  • A group of friends and I had a little website we used as a precusor to modern day social media. I made a comment on a post on there where I linked to an image on SA. Little did I know that Lowtax didn’t use goatse. No he used a very high resolution close-up image of the head of a penis with a drop of pre-finishing liquid oozing out.

    So I post this comment from my desk and go back to work. About 30-minutes later, my roommate, who sat a few cubicles down from me says my name. Not like normal, his voice broke as he was saying it. I’m like, “what?” He says, “what did you post to the site?” I told him and he says that is not at all what he’s seeing. I go over there and holy shit all 1600x1200 pixels of his 21” CRT is filled with this engorged dickhead!

    We reached out to the site admin and told him what happened. He deleted the image ref and I posted a comment explaining what happened.

    Another time, at my same cubicle desktop, I updated my Linux workstation and went to lunch. When I get back, my screensaver is just a whole bunch of very explicit porn images. Apparently Jamie Zawenski(sp?), the maintainer of xscreensaver, thought it would be a good idea to introduces a new screensaver that went out and eandomly pulled images from anywhere on the web. So that was fun.

    Agreed, iCloud Photos is pretty nice. I almost gave in when they added the AI features and text recognition. Unfortunately, my library started having some stability issues. Was finally, hopefully, able to resolve those yesterday.

    Still, one of the nice things about most of the photo hosting apps is they store photo metadata properly - in sidecar files. If they go tits up, and you maintained your metadata you really haven’t lost much. If the Photos DB gets corrupted, you’re going to lose data that would otherwise have been stored in those sidecar files. IMO this is a glaring omission on Apple’s part. I get that having all that info in a database makes larger libraries perform better, but por que no los dos?




  • I’ve seen some examples where Caddy can do some cool stuff (I think the example I saw recently was defining routes that can call an arbitrary program with the HTTP request details).

    I guess this is what I was getting at. From what I can tell, at their core, both do pretty much what Swag is already doing for me. Was mainly curious about additional functionality I hadn’t thought of. Most of what I’ve done so far is stuff I hadn’t thought of until I saw it mentioned here, reddit, or in the linuxserver list.
