@movq tried translating that and it said Art lover/enthusiast, that could be correct since that despise of the artificial stems out of "Love for the Actual _real_ Art" although that's a subjective statement in itself; xD duckduckgo's translation thing spat out "künstliche-Kunsthasser"

@movq IMO, I believe it is all in the quality of the client (mobile, and web). Also, you don't have to hunt/pick for "instances", which arguably presents less friction.

Thank you, @movq! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I don't really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, I've no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys don't know what is in use. O_o
Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The "Connection refused" happens within a few milliseconds.
Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3
You're right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, don't ask, I don't understand it either.)

@lyse Oh gawd. This is the point where computing stops being fun. 😂
- Can you disable the snakeoil junk temporarily? Probably not, eh?
- Have you verified with an external device that it really is your laptop that’s dropping the packets? Like, what does tcpdump on your router see?
If this works reliably in the office, then it feels like some kind of fail-safe mechanism of the snakeoil stuff. If it can’t see its control server (which might only be reachable from the office?), then it shuts down web traffic? Something like that?
Any idea how the snakeoil works? Maybe it does LD_PRELOAD magic to hijack syscalls like connect()? Does it use kernel modules?

@skinshafi Ah nice, it indeed fixed it. I don't get the warning anymore. :-)
@movq Congrats! :-) I still have to survive work next week.
Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil "security" junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate "connection refused" when trying to estabslish a connection.
I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain what's happening.
Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.
What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm certainly not an expert, but I don't see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didn't result in any changes.

a new emmanation of my trusty old vim config, now available as a home-manager nix module. now i can track my dependencies with nix instead of using git subtree and it makes installing backend programs like language servers and such way easier. https://src.ix.cyb.red/pe-vim/

@aelaraji as you can see, not much. Things continue to work fine (my fake one is cached on Neomutt). :-)

If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)
@prologic got to say, after visiting castles, shrines, and similarly antique places in Japan... no comparison. :-) Wife agrees.
@prologic because of his decision to declare martial law (which attempted to ban political activity and censor the media), seemingly out of the blue.

@bender Facing impeachment over what?
@skinshafi it is limited use, for now. I read somewhere (can't remember now where) that efforts were being made to make it to function across all Tildes, but it hasn't gotten too far, so it seems.
@prologic the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The president's defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.

Problem 2: Your SSD-backed database has a usage-pattern that rewards you with a 80% page-cache hit-rate (i.e. 80% of disk reads are served directly out of memory instead of going to the SSD). The median is 50 distinct disk pages for a query to gather its query results (e.g. InnoDB pages in MySQL). What is the expected average query time from your database?

I should remember to Fork-replay for sure, instead of just leaving my replays dangling somewhere bellow the root a yarn/thread ... it becomes kinda hard to follow my own conversations after a while.
@prologic Been planning on using it for building my web-pages on this space 😁 can't wait to see how things would look with the LaTeX css @lyse shared yesterday.
@bender HAHA! Bulletin Butter & Jelly 😂 Love the name! I found it here too but running it throws an error at me. Took note, might _investigate_ later... Gotta a question tho, does it function across the whole tildeverse or is it limited to use within each pubnix like Iris?
@skinshafi You might want to consider adding basic caching support:
… returned 200 but no Last-Modified header - can’t cache content
@prologic @bender Sorry lads! I've just now noticed the whole conversation... reading through right away
Now, let's dig into that CGI stuff...
@movq Fixed, Thanks! had to throw in an export LC_TYPE=C.UTF-8 👌
@bender zs integrates my static server yes 👌

@prologic is zs a web server? I see on the source of the page that is simply posting to /cgi-bin/hello, and some JavaScript to get the value of that post, from the same CGI.
@movq Mastodon offers the "deluxe" experience, but it is a resource hungry beast, that can also be feeble as hell. I miss it, a lot, but am running GoToSocial instead because of its simplicity, and nimbleness.
