I’ve been thinking about making an nginx plugin that randomizes words on a page to poison AI scrapers.

This is why I use things like Docusaurus to generate static sites. Vulnerability injections are pretty hard when there’s no code to inject into.

And it’s almost 2 years old.

I think you mean, Em Spaint.

Publishing this on PeerTube is also a problem. I mentioned this in another post, but to expand, I really, really, want to like PeerTube. But:

• Many running servers don’t fully grasp the bandwidth requirements. The video I tried to watch in that post got “popular” (800 views) and it took 2 minutes to even get the progress bar to load. People will leave.
• The federated nature is even more disjointed than Lemmy. It feels like a bunch of different sites still, which makes it feel like less content.

IMO PeerTube could be great, but it has a lot of shortcomings that aren’t solved by adding features and fixing bugs.

Switched from Ubuntu to Debian this year. With one extra GNOME package install, its basically the same without snaps, so perfect for me.

@[email protected] @ing since you mentioned Ubuntu. I also switched from Ubuntu Server to Debian for the servers, too.

Thats fair, but simly using FOSS software doesn’t support the cause of the developers/creators. I mean, look at Lemmy.

Uhh this is a reach. By this logic so is Signal. And RedHat. Hell, even Mastodon.

Hi dad, I’m America.

No thanks. One more centralized service to enshitify. Will stick with Matrix.

Maybe we need a new movement (or revisit past ideas from the 70s) that focuses on ensuring the openness regarding freedoms of computing (😉) that combat proprietary SaaS offerings? idk.

This is why OSS as an org needs a change IMO. Licenses like SSPLv1, where software can be supplied for free with options that allow a company to make money without risk of a cloud vendor snapping up their software (think Redis, MongoDB, etc) need a place at the table.

Vector is still pixel maps. Open an SVG in a text editor 😉

Slackware in the early mid-nineties. But of course there was other Unix variants before that. And what was it called, OS/2 or something like that?

Yea, and in this instance, they were using a free font.

Personally I think the artistry in the typeface itself is what should be protected.

If you copy a font, bitmap or not, you’re doing it as a pixel map on a pixelated monitor.

Yes, and:

You can point Immich to your photo uploads as an external library, too. Then make a cron job to rescan regularly.

That being said, I now have my old photos as external libraries and new stuff directly in Immich. After using it a while, I realized that it’s just that good.

Funny, but fonts can’t be copyrighted.

They say the ad used XBand Rough, an “illegal clone”.

If you redraw an entire font, pixel for pixel, manually, it is not an illegal clone. This happens all the time. The creators of the ad just used a copy that was free.

So ironic, yes, illegal, no.

Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.

Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆

So for those wondering on comparisons to other FOSS options:

Fittrackee (https://github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee): Very similar, but Endurain also seems to track weight vs just activity.

Wanderer (https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer): Also similar, but has social sharing and geared more towards trail recording like Alltrails. Also does not have weight tracking.

Note: Another big differentiator seems to be Garmin and Strava integrations.

I switched to Reader Mode. So annoying.
