    TIL The average erect penis size is 5.5 inches, The average flaccid penis is 3.6 inches. A 6 inch penis is above avg. About 1 in 100 have an have an erect penis 7inch and above.

  • Besides the obvious problem of racialised body proportion comparisons (and more so: genitalia focused ones introduced as ‘Chinese pee-pee’ and ‘African tribal DICK’) - the term itself also remains one reliant on reductive exoticism that’s highly othering. Finding humour in stereotypes doesn’t negate harm.

    Want to highlight a specific geography? Use the region. Want to highlight a specific population or ethnic group? Use that. Want to talk about your scientific racism and at least sound believable? - at least just use ‘sub-Saharan Africa’ so not everyone spots that you’re a nut instantly.

  • Arch Linux AUR Malware Campaign Hits Multiple User-Contributed Packages

    Jump

  • And just to be very explicit why this is an issue: each time the package is upgraded through an automated update, the PKGBUILD may change (e.g. to adapt to different dependencies, file structure, etc introduced with new app version).

    That also means an AUR maintainer can smuggle in malware with any of those updates, even if you checked the original PKGBUiLD when you installed. And, anyone can request taking over maintenance for unmaintained packages, so it can even happen if the original maintainer was benevolent.

    Always check PKGBUILD files on upgrade, even if just a glance. If I remember correctly yay had a function to always show you PKGBUILD diffs before updates, not sure if that was automatically enabled.

  • Kittygram v1.1 has released

  • isn't the better solution not to accept PRs from unknown / untrusted sources

    I think that's partly the point of this exercise - if they find a meow they now know this is an untrusted source.

    Because it's pretty easy to say 'ignore untrusted sources' but when you're maintaining an open source repo (especially if it's still pretty small/new) this detection is part of the cognitive burden. Almost every contribution will technically be from an unknown source for a long time, until, if you're lucky, some drive-by contributors turn regular.

  • Rsync author responds to online outrage about his usage of LLMs

    Jump

  • I can’t argue the current usage as I’m not terminally online enough anymore to have that knowledge but the original online usage of red-pill and ‘redpilling’ somebody was absolutely intrinsically connected to far-right and incel online spaces.

    When you say it “developed across the whole internet, not just within incel communities” this is evidentially wrong. Early use was based around 4chan and manosphere/MRA ‘gender-truths’ and then increasingly co-opted by the alt-right pipeline to invoke a rejection of what they saw as the liberal status quo. Redpilling in its early use was basically slowly radicalising somebody to extreme alt-right viewpoints.

    It’s one of the phenomena of linguistic appropriation (matrix redpill & trans-identity notions -> right-wing appropriation, gender standards and conservative values -> wide-spread normalization also outside strictly political contexts) by the right that words like woke, privileged also went through.

  • AMD pulls a bait-and-switch on Linux users with Vivado licensing changes

    Jump

  • You'll have to point me even closer because none of the comments I have seen on that post state what happened is different than what I described above?

    I can see a comment stating the switch is justified in their eyes, but it doesn't negate that it is a bait-and-switch model.

  • AMD pulls a bait-and-switch on Linux users with Vivado licensing changes

    Jump

  • Can you explain?

    As far as I can see OP took the original article headline verbatim; the article itself does describe the exact kind of bait-and-switch model as I've heard it used: company offers open standard edition, after a while switches it to basic / 'core' offering which locks e.g. Linux access behind a (steep) paywall.

  • Interview with the Engineer of Uruky, a Private Search Engine

    Jump

  • SearX really works best if you run your own node, not using one of the public ones. I run one on a tiny vps and it’s never blocked by any of the engines.

    Caveat: you do give up some of the privacy advantages by being the only user. Thus, I invited my friends and family to also use it and it still works perfectly well. (ofc maybe just none of them actually use it and they’re just being polite about it)

  • I'm sorry for who fell for the relentless marketing

    Jump

  • Paperless

    Jump

  • Hold on, I'm a little confused. Are you talking about paperless the document management software (and it's ng/ngx forks) or a different software with the same name?

    Because you can set up mail inbox processing in that software but I'm not sure how that connects to forwarding to multiple different mailboxes, or vice versa profit from merging multiple forwards.

  • Forgejo v15.0 is available

    Jump

  • That’s brilliant news!

    I know this is still just very basic federation with mutual following of users, etc. - but having a working mvp implementation of this makes me really hopeful for the stepwise introduction of more and more federation goals to come to fruition.

  • GitHub - Dr-Blank/Vaani: Beautiful, Fast and Functional client for your Audiobookshelf server.

    Jump

  • Just throwing another alternative out there which I've been very happy with: lissen - 'Clean audiobookshelf player'.

    Has streaming/downloading for offline listening, sleep timer, custom bookmarks and custom speeds. Just the browsing functionality is at best 'functional' (nice search but if you don't know what to listen to next just gives you one long list sorted by title)

  • What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?

    Jump

  • I read the farseer trilogy last year and… man it’s a tough read. Not because of the writing - I was blown away by the prose, it is incredibly evocative - but just because they’re so relentlessly harsh.

    Still taking some time off before any further Hobb books for that reason alone.

  • What is that one software that you are using for 10 years and still loving it?

    Jump

  • aerc is a very nice, a little less fiddly modern alternative for me nowadays

  • Home Maintenance Reminder system

    Jump

  • I am one of those happy taskwarrior users. For more advanced recurrence syntax in taskwarrior there’s also the relatively new nautical extension. It essentially splits recurrence into things that recur based on calendar/clock events (e.g. every first workday of the month, every second Sunday, etc.) or based on previous completions (e.g. do something 3 days after last time, or every x hours after last doing it).

    It’s pretty neat and functional but, fair warning, also early on in development and changing quite radically through its versions still.

  • GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all

    Jump

  • Otherwise also codeberg.org has a pages feature for a while.

    And others that come to mind are surge.sh, Netlify, and Vercel that I think all offer simple one-push static hosting. Vercel and Render can also do dynamic pages, not sure about the others.

    Edit: oh and of course GitLab if you’re looking for an almost 1-to-1 Pages experience.

  • While I’m a big proponent of version pinning your critical services, if you’re running stuff in docker swarm shepherd is a solid service updater for the less critical things.

  • LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats

  • Whoa I didn’t know that was an option, is it part of the export menu? That would make some of my - we needed to change something after all - situations much easier at work.
