It uses other signals too, like what other sites you’ve visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you’re logged into a google account and take that into account.

There’s even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn’t even bother to show a checkbox.

I enjoy OpenMW and I’m happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

Good Girl by Aquilo. It brings up a lot of relatable feelings around growing up Christian and ultimately is quite sweet.

The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.

True, you’re correct. I’m just not sure how you did it without corrupting the sled db. Maybe I’m just unlucky

Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

I think deleting images from the pictrs storage can corrupt the pictrs sled db so I would not advise it, you should go via the purge endpoint on the pictrs API.

Just a note that my PR there doesn’t disable pictrs for your own instance’s users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

The Lemmy instance I’m speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.

I ran this query:

select distinct thumbnail_url as url from post where not local and thumbnail_url like 'https://campfyre.nickwebster.dev/pictrs%'

(replace with your instance’s url)

I then sent delete requests to /internal/purge on pictrs to delete all of those old thumbnails, which cleared out a lot of space. After deleting the thumbnails I ran an UPDATE query to set all of those old thumbnail URLs to null in the DB. I also patched the version of lemmy that I run to stop caching thumbnails in the future. Hope this helps!

beamer

I’ve used beamer before but honestly LaTeX is awful to use. It’s the standard tool so I have to use it for my work but I hate every minute of it.

Sync for Lemmy, JetBrains IDEs, and Sublime Text to name a few.

Thanks, just bought the ads removal

I feel like shitty sites getting too good at SEO has largely made google useless. That’s why you had to append “Reddit” to get any useful info that wasn’t from some SEO scamsite.

Because I thought it’d be interesting to try hosting one myself.

Thanks. Also, there’s no language selector on comments so some communities will not let you submit comments.

It’s so nice to have this app back!

One quick thing, comment threads can appear out of order when using “top” as the sorting mechanism instead of “hot”

You tend to see child comment chains detached from their parents.

Typing this in it now, and wow I’ve missed Sync.

I’m so glad we have it back.
