To be clear I meant something like Caddy, or nginx not a solution like cloudflare or GCP doing my TLS

Go-Safeweb 2 years ago

Not sure how I feel about the HTTPS/TLS related bits. These days anything I write in Go uses plain HTTP, and the TLS is done by a reverse proxy of some variety that does some other stuff with the traffic too including security headers, routing for different paths to different services, etc. I never run a go web application "bare", public facing, and manually supplying cert files.

I wonder what the common factor between these people is (besides their skin-tone I mean).

Because surely there must be some kind of census or survey or company that had collected phone numbers and people's race information at some point. And it either got leaked or was intentionally created to harvest the phone numbers of black people?

Maybe not to you, but to some people it is incredibly valuable for maintaining relationships.

Communication is incredibly valuable for maintaining relationships. Whether that's through social media, IM, calling them, hanging out in meatspace. THAT is valuable. Not merely following someone on social media.

I am in my early 20s. My highschool life (and some after) was filled with social media use and borderline addiction. I added people on social media that I kind of knew, or talked to once, or wanted to talk to.

But literally none of that kept me in touch with most if not all of them. More than half of them I never messaged, never interacted with on social media.

What kept me in touch with them was me or them. I deleted all my social media. And the ones who make the effort to contact me out of social media? Those are the real relationships.

This is my point. This exact thing happens for these non-white terrorists, but the excuse of FBI coercion does not come up in public opinion (e.g. comments here, around the web) as a valid excuse for the perp's actions. The discussion is had but it's never considered as a _valid_ excuse unless they are white.

Honestly I used to be on the strict noscript JavaScript hate train.

But if your site works fast. Loads fast. With _a little_ JS that actually improves the functionality+usability in? I think that's completely fine. Minimal JS for the win.

I have been told by him not to brush too hard. And i dont brush hard. But the issue is not related to my brushing. What I meant with the blood was;

First I don't floss for a month. Then what looks like gingivitis shows up. And when I brush (normally -- not hard) after this, the sites that have the gingivitis bleed and are extremely painful.

If I don't floss my dentist notices immediately and tells me to floss more often because there's food and shit in there, hence why I tend to floss.

Completely anecdotal but my gums flare up and just feel disgusting when I don't floss for too long.

I don't do the dentist recommended 2/week but if I stop flossing for over a month I notice significant decrease in my gum health. It becomes excruciatingly painful to brush and this stage and my mouth is full of blood afterwards.

So I'm sticking to flossing pretty often now.

I was 13 and had never touched any OSS software in my entire life give me a break.

you have not even considered that there might be some kinds of helpful resources directly from Arch outside of YT.

You're speaking about this as if it happened yesterday. This experience happened over a decade ago. I am not a teenager, and I am now accustomed to reading and actually learning on the internet. Don't fault me or my entire attention span for some minor, naïve behaviour/mistake I made as a teenager.

This is very fair. I have a close male friend who was the victim of intense domestic violence, physical, emotional and financial manipulation by his ex partner.

He talks about how child support staff (like reception for example) are, are not favouring of him. They see DV in his profile and assume he's the perpetrator instantly. He had to explain himself constantly, no doubt reliving trauma when he does.

He has been struggling with the courts to gain sole custody of his child.

And to top it all off all the posters around these places are, like you say, about women reaching out against their abusive male partners. Which IS an issue and IS statistically more likely. But you make a very good point about these systems being able to help both.

Reading and actually understanding non-trivial text is hard if you are part of a generation that was never challenged to actually learn it.

I don't think this is fair to say. Could be said for the generation after me. Maybe not. I think this kind of sweeping generalisation is not fair on any generation though. There are motivated and lazy people in all generations, as there are people with good/bad attention spans.

And what you've said about YouTube might be true, but it wasn't for me. I did not go to YouTube for the community aspect, but only because like I said before I didn't even know that the Arch wiki was an install guide as well.

Arch wiki would've almost definitely been a way better start!

But I had _just_ ventured into this space. And at the time the wiki format wasn't something I'd ever seen outside of Wikipedia so i never put 2-2 together to figure out the wiki could be used as an install guide. Plus the walls of text were kind of intimidating?

So I jumped to what i knew; YouTube tutorials.

When I was in highschool I had a bunch of free time outside of school days. I used a YouTube guide to install Arch. I failed many many times. But in doing so I almost kind of learnt what each command was doing.

I had the same experience when I installed Gentoo. In both cases at first I was copy/pasting commands, but through failure I ended up understanding a lot of what the commands did.

And what someone else said below is true as well, actually try and force yourself to understand what you're typing. Even briefly just scanning a man page helps a lot.
