  • Mastodon Now Sends Referer Headers! Hurrah!

    Jump

  • Yeah, browser vendors think the same thing, since they are part of the commercial web. Anyway, at minimum, sending referer should be opt-in rather than opt-out.

  • I'm not personally affected since I don't use Mastodon. That doesn't make it a good idea.

  • That doesn't sound good? They are privacy invasive.

  • Thanks, I have that too I think. It's great for sharing from my phone. On my laptop I have a python script that is a lot fancier that I'd like to rewrite as a browser extension someday.

  • Which water filtration pitcher do you use?

    Jump

  • I just drink the tap water. It's ok. Letting it sit for a few hours to let the chlorine escape helps the taste. I haven't thought those pitchers to be any good but who knows. If I really wanted to filter the water, I'd look at an MSR gravity filter or similar.

  • Thanks! I saw the GH issue about that but didn't figure out that it had been deployed.

  • Hmm, I thought ublock origin could only block links, not rewrite them. Am I missing something? I just looked through the docs and only see block/allow/noop rules, and I remember reading something a while back about how the devs didn't want to rewrite. I'd love to have a pointer to the docs about how to do this if I'm wrong. Thanks ;)

    Added: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/b9tdky/rule_for_redirecting_urls_to_cleaner_ones/ points to some github issues related to this.

  • Oh nice, that is pretty new, but will have to see if it works on those gumroad links. I have an offline script (not a browser extension, I haven't bothered figuring out how to write those) that edits urls to remove tracking and it's quite a pain, since there are dozens of sites and tracking schemes it has to know about. Also, rather than creating a pasteable url, a suitable browser extension should just rewrite the link automatically before navitation when you click on it.

  • We need browser extensions to kill those tags automatically.

  • A twenty-five years old curl bug

    Jump

  • They had 1000s of hours of fuzz testing. Model checking means something different.

  • I wonder whether some careful specifications and model checking could have found this.

  • Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.)

    Jump

  • On Lemmy.world it's a weakness. Your instance may vary

  • What general price-range gift do you consider a "stocking stuffer" this year?

    Jump

  • I thought it was the size of the item rather than its cost. So a small expensive item could be a stocking stuffer, but a large cheap one would not be. I'm probably clueless though.

  • What's your hot take on the Marvel cinematic Universe?

    Jump

  • Meh. We have the Trump cinematic universe now, and it has scarier villains.

  • A Step Towards Full Bluesky Federation? | Self Host a Bluesky Atproto Network

  • It's not about the code, it's about control of the servers and feeds. Decentralization doesn't just mean multiple servers. It means no single entity has special authority over the user community. That isn't the case with bluesky from what I can tell.

  • You don't have to be a developer to use Lemmy, yet it has similar features to reddit including search. Maybe there are sociological issues in growing its userbase, but not serious technical ones, as Usenet showed 40 years ago.

    It sounds like mastodon still has technical issues . If Lemmy's were solvable, mastodon's are too. Otherwise, how did mastodon get built in the first place?
