@derFisch oh! i'm suuuper-late, but welcome! ^^
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
@haskal literate RE sounds fun!
@thr33h3ad3ddragon ooh! low-pressure
i'll take five!
@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
@noiob this is cuteeee
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?
@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 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
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
