Traceroute traces packets by IP address so he’s “finding” the IP of the virus and then deleting that location which makes no sense because you can’t really delete an IP address.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Looking at it now that looks pretty bad. Was just trying to emphasize I’m not removing it but it definitely looks pretty power trippy and I apologize.

Edit: as far as locking it goes I was getting absolutely bombarded with notifications while at work and I don’t really have an active mod team.

Well, not gonna beat around the bush, was having a shitty day that day for one thing and I did find the report for someone saying “do elon next!” annoying, and then found out the reporter is a known mass reporter for shit like that, so I at the time decided to just “nip it in the bud” if you will. I didn’t think at the time it was a big deal but I guess it was. After a bit of time passed I decided to reverse the ban. I keep forgetting reports go to both instances’ admins, not just me, so reporting something that is against other instances’ rules is fair.

This probably won’t change anyone’s mind but that is my side of the story.

Humped it to smithereens

A cruel jape!

2 cats really isn’t too different than one cat. I mean, yeah, you’ll pay for another vet bill from time to time but it’s usually not that big a deal. If you can afford it I’d say go for it.

No problem! I had the same issue and was losing my mind trying to fix it. It still doesn’t update the timestamp like it should automatically so I’ve been doing it myself.

I believe anything prior to that timestamp will not federate. New stuff should.

Try select * from instance where domain = 'popular.instance'; and see the last time it was updated via the updated column. I’ve been having to update that column with update instance set updated = now(); because once that timestamp becomes older than 3 days your instance assumes it’s “dead”.

I follow a rule that I saw written in sharpie at a hipster bar bathroom in Calgary, Alberta: piss in the sink or sink in the piss.

I have an embroidered, velcro-backed patch of this for my range hat.

The exact scene I thought of when I wrote the title.

That’s different than arguing with people on the internet. Daryl Davis shows these people their shared humanity face-to-face. All I’ve ever seen from letting fash “debate” people on the internet is them slowly spreading their ideology to vulnerable people who are viewing the same conversations. Saying stuff that sounds reasonable on the surface like, “not everyone you disagree with is a nazi” even though they want to kill minorities as if that motive vs not wanting that to happen/doing everything in your power to make sure it doesn’t happen is a simple disagreement.

Nazis/extremists don’t respond to rational arguments against their ideology.

Oh yes

Lmao, I forgot about this video. I think my favorite part of it is when he takes off in his car whistling and runs a stop sign on camera.
