@unnick Probably 80/443 or 53. Although on my school network it's actually everything but 80/443 (they have some sort of MitM proxy running on those ports but everything else is uncensored)

@harlow @thing yes, zlib has the same issue. it's probably fine, I'm not aware of it actually being enforced in the context of freely distributable software (but I'm also not australian or a lawyer)

@thing @harlow of course, but that doesn't mean I can't ask them to use another license (which they can of course refuse to do)

(and my criticism did actually result in the requirement to report bugs on unmodified versions upstream being removed)

@thing @harlow as long as they don't accept AI-generated changes to the code you could fork and remove/revert the changelog

@thing @harlow if it’s just the changelog then it seems fine to continue using, just don’t read the changelog and use git log instead

@harlow @thing please use a free software license rather than that self-written proprietary license, there are several problems with it:

• the restriction on using it for AI training is a restriction of freedom 0 (and probably pointless since AI training is usually just ignoring copyright and claiming it’s fair use anyway, and fair use cannot be restricted by a copyright license)
• the requirement to report bugs in unmodified code to the original author also restricts freedom 0 and fails the DFSG island test (what if you’re on a desert island with no internet connection and can’t report bugs?)
• not having the license in the same repo makes it unclear which version applies, if you ever update it, or if someone finds the hfetch repo separately from the one with the license
• your warranty disclaimer doesn’t have “to the extent permitted by applicable law” or similar, which makes it illegal in Australia (although many free software licenses (notably MIT/Expat) also have the same problem, see this for an explanation)

@thing I use pass as a password manager

@gayfamicom wait, you don't count like 1.0 2.0 3.0 3.1 95 98 2000 ME XP Vista 7 8 8.1 10 11?

@evan @cwebber @promovicz @laurenshof How do you handle notifications for the purpose of determining when the content is first read? I receive notifications for my mentions, which include the contents of the message. There's no way for the server to know when I actually read the message in the notification, only when the notification is received by my client (which will likely be within seconds to minutes of it being received by my server).

The options are either to include unverified content in the notification (which I don't consider to be acceptable), or verify it first, at which point it's almost the same as verifying it as soon as it's received by my server.

@dpk @fraggle

Yes, Linux (without a third-party hack in userspace) needs fixed-size pre-allocated swap space.

As far as I know on MacOS dynamic swapfile creation is also handled by a userspace process. Not a third-party one, but on Linux everything in userspace is third-party since Linux is just the kernel. I don’t see how swapd is any more of a hack than MacOS’s dynamic_pager.

Mac OS won’t kill processes just because it’s running out of memory; it will pause them instead (as if by SIGSTOP)

How does SIGSTOP help if you’re out of memory? It won’t free anything.

@kemona_halftau @piku no, I also understand what it's referring to

@ariadne why is someone forking charybdis in 2026 and not solanum?

@cwebber @vv A local model would be extremely noticeable (far too much CPU/memory/disk space usage), at least if a computer you regularly interactively use got infected (rather than some server/IoT device that's been running unattended for years and you forgot about). It would also be easy to mitigate by using slow hardware like a ThinkPad X200 (which would take hours to respond to a single prompt, giving you plenty of time to notice the malware and deal with it)

@Mae what if I am my instance's mods?

I have less than three weeks before the server I run most services on (email, XMPP, matrix, akkoma, primary DNS, forgejo, ...) shuts down and I have to move it, I don't think I'm going to have time to finish reverse engineering and replacing the BMC firmware on my new server before then

@Siobibblecoms @littlefoxone it means you're the one IPv4 link-local user
