Anyone have the odds on how long it will take for this to be circumvented?

You could argue that when they started cracking down on account sharing it quadrupled the price for many people.

Quick, raise prices!

5 posts in the last week vs 100s of moderation actions taken in the last week. Thats actually a really good hit rate, which suggests that the system actually works really well.

Criticizing that system without offering any better alternative isn’t useful.

Disagree. Pointing out flaws in a proposal is important, it raises awareness so that they can be resolved.

In the jury system, content could be hidden as soon as it is reported

True of all moderation systems, but is open to abuse. Removing content, even temporarily is good way to censor opinions, by hiding them until they fall off the “new” page. Moderation usually happens quite slowly if the mods arent terminally online. A jury system may exacerbate that if the jurors aren’t available to respond in time.

Penalising false reports also risks discouraging reports, and may actually just encourage “group think”. And if accounts are easy to spin up, there is no real cost to abusing reports to hide content.

I actually think the current systems are actually adequate. We have a moderators who can be replaced at any time by admins, which gives oversight, and we have the ability to simply move communities to other instances if that fails.

Had a quick look at your doc, and the juries idea does not sound good.

• Moderation is not something loads of people want to do. Take a look at the list of unmoderated communities: https://programming.dev/u/Vacant - Forcing random users to be involved would likely annoy your users.

• For certain types of reports, CSAM, gore, etc, you absolutely do not want to share that to random users. If your users are underage, it could be illegal to do that anyway, but sensitive users may not want to be exposed to triggering content.

Maybe you make being in the jury opt-in, but if most don’t opt in your back to regular old moderation by the few who have the stomach for it.

Wait until you hear about bin lids!

Lately, we’ve been use Justfiles to setup the env and run the tests. The ci just runs the just recipes.

Makes replicating on the dev machine much easier.

Yeah, its definitely an interesting area. Seems to be mostly unused as well, apart from a tiny airport town. The runway is almost as long as the town itself.

There is also another oddity a bit further south:

UAE, wrapped in Oman, wrapped in UAE.

They are next to the straight. Red is Iran, Blue is Oman, Green is UAE.

Zooming out further the straight opens up into the “Gulf of Oman”.

Maybe window RG.

None of the agentic AIs are free to use, so you’d have to pay for a subscription. You can run a self-hosted model, but they arent free either, and are a lot more limited.

Small and basic apps, you can easily replace. More complex ones, not yet.

Nginx proxy manager is the easy way. Spin it up and the UI is fairly straight forward. You can also achieve the same thing with nginx or caddy, but you’ll have to set up the configs by hand.

That is well worth it, case + PSU + mobo would push up to ~$300 by themselves if you had to buy new, so you’ll be well ahead. I’d take it, get a GPU and a SSD and you’ll be set.

Depends how much they are selling it for. 1080p doesn’t require much, so if you can get that really cheap, a GPU and store will get you over the line easily.

Ideally, you’d just set the default log level higher so that the lower level logs are suppressed automatically. And you can use SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 to adjust the log level up and down dynamically.

According to that channel, eink displays are fast, but the controllers have been optimised for power saving.

Whether you engage or not, its a constant noise that has to be dealt with.

If the newbies don’t stick around to contribute back, then that doesn’t work well. The trans community (at least from an outsiders perspective) seem a lot more close-knit, so it probably works better?

For technical communities, it doesn’t seem like the communal support exists to the same degree. Newbies come in, get their answer and leave. :(

Imagine every day I ask you what the color of the sky is. There are a bunch of forum threads that tell me the sky color, there is a wiki with sky color information, and the search can give me the sky colour. I have all the information I need to work out the sky color, but I still keep asking you.

That is what these communities often deal with, it grinds you down and gives you have a short fuse.
