The hated minority being inferior but also immensely powerful is a pretty standard feature of anti-minority world views of all kinds. It is pretty much required to justify the extreme actions they want to take against the minority.

IPv6 binds on wildcard addresses include binding to the IPv4 addresses.

What does ss -tlnp return? Does the process listen on any ports?

That should only affect ports below 1024.

Your two bind addresses might be in conflict with each other since [::]:5234 includes binding to the first one.

While it might be reasonable to expect a web page to behave the way you describe, for anything more in web application territory the expectation that everything you ever loaded will stay visible somehow and available without cooperation of the code implementing the website is ridiculous.

A lot of software writes to log files or temporary files or lock files or database transaction logs as part of its normal function and when those writes fail due to a full disk the software doesn’t work anymore.

Python packaging and stability is a total mess. It has gotten to the point where I just look for alternative tools when I find out something new I found is written in Python.

It is not that the regular frontend doesn’t work and alternative frontends do, it is that half of the stuff on their server (including image uploads and the frontend) don’t work because the admin has no time to deal with it. The problem isn’t the software used but the lack of maintenance.

You want https://tabby.tabbyml.com/ instead of tabby.ml

Especially when all the workarounds to make it barely usable from Mastodon spill over into Lemmy in the form of bots posting weird hashtags or headlines being full of hashtags,…

So really any tab user in any language requiring alignment then?

It is so brave of you to share your struggle with that horrible affliction with us here.

But that is the point. Most people do not use VPNs, you harm very few legitimate customers and save yourself the headache of dealing with all those who use VPNs for scams, attacks, exploits,…

The trade-off is entirely different from dynamic IPs.

Also, the admins running those things don’t do stuff to look like they are doing things, they wouldn’t care if you use a VPN if there was no downside to treating VPN IPs like any other.

No, they are literally not. Blocking VPN users is literally the low effort thing to do because the rate of problematic attacks and similar high effort issues coming from those IPs is much higher than the few legitimate users using VPNs are worth.

the info required was there already, just you needed to put effort in

Not really. This is mostly what this is all about. The companies are insisting that open source projects should do analysis of security impacts in addition to fixing the bugs whenever some “security researcher” runs some low effort fuzzing or static analysis thing that produces large numbers of bug reports and assigns CVEs to them without the consent of the project. The problem is that such an impact analysis is significant effort (often orders of magnitude more than the fix itself) by people with deep knowledge about the code bases and only really useful to the customers of those companies who want to selectively update instead of just applying all the latest fixes.

Talking about PRs being broken and then bringing up email, just about the most broken technology still in wide-spread use, is sort of ironic.

Probably doesn’t happen as much on Windows because Windows has issues replacing files that are open.

Safari is also just one of the forks of the KHTML/WebKit/Blink codebase Chrome is based on. Admittedly they probably implement some of the stuff they do implement themselves too because the common ancestor version is quite a long time ago now.

While true essentially forking the latest stable version of the kernel to make an LTS branch or a vendor version only multiplies the problem, it also does not contribute to solving it.
