Bro.. back home 1US is $200 for me
That must be nice
well DC has always been democratic..
I can get a Coke with that
maybe that's why it's poor
That's expensive
that's how they keep their slave plantation running
What is this the 18th century
party of the KKK, anti civil rights, fought for the right to own slaves..
There were plantations in the 1700s
i guess
should we really be delving into politics here?
No, modern day plantations are more about how to victimize people and keep them 'oppressed' and dumb so they can take advantage of them
Political discussions happen on this server fairly often actually
its all the eu guys ever talk about lol
really?
It's fine as long as it's in the off-topic channels and stays civil
poverty comes from somewhere..
okay
We have 3 off-topic channels for a reason after all ๐
what the heck
I have 200mbps down
You try 2019 yet?
Ye
Metasploit 5?
Normal so far
First release in 8 years
I don't really use exploits
oh realllyyy
I play with stuff
beat this ๐
cant tell if it says Fast or Easy
38ms 
Hmm I'm only geting ~50-60 right now though
fast
Could buy up to 900mbps down now I think but not worth the money tbh
Oh Google has one now? That's nifty.
stop flexing ๐ข
Only got 32.9
Only flexing because I used to be in the deep northwest and had shit internet at ridiculous rates
$80/mo for 30 mbps down that I rarely saw
...
what
im suppose to get 600 down
Madi I am jealous
you pay for internet? le gasp
You should setup the Comcast Twitter bot
Im enjoying the hotel wifi while it lasts
wow i have twice the speed as guyana
lol
In Soviet Russia, Internet pays you..
There's a guy who has a R-Pi setup that checks his speed every so often and tweets @comcast when it's slower than the speed he pays for
@rough sapphire How so ?
lol
im going to try again if i get shit again im calling shaw tommorow
anyway, in Japan your internet is covered with rent..
That sounds nice on the face of it
"shit"
Though I feel like you'd get medoicre speeds Tron
Oh yeah SouthKorea
asia has much better internet than US i think
if you try to download something... uhm.. you shouldn't.. like Movies..
atleast the parts with internet
Japan throttles those..
lol
use vpn hm
https://www.speedtest.net/result/8057396398.png a bit better but still
Can imagine my smart tv doesn't have youtube ?
but if I'm trying to download games on Steam.. a 58gb download takes couple of minutes..
Just a browser and free cable

same
I enjoy nickelodeon
just set a bookmark for youtube
I like spongebob
In South Korea you can download anything.. they don't throttle.. but probably should use vpn
still better than mine
Uh anyone here have a link to the uh unity discord?
All good
Yes, Netherlands
I didnt want to take the effort to google it
Very old building with no modern connection to the outside world
Ok, in that case I rescind my apology
I have 200mbps download and 50mbps upload, but because the cable i use, it's max is 100mpbs
i think almost as bad as this
Thought I was the only one with 10/100 equipment laying around anymore
I dont want your apology.. I want recognition.. a name tag :v
1000/1000 finally made it to my area
Wow
not exactly google fiber prices, but its nice to see
Those are the type of speeds that make me happy
fibre is how fast usually?
i dream of a quarter of a gigabit
Depends
that sounds amazing
yep
Enterprise goes up to 40 and 100
oh i see there is a town like 45 min away and the college their gives everyone free fibre lol
You can get gigabit in copper in some areas here
probably with a ton of restrictions
My office at school had 500mbps down since it was on the research backbone for the state
Yes Coax is perfectly capable of gigabit
no our isp's are terrible for infrastucture outside of citys so the town said fuck you and did their own thing
As long as you have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem I think with enough channels
a major engineering university of some friends of mine expelled some students for repeated torrenting on their connections
lol.. my university sent out a warning once
when someone was using torrents on the school network
very paranoid about that thing they are.. in the EU
The latest docsis can do a theoretical 10gigabit on copper
if youre dumb enough to get caught you deserve the punishment
you could probably get around it with a VPN though
I remember the old ad.. you wouldn't steal a car..
have you guys seen that one
yea once or twice
DOCSIS 3.1?
My school just cuts you off entirely for a few minutes if you download too much in a short time
their is not much of a point in canada to use vpns for torrenting
Torrenting kills bandwidth right ?
So edgy it could cut
i dont think so
I like how you now can technically download a rudimentary car (3d printing)
@rough sapphire why did they issue warning then ?
new ad: You can't download a.... I mean.... shit...
I do torrenting
@granite lake they couldn't find out who it was ..probably..
Why
It's the fastest way to get OS images lmao
Is it bad ?
so they sent out a general email..
Weird
bittorrent is amazing technology
Torrenting isn't bad
Sounds like an incompetant IT department
How could they not figure it out.
BitTorrent the company is garbage now, however
anti GTA ad: You wouldn't pirate a movie.
The dept at my school nails people all the time
Its an alternative way of sharing files
Do you not have personal accounts you connect with?
authorities can be dumb at times
They know what port you're connected to
Because HEY ENTERPRISE NETWORKING
It's amazing
Ever since Bram Cohen left the company, they're just been trying to whore it out for money now.
Jack B-E-45G...who lives in that dorm? Kenny?
utorrent used to be the gold standard of clients, its now garbage
qBittorrent
utorrent is bad
Works flawlessly and is open-source
vuze is good
yep thats what I use nowadays, I'm 90% happy with it
It comes with spyware upon installation
i hate vuze
But I don't use torrents much
oh.. maybe I should switch lol
but i use it
what does
Just to download OS images
I've always used utorrent
i always used vuze
LimeWire free used to download LimeWire pro
I used Azureus and then moved to utorrent
lol
See, I lived in the LimeWire era but never used it
@stark prawn meta
limewire was cool until I downloaded a music video for my sister that she wanted to see, and then I open it and it ends up being porn
hey how are you fiberoptics?
that was a nice memory
qbittorrent looks good but too retro
lmao
limewire was mostly porn
lol it was always porn or a trojan
That's what you get for downloading random shit from the internet
good kazo
whats limewire
thats why you check reviews/comments
that's where I got mine when I didn't know where to find it...
nice
its old utorrent
there were reviews in limewire?
pre-bittorrent protocol file sharing
but torrent sites have them
I never googled... I was paranoid they were tracking me lol
Or duckduckgo I guess
this was when I was young.. guys cmon..
I'm lazy and like Google tracking me
I stopped using Google for searches
Gives me better results
I thought the police would come knocking on my door if I searched for porn :v
Maybe they'll give me a job
otherwise than for personalised results
the christan police
No one can track you unless you enable history in your account
exactly
@rough sapphire only if your in the uk
just use incognito
guys just use privacy mode then they cant track you gezzzzzzzzzzzzz
And you won't know
BrowsingHistoryView is a utility that reads the history data of 4 different Web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari) and displays the browsing history of all these Web browsers in one table
Look at this tool
If you're actually paranoid then use Tor in a VM
lol
Sure they can't track your traffic but they can read your local storage
๐ฆ
Just randomize your MAC
Windows actually has a option to do that now
You can turn it on/off per-network
So can have it enabled for, say, Starbucks Wi-Fi but not your home wifi
yep but you cant do it on cmd line i dont think
You probably can
i tried i failed
yea i used to use a vpn on top of a vm on top of tor
It's just probably obtuse as hell
i couldnt figure it out
isnt there an os that can automatically split program into their own sandbox/vm specifically for this purpose?
You can access pretty much everything via PowerShell given enough dedication to figure out how the heck you do
if you figure it out let me know
QubesOS
that's the one
cause im trying to write a program for it
TailsOS
It runs a Xen hypervisor
like i brought up all the ipconfig commands i dunnoo
Technitium MAC Address Changer (TMAC) is a freeware utility to instantly change or spoof MAC Address of any network card (NIC).
For windows
they wrote the program im writing and have gui for windows everything is done already
jk jk but still
how fuck do you get it from cmd line
It's probably a registry setting
I once did a lecture on it
Figure out where the option is in Group Policy
Then figure out what key GP is setting
And you're golden
Something like that
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10baZEw9MCqexAe5KpTJxWg_QS0eO1SCFbY2nTLcpPRM/edit?usp=sharing
i prefer pc c:
there's software that does that too, randomizes it and subsequently changes your IP
Not Macs silly
i know
Kinda want to make a changer that makes the vendor OUI all the weird esoteric ones that are defined in the Manuf file but don't exist anymore
Just to screw with IT departments
I have not kazo
I'm sure it would be a fun project though
stayed for data science though
@shell blade Is it you who was in the slides I just sent ?
@tame pier devious
its fun but i dont have enough ideas to add
Someone is reading
nope
kek
I could imagine Discord has a nice API to play around with
discord exposes nsfw users
ill look at it later
its fun
its one of those things that just gets better the more you learn python
00:00:18 WebsterC Webster Computer Corporation # Appletalk/Ethernet Gateway
Like yes this appletalk gateway is transmitting 2gbps of data
i havent used wire shark is so long i'm pretty sure i forgot how all the protocols work lol
Does it now
Can't believe people have a server called || Mutual masturbation ||
NSFW warning behind hidden text
how do i hide it once i clicked it papa
Please don't share that even if it's hidden
what servers am i in
i just remember im in an old discord server
called official bondage server
lol
lol, a toggleable spoiler would just be weird
some things i just want to un see
same
true.... thats a use case for it
is it any good
ye
nice
gotta play to experience the fun
I used to play games a lot when I was younger. all I've touched in years is Factorio now
im in a giveaway for a switch and it makes me anxious
lol
haha
ps and xbox working on their next gen consoles rn
havent they for like 3 years now
ps5 and xbox scarlet/anaconda
i head their still gonna be shit
yea i feel you @rough sapphire
i used to play a lot of games
but recently have stopped
they don't have a proper approach for making consoles
so much that
how so @granite lake
i think i have almost a year (!) in hours on gmod
that's a lot of minging
the device itself should be great even if you don't have internet or game discs
with bobble head dudes
modding might be fun some day too
and other stuff
I haven't been on gmod in.... 8+ years
its not just that they seem to put outdated parts in them too i wouldnt be surprised if they used arm
i havent been on in uhh
almost a month
but about a year since ive played multiplayer
online multiplayer*
probably more
I used to play on PVP servers. so it was building + killing
I'd join the server early and afk, and put a bunch of invisible cameras all over the map
i had this one server i used to play all the time but slowly it got worse over time
so I secretly knew where everyone was
Minecraft and Roblox are the best sandbox games rn
the sandbox server of the network was the best but i think it went offline ages ago
that server was my first introduction to regex
still unsure as to what it is though
or not regex i dont think
but expressions
minecraft is a really cool concept. I dont like how levels dont carry through versions, however
i grew out of minecraft around 1.8
I'd want to make a lifelong level that I turn into a masterpiece, but that requires you falling behind versions
thatd be cool
honestly i think minecraft has just lost all appeal for me
i cant ever see enjoying it for a long time
even w/ mods
did you guys ever hear of that one anarchy server, and there was this massive collaborative base?
ive heard of anarchy servers but i dont think ive ever been on one
unless you count popular faction servers w/o /wild
lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN1r7zJ0nYM people made this thing on a pvp, no rules server
Today, we explore the base that rose from the ashes of Aureus City. My Twitter: https://twitter.com/SonOfShoop My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitmcs...
and it was then found because someone revealed the coordinates, and was destroyed
lol thats cool
i cant remember the quote
but something like through entropy emerges beauty or something like that
they built it far far far away from spawn so it would be extremely difficult to ever find
๐ช night guys
nitey night
night
how do you get far from spawn in those servers
seems like itd take weeks of walking nonstop
ive walked for days on faction servers even in underworld it takes days
worse still, people camp spawn and try to kill you there
its nearly impossible to get that far and still be interested by the time you get there
yea
whats neat is though is that the server was never reset since it was made
there's ruins of villages with signs from 2010-2011
the world size.....
i remember being in a hotel room in seattle and being satisfied by making a stone sky scraper in flatgrass
is 3700 GB
lol yeah I remember those days
I never really did too much above ground stuff, I liked making huge underground complexes
i remember spending hours making my own towns around the time custom flatgrasses were added
and making my own little economy
and stuff
yea
Played back when it was Alpha and Beta
i havent played anything past 1.7.10 since 1.8 was released
Went to the first Minecon with brother
lol
very cool
the newer versions are just adding content, not so much features
god i remember building giant mansions on creative servers
terra cotta, fishes, etc
yea
Digdigdig
more or less
Mods were cool
yea
Adding fancy blocks to make fancy houses
but atleast you had a choice if you wanted them or not
Also fuck water
now if you want the latest version you have to have them
Water was the bane of my existance
hm
So hard to make it look exactly how you want
It'll be a little bit not flat
Or slanted in the wrong direction
or just disappear randomly
uh
I'm a perfectionist ok?
lol ok
earlier last year i played a bit of modded
didnt get too far but made a nice base spanning a couple mountains
was in 1.7.10
yea not sure if those were the best
they were a bit wild
the technic packs were cool
whatever, water under the bridge at this point lol
industrialcraft2 was awesome
that actually was the inspiration behind factorio, btw
I believe one of the mod devs are now working at Wube (the dev house for factorio)
serious
you can see the similarities
it pays off to have a good mind
yea
gnite Jason
gn
i was thinking back a year ago when i was playing that modded world w/ mountains n stuff
and i remember i was going to set up a server for me an my friend to play on
and i kept adding mods and stuff but this was by hand since i was hosting it on my own
plugins*
so a lot of stuff broke
and i remember being so happy fixing problems for some reason
i realize now thats a good reason to be a programmer lol
the little things
yeah it changes your outlook on things
what does
getting into programming was one of the best choices I've ever made
getting into programming lol
oh yea
i remember a year or two ago when i first used python i hated it because i didnt know what to do and i didnt know squat or how to know squat
i think the problem solving aspect of it is what i like the most
it was overwhelming for me at first, but it grew on me
yea
last summer I made it a point to watch a python conference talk on youtube daily, or any other generic talk on programming/architecture/things of that nature
microarchitecture is fascinating
whats that?
pretend you want to make a large program
instead of having it a single piece of code that runs by itself,
you break down the code, and each of them run as their own instances
and they communicate by sending data to one another
that's how services like netflix works
I don't know about the first one, but asyncio is part of it
just imagine different machines doing different things
this goes into cloud computing too
where instead of needing one huge monolithic server (which netflix and I believe amazon used to be), their services are now ran on relatively much cheaper boxes
wow
so servers can break or fail, and software automatically reroutes traffic
so from the user's perspective, there's no disruption in service
i thought that was the norm
it was in the earlier 2000's
a bunch of different servers in a room
well it still is that way, but the change is in how they interface with one another
why isnt it anymore
and how code is distributed amongst them
greater modularity = easier to develop and fix
and like I touched on earlier, greater reliability
lower costs
oh okay
the tradeoff is the code can be mildly more complicated
since each running instance needs to have the logic on how to handle faults
BTW you can control Minecraft from Python
for instance a server is requesting user information from a database, and it hasn't received a reply in 3000ms.... is there a problem? should you wait still? what if the data is corrupted?
so each instance needs to know how to deal with these issues on its own
so it really all boils down to what tradeoffs are more valuable to you, which is a reflection of what you're building in the first place
Microservices
how so KE?
okay
oh hey knownerror, didnt know it was you from the name change ./
its an interesting realm
How many mods are there awake at this time?
you + 2 it seems
if poke is awake
and eivl is playing the great game called Sublime IDE
favorite game
Ive tried a few others briefly, but I like pycharm more by a large margin
PyCharm is glorious
So, one of the key ideas behind microservices is state, or lack thereof
All your state is in a key-value store like Redis or a database
ah, I can see why
yea i like pycharm too, ive onyl ever tried vs community as well
That frees you up to scale your business logic
looks like ill need a new IDE though since im learning SQL
IIRC, one key feature of Kubernetes is dynamic load scaling
When load increases, it spins up more containers
When the load dies down, it kills them off
It also preserves availability with self healing
can it?
If it determines there needs to be 10500 containers to handle the current load levels, and then 500 die due to an error, it'll respawn 500 to replace them.
yeah it has a built in SQL viewer
I've never actually used the database features of PyCharm lol
I'm sure that helps a lot when you're running a large service on a bunch of EC2 instances, for instance
Yup exactly
It also scales across compute nodes
Let's say we need 10,500 containers
there are 10 nodes
where do i install SQL
It will determine where to spawn those containers based on host load
Or other methods, configurable of course
Also all the inter-container traffic is secure
I think Docker can standup it's own Private Key Infrastructure and use TLS between the host nodes
are any of these servers running SSD's, or is it usually enterprise-grade HDDs?
Which means all the inter-container traffic goes over encrypted TLS tunnels
Really depends
I think most places are moving to SSDs for high-load environments like web services
HDDs are problematic nowadays
The failure rate on, say, a 8TB drive is concerning enough that even RAID 6 is not enough
You could have a drive fail, and have another fail while the RAID is rebuilding from the first failure
And then have your second redundant <wordi'mforgetting> drive fail too
Parity
RAID 5 has 1 parity, 6 has 2 parities
I read somewhere vibration can become an issue on large drive arrays as well
Of course if you're just caching then RAID is pointless
Yes
So yeah SSDs have a lot of advantages in addition to having higher bandwidth and response times
However, their lifespans used to pale in comparison to HDDs
I think that's changed the last few years
I think there's some algos some SSD's use to balance out allocation to extend its lifespan
there's a name for them that I cannot recall
Yes
so basically if you're only using 10% of the drive and beating it up day in and day out, from what I understood you will lose that space when it fails (how the hardware handles that and shrinks its size, I don't know)
vs the algo so it in theory all fails at once
Which is tangentially one of the many reasons forensics on SSDs is a bitch and a half
Yes, however drive makers usually add extra storage to account for that
oh I didn't know that
So if you buy a 120GB drive it might actually have 128GB with 8 GB of sectors in reserve
Well, not sectors, whatevertheyrecalled
Clusters?
Can't recall
you're close I think lol
so that space is not used until a failure is detected?
and then it begins replacing address space from the 'original' drive?
Yeh
neato
blocks?
point taken though
that's something I should check, I have 2 from 2015 in RAID 0
as long as they're samsung you should be good ๐
its had a few upgrades, but this is my box: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PointA2B/saved/hLghP6
ive heard some bad stories about kingston/crucial ssds
they are crucial
fffuuuuuu-
for what its worth though, I've had no problems so far
and its seriously fast
it was my first computer I built, it was a lot of fun
I have a few multi terabyte externals from WD
I have a MX500
It has been one hell of a problem child tho
Thank goodness for my SanDisk and many Samsungs
Mini ITX very nice
its this constant cycle.... my drive fills up and is almost full from torrents/downloads, flush it into my library and delete the rest, and its back almost empty again
its a very small computer
you could actually probably take out one of the drives in the externals and use that as an internal
I've a 4790k and a Gigabyte Z97 as well
honestly not much room in the case
I was concerned with airflow since its overclocked
nice 4th gen represent ๐ @tame pier
Just tried to search for System Information to remember what mobo model I had....
which is why I got the best air cooled solution (noctua) for the peace of mind
did the z97s get bios updates yet for spectre/meltdown?
i was considering buying one but couldnt find any
mine didn't
:/
Ah yes, Gigabyte UD5H
hmm, looks like there's a beta bios from 2017/11/14 for the UD5H
that was before meltdown/spectre wasnt it?
Yeah
man come on gigabyte
i wonder what the workflow for developing BIOSes for so many MBs is like
lol
By sweatshops in China
lol
programming in assembly is one thing I never hope to do in my life
maybe one day if risc5 really takes off we'll have an open source bios for all mbs
I've had friends who have had to make simple software with it for some EE classes at university
you'll be pleasantly surprised with price drops with some things
Yeah
Thinking about doing a server build soon
Mini ITX
For file storage and media serving
unreal...
that sounds nice
I'm split between doing that or just getting a synology NAS
I try to buy quality when I get drives, but I still don't like them being on single drives on something that could possibly fall, break, etc
the jump from price difference between 250 to 500 and 500 to 1tb is insane
psa: never buy toshiba drives
why not
dont have overvoltage protection apparently
I've heard horrible things about their hard drives a long time ago
๐คท
lol
but also another, very important psa in the same vein
what would you do with all the excess space?
never mix and match power supply cables ๐
Uhhhh
Yeah I mayyyyy have fried a drive that way
Modular PSU
"uh it fits must be fine"
It wasn't fine
thing is i was so super careful about everything else, making sure i was grounded blahblahblah
and then forgot to swap out the power cable
boom, dead drive pcb
from what ive read, it's usually easy to fix by replacing the blown tvs diodes at the power connector
but gg toshiba
who didnt include said diodes ๐
there's even an empty space on the circuit where it looks like they were going to add them
just googling around and asking around on forums and stuff
yeah
i ordered a donor board
donor?
gonna try and salvage it by transferring the flash memory chips
daughter?
well, afaik, in the hard drive recovery scene they call spare boards donor boards
you get a board from a drive with the same model/make and you swap out the bios/firmware chips which contain special unique data associated with the working of that drive
and theoretically it should work. assuming the flash chips arent fried.
Hmm
my fingers are crossed that some other component took the hit and prevented them from getting damaged
Yeah, the flash would have the drive block mapping right?
not really sure tbh, it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer
the general term is 'adaptive data' i believe
so like, when they're calibrating the drives they store the relevant data on those chips, as well as locations for finding firmware on the drive, and other bios/SMART related stuff i assume
Huh
Donor seems like the right word yeah
something about calibrating spindle pressures
Spindle?
oh wait no sorry, just googled it, that's wrong. spindle holds the platters in place.
i think head is the right term
gnight

Anyone using Travis CI may want to know about this, https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/at3oyq/it_looks_like_ibera_is_gutting_travis_ci_just_a/
It's sadly something that happens somewhat commonly.
Buy company, get rid of all customers, use tech for self.
My CI of choice is azure :P
whats a CI?
continuous integration
oh ok
it means that like, when you push a commit to your repository on github, your CI software will run a set selection of tasks (linting, testing, building and deployment)
ohh

What happened on azure?
i was setting up the code jam baseplate and had some issues with the python version settings
poetry did not recognise it
in the end we just went with pipenv
def __init__(self, user, passwd, db):
self._db = MySQLdb.connect(user=user, passwd=passwd, db=db, charset="utf8mb4")
self._db.autocommit(True)
self.cur = self._db.cursor()
def __del__(self):
self.cur.close()
self._db.close()
so does __del__ get called only when reference count drops to 0, or will it also be called if the python script ends?
rust is also migrating from travis soon https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/which-ci-platform-should-rust-use/9322
[0] ```py
C:\Windows\System32>python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
class Test:

hello``` @sullen thorn apparently it is called when the python script ends
wait what?
Anyone using Travis CI may want to know about this, https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/at3oyq/it_looks_like_ibera_is_gutting_travis_ci_just_a/
yeah sharp copied the message
nah its cuz i didnt see it
so do azure and gitlab come with CI or something?
gitlab for sure
Everything listed so far does
that azure integration has been there far longer than that though
Azure or circle CI is what I'm moving too
Azure seems a bit.... over the top
@tired osprey get out
Go take your art exam lol
its tomorrow at 9:30
i havent seen that ad
I haven't seen either of those ads!
Although after I heard about YT's current pedophile problem I'm inclined to maybe install a second adblocker :P
be glad about not having seen those ads
TikTok ads?
For reference if anyone was wondering https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/02/21/youtube-losing-advertisers-after-video-reveals-recommendation-wormhole-of-pedophiles/
they took down a bunch of pokemon videos because there's an in-game stat called "CP"
lol
tumblr did the same thing with posts about chronic pain
That's pretty amusing
cant wait until they ban dominos for posting about "cheese pizza"
That's an old one
Haha, I'm reminded of my friend showing me around torchan
Where they have a board that is literally photos of pizzas
Guess this is a problem every big platform has to face...
Yeah, but it's not like they didn't know
the problem in my opinion
is that it's probably actually impossible to effectively moderate a site above a certain size
in that you'd need paid staff to do it effectively, and the amount of work scales non-linearly and it's too much and there's no way for them to make enough money to do it
they will never admit this because at that point the only thing they can ethically do is shut it down
True
so we keep getting mistargeted semiautomated half-measures
That's not really the problem
because their jobs, their entire company, depends on believing it is possible to solve the problem this way
Their recommendations algorithm is broken in such a way that in a couple clicks, you can get stuck in the so-called wormhole
it's the same for copyright, for hatespeech, and for this
Where all of your recommendations are suddenly these videos of kids
Which is problematic for sure
that's another problem, sure
But fixing this problem is a far greater problem
discord is doing a real bad job with this stuff
I wish I had something nice to say about t+s lol
ive talked to my friend before and he can find a cp discord in a couple hours its disgusting
just on public onion sites
To be fair, the darknet isn't exactly... Secretive about that content
so im not going to comment on it
Thing is the discord admins messed up
it isnt but it shows discord isnt actively looking for those discords
They're actually under investigation at the moment related to warez
i heard that, whats going on with that?
They forbid Loli content but didnt say that Cub content (Loli-Furry-pawn) is forbidden, they even said "nah dude its not the same and is allowed"
That's been rectified now, yeah
Not in these words but you get it
True that
For me though it doesn't have any teeth
In my experience, t+s won't deal with the harder issues
Giving it teeth is like making a dead body alive again
Small harassment, self harm, sure, they'll definitely help you
what is this with teeth
You can try it but in the end it'll be useless nonetheless
It's a figure of speech
oh
If you want to give something teeth you are basically saying: Its not dangerous/intimidating enough, make it more dangerous/initimidating
if i got that correctly
Basically
What I'm saying is the policy has been corrected
I'm not convinced it'll result in more server bans
A wolf without teeth wont really hurt you, A wolf with teeth... yeah run
And it most certainly wont result in more server bans, due to the fact that you can have as many servers and as many accounts as you want
@gusty tulip "teeth" is a pretty commonly used metaphor for the ability to actually enforce a law/regulation/policy
surprised you haven't heard it before
Ah thats what I was searching for
Yeah we use it a lot here lol
Had it in my mind, somewhere
But yeah, like, for example
I've been targeted by some pretty serious harassment
I know of servers with huge terms of service violations that have been reported, some of which are like, pivotal
T+S, not interested
So I really dunno what to say lol
Yeah I guess we backtracked to the point of Random's statement from earlier: It's almost, if not completely impossible to moderate a platform at a certain size
Hmm, no, I don't think that's true
It just depends on your resources and how much work you're willing to put in
YouTube has shown that algorithms can at least be partially effective
And that thing costed a fortune already
The cost of such a moderation algorithm must be prohibitively expensive and than it's not even guaranteed that it works perfectly
Yeah but you do understand
In the case of discord, t+s is like 5 people
I think part of that is because they don't do remote work
t+s means what exactly? :o
Trust and safety
Yeah it's a surprisingly small team lol
every other social media site has, like, a small army of people evaluating reports in like a call center in india or something
Which is great but
I mean I get that having servers self-moderate and no DMs from anyone who's not a friend or shares servers in common reduces a lot of the workload relative to individual problem users... i'd still expect them to need a lot more people than 5
If you cant evaluate these reports so that you dont have a leftover, they'll stack and stack and stack until there is no hope
Than again, would these people be able to evaluate all these reports?
with 5 people tehre would probably be times that noone is available
That's what I'm thinking
