@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz hee, don't worry~

i just giggled when i recognized the topics on the tl--and i was happy i could read your takes on them ^^

If leftist spaces can't get past the habit of conflating actions with behavior then I don't know how we'll ever succeed. If we can't understand that bad people can do good things and vice versa then we're unbelievably lost.

explainy 

@Felthry @monorail one common reason is because nginx can run as root so your actual server that might have holes in it doesn't need to

root is the highest permission level on linux, and you typically need to use them to have a server that listens on ports browsers actually try to connect to

basically, nginx is heavily battle tested, so there's a smaller chance that someone can exploit it and gain root privileges than whatever random and less-tested thing you put behind it

possibly inflammatory for masto pol 

@haskal these kinds of people always made me uncomfortable

the main reason i'm leftist to begin with is because of empathy, and i've always had significantly reformist and forgiving views when it comes to ignorance if it isn't intentional

privilege is invisible to those who have it, and i feel like someone ignoring that because they were lucky enough to be on a path to be educated without the intervention of others is reminiscent of the "i've got mine" crew

Idk who needs to hear this today but your existence is not harmful

@noiob gosh yeah. even with backups!

i always hesitate before doing it, even if that was preceded by all the selects i needed to be totally sure that i'm doing the right thing

kink, project 

so, i hacked it together in ruby. now i just need to see if others like the idea!

kink, project idea 

it's always cool to find spaces that are kink-positive, but now i'm wondering about a way to make something that can help others feel better about opening up

so i think i might make a little thing called tmyk, or "tell me your kink" where people can post either with or without usernames and explain the things they like, talk about why they like them, and browse things other people posted~

i wonder if that could catch on?

it's that time of year again, and i think it's time for a pfp change~ (which is probably gonna be lb)

@monorail tbh, i think a lot of music that became memes are actually real bangers

mortality morality, hot take 

it's also okay to not feel conflicted about bad things happening to bad people, since it's true that the world would be a better place without them

but it's also okay to feel conflicted about wishing someone would die--since it means we are also okay with dehumanizing people after a certain margin

you don't always need to be 100% unambiguous about things like this, and i don't think it's a moral failing to feel uncomfortable

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz aww, i wish your sleepydecider would be nicer to you :T

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yep! i mean, i only recently learned about the startup profiler, or the ability to even measure the time it takes for things to start when you turn your computer on a few months ago! (it's not very easy to find or install the tools to do that, mind you, even if they are from ms)

and it was even more recently then that where i stopped ignoring the task scheduler altogether

i only started learning things when i tried to make emolga extremely light and stable with WSL, and little else
