@xerz you can always use "it is known"
@lethalbit the stdlib has so many convenient features! still feels wrong tho
@codl it's still gonna be trained in a data center
@la how much drill could a drill chuck chuck if a drill chuck could chuck drill
@vaporeon_ @onfy security researcher
@onfy I guess it's possible with some careful water management
@onfy really? rice needs to grow in flooded plains, that sounds like a pain to rotate with other crops
@onfy plants can accumulate toxins found in the environment. There are places where rice has a measurable arsenic content because they basically filter it out of the ground. It's sometimes even used to "clean" soil and make it safe to grow things on again
@misty oh yeah that happened to me too and I'm sure it showed me the exact same ones afterwards. I chalked it up to my work's remote management software doing something funky while I loaded the update
@mcc ultimately I prefer the fix where mastodon doesn't ddos people in the first place but I see your point
@mcc yeah but then having to add a plugin so your WordPress doesn't shut down when someone posts a link on mastodon does feel like a bandaid fix
@mcc you can make non-static websites that don't stop working once a lot of requests come in. ancient php runners can handle it
@mcc I don't think the cost of sending a website and sending just the opengraph tags is significantly different for an accidental DDOS scenario. Any web server worth its salt running on a raspberry pi can handle a few hundred mastodon instances requesting a static page, the issue is people hosting their blog posts on horribly inefficient setups
