established. If establishing a new connection instead, you have to negotiate keys for that new connection, with the previous connection's keys not being used. The VPN server would only see connection data for the 2 exit nodes.

I watched it and continue being retarded, apparently.

The concerns of "using UDP instead of TCP" and "Connections need to be kept in memory until they time out" look like nothingburgers to a layperson, which isn't helped by technical inaccuracies such as the conflation of multithreading with multiprocessing.

Turns out the ⑨ isn't about running in circles, but about running in a downward spiral.

Predictably, the viewer doesn't get hit.

Checking again, it's now returning a 500 with a {"msg":"Error in store"}json response.

Interestingly, that instance's modlogs have a post purged from this community 3 hours after the top level comment being sent. Does purging still keep images hosted?

that thread in particular has been locked, so no new comments can be submitted (at least until it gets unlocked).

Plap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cake#Japanese_metaphor

In Japan, women had traditionally been expected to marry at a young age, and those who were unmarried after the age of 25 were metaphorically referred to as (unsold) Christmas cakes (クリスマスケーキ) in reference to items which are still unsold after the 25th. The term first became popular during the 1980s but has since become less common because Japanese women today can remain unmarried with somewhat less stigmatization. An equivalent term does, however, still exist that hearkens to the "unsold" nature of unmarried women, urenokori (売れ残り, "unsold goods").

Don't even get me started on patents. At least laws still come up slowly enough you could theoretically keep up at a federal level at the low, low cost of all of your time and sanity. Doing the same with patents has been impossible for the last ~4 decades and doesn't protect you against things such as submarine patents.

To be fair, a lot of things were actually made illegal through bullshit legislation.
For example, DMCA and CISD anti-circumvention provisions mean someone else can call anything an "effective technological measure" and use that to make modding illegal, ECU tuning needed a DMCA exemption to be legalized, Japanese law forbids save game editors since 2019, and filming facesitting porn was made illegal in the UK before this was overturned years later.

Legislation has gotten far too complicated for reasonable humans to fully understand. Many countries simply don't know how many laws they have in effect anymore. At this point i just assume everyone is a criminal and most of the world just happens to not have had a technocratic authoritarian government willing to be anal to everyone about this (rather than just certain groups the masses don't care enough about such as intelligentsia or uyghurs), and act accordingly.

you can embed ruby characters by using {ルビ | rubi} -> {ルビ | rubi}. I still think that OP is applying these in a horrible use case considering their main use by far is showing the pronunciation of logographic characters.

sauce.

manually checking the list, there are some communities that defederated but remain in the list:

• social.cyb3r.dog
• f.jbradaric.me
• bookwormstory.social
• lemmy.vinodjam.com
• ka.tet42.org
• dubvee.org
• lemmy.kensand.net
• moot.place
• lemmy.phoenix591.com
• lemmyland.com
• lemmy.buzz
• lemmy.pe1uca.dev

as well as some communities with policies that would clearly defederate burggit:

• lemmy.serverfail.party
• civilloquy.com (defederated lemmy.burger.rodeo)
• discuss.tchncs.de

The list also includes plenty of single-user instances without any posts, as well as instances using whitelists not including burggit.moe and a few local-only instances, though i didn't bother making lists for them.

You should be able to fetch instance block lists from other instances (which on most lemmy web UIs is exposed in /instances) - but even that isn't a requirement AFAIK :-/
