What is needed is better controls over who can downvote. Communities should get better controls for moderation - up to and including control over whose votes get counted. Simple controls like “only subscribers” or “accounts older than 1 week” or “accounts that have commented on the post/replied to this comment” all the way through to “only users on this list”.

But pushing the control into the individual user’s hands will simply create echo chambers worse than the existing ones. Let’s not turn Lemmy into Facebook.

Stripe is a company that operates within the US and are subject to US law. The US passed a law that says that RT is subject to comprehensive sanctions. That means that it is now a criminal offense for any US company or person to do business with them. So Stripe doesn’t have much choice and has to immediately stop doing business with RT. In the actual announcement, African Stream is called out by name. No proof needed because they are explicitly added to the list of sanctioned entities, and can enjoy being cut out of doing business with any company with a US or EU connection, just like ISIS, Boko Haram, and the PFLP.

tl;dr - They’re a front for RT, and subject to comprehensive sanctions

Holy propaganda batman!

The list of articles on that website is…extremely focused on one subject only.

So you hope that Hamas and Hezbollah continue firing rockets at civilians?

Obligatory xckd what if

Nope. Bitkeeper used it in the master-slave pairing and the term was carried forward. Gitlab did a whole writeup about it.

Uninterruptible sleep makes this harder than it looks

TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn’t always an option if you don’t control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn’t able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

Weetabix would like a word

I’m very ok with leaving that behind. It was pompous and unhelpful. But you can pry the puns from my cold dead hands!

What’s the Lore of this picture? And why is the Hugh of his skin…off?

I don’t like SQL. It’s unstandardized and ugly and irritating - and it gets everywhere.
