People do get confused by licensing in general, and even more so about the consequences. Developers are not lawyers.

There are plenty of guides, but most are written by people arguing for a particular license so do not come across as impartial.

IMO people need to ask questions such as whether they want to allow proprietary forks, whether they want anti-tivoisation, whether people using an install over a network need access to the code, etc. and then decide on a license. If you know what you want then it should not be hard to narrow down the choice.

> I don't personally know enough about licensing to say whether a sentence in the README.md (saying it can't be sold) is enough to override the LICENSE.md (which says it can be sold).

It is very likely to depend on jurisdiction, and may well need a court case to clarify.
I guess those installs are the ones the Wordpress vuln scanners are looking for when they spam my server with /wp-admin/ requests.
"Old Internet" doesn't have a very defined meaning, but I think it has more to do with design and functionality than a hard date. While I don't think relevance matters, 4chan is much more relevant than you think. Having a niche is part of the old Internet. Websites used to be niche, but deep, instead of websites like Wikipedia, which are broad and shallow (compare the Castlevania dungeon [0] to the Wikipedia article for Castlevania, for example). Then compare 4chan's limited number of boards with reddit's endless subs. 4chan's design is early web 2.0, doesn't require you create an account, allows (pseudo) anonymous posting, content is mostly unfiltered, unmonetized, free & thought of as ephemeral, etc.

I'll always link this whenever it comes up. Highly recommended if you haven't read it.
Of course that's a legitimate case of longer files or functions, but I found that I was generally able to follow much larger functions, so comfortable with writing larger-than-average code in general.

Also I should note that longer code doesn't mean less abstraction; it rather means that abstraction is done without separate functions and files, and ordering and visual cues can (and probably should heavily) be used instead. Apparently this is not enough for most others though, as I have received multiple complaints in spite of such readability efforts.

I put the start of the mainstreaming of the internet in July 1993, the month a cartoon was published in the New Yorker captioned, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_...

Before then, it was quite unusual to see coverage of the internet by the mainstream press (and what coverage I saw took a theoretical or "far" view, i.e., as part of a discussion of governmental policy). After then, coverage exploded.

This is an American perspective: the timing was probably different in other countries.

>You can complain that you don't liken systemd's design or that it does too much (very overplayed complaint, but ok).

It's not at all orthogonal. Making the "default" way to run > 1 containers together require the init process is fucking stupid.

Similar to how requiring ROOT to run containers was a stupid design decision made by docker.

This decision to make quadlets the "default podman orchestrator" and to double down on it relegates podman from being "a better docker" to just "docker just with different design mistakes".

>That complain is moot, since you'd be running systemd anyway

false. systemd is not the only pid 1 in existence (much as it likes to pretend it is). when you run a container inside a container there also isn't a systemd.

>And it's double moot, because you can run > 1 containers (with podman) without root too.

except there is NO good orchestration system for doing that. podman compose is a steaming pile of shit. quadlets requires systemd which requires root. docker compose requires a root service. you can run podman compose inside a container but not quadlets.

might as well just use docker at this rate.

>That complain is moot

Your comment comprehensively missed my point 3 times. It's triple moot. It would have been better left unmade.

The 8 billion saving that turned out to be a 8 million saving?
That’s a super exciting use case — running millions of test scripts across a multi-host, multi-region setup is no small feat. You're spot on about Testcontainers — it's elegant for one-off, isolated runs (like in CI), but when you're pushing at scale, the overhead of spinning up and tearing down containers for every single test can start to hurt.
In high-throughput environments, most scalable setups I’ve seen shift towards a pre-warmed pool of sandbox containers — essentially keeping a fleet of "hot" containers alive and routing tasks into them via docker exec. You lose a bit of isolation granularity but gain massively in performance.
You could even layer in a custom scheduler (Redis- or NATS-backed maybe?) that tracks container load and availability across hosts. Pair that with a smart TTL+health checker, and you can recycle containers efficiently without zombie buildup.
Also — curious if you've explored running lighter-weight VMs (like Firecracker or Kata Containers) instead of full Docker containers? They can offer tighter isolation with decent spin-up times, and could be a better fit for multi-tenant test runs at this scale.
Would love to nerd out more on this — are you planning to open source anything from your infra? Or even just blog about the journey? I feel like this would resonate with a lot of folks in the testing/devops space.
I fully agree on the environmental part. Shipping all this stuff individually is incredibly wasteful. Even the combined packages from AliExpress someone else mentioned this is the case, since there's a ton of unnecessary packaging wasting space and resources.

On the 'losing side' part I agree a lot less. In the recent past, most of these items would be sold by mega corps, marked up multiple times with most of the profits flowing into shareholder's pockets. Meanwhile, the average consumer is over paying for the exact same 'low quality junk' with branding like Logitech, Dell or Amazon Basics on it. Now we can get the same (or often better) quality straight from the source, often for a fraction of the price. To me, that's a big win.
They have been told by mainstream media that you are supposed to hate it. Thats it. Its totally irrational.
One of the key lessons learned in the past half-century is that lawsuits like that are:

(a) Often won

(b) Pyrrhic victories

Right now, it's the policy of Paramount not to sue over very clear violations of Star Trek copyrights (see: Star Trek Continues), Rowling to not do the same for Harry Potter (see: Methods of Rationality), etc.

A lawsuit like that results in a modest payout and take-down, together with a loss of brand worth many times that.

On the other hand, the derivative works tend to drive brand value, recognition, and sales.

That's why many works have clear guidelines supporting and encouraging derivative works, with specific boundaries to make sure they don't undermine those works.

I don't know The Sword of Shannara, but each time someone says "inspired by Tolkein" or "building on themes from," Tolkein increases in brand value as a classic and then THE classic. There is a legal line as to where inspiration becomes copying, but if we were to assume, arguendo, that it's clearly over that line, it still probably wouldn't make sense to sue. At best, that would have a chilling impact on more works in the "inspired by" category.

Based on my very very limited understanding of how LLMs work, surely they don't "prefer" anything, and just use what they have been trained on?

Presumably there is a lot more public info about, and code in Javascript and Python, hence this "preference"

Maybe the LLM preferring English is because of a similar phenomenon - it has been trained on mostly western, English speaking internet?

I have been to 4chan maybe 4 times in my life. The first was like ok.. Then I visited /b and LOL'd for a couple of hours. Then it just got redundant and depressing. It really is the arsehole of the internet, but some people seem to find it useful.
I am a troll, because I believe that shipping cheap trash from China is harmful for the environment and that the quality is low?

How deluded are you to believe that this is some kind of disingenuous belief that I hold. Do you think that environmentalism in general is also another troll operation, as I am sure that any person who cared a lot about the environment would agree with me, at least in part.
> Just admitting the mistake was a positive step, which means they do care at least a little bit to not repeat it.

Why is this an appropriate conclusion?

Stephen Miller went on TV to say that this man is a terrorist and is in the right place, despite sworn statements from the solicitor general that this was a mistake. I see absolutely no reason to believe that the Trump administration sees any reason to prevent further errors.

> Imagine for a moment that the judicial branch orders the executive branch to get Iran to release some American prisoners.

Hey look, a completely different situation. Here the US sent this person to El Salvador and is paying the Salvadoran government to house people we send there. Not even remotely comparable to the Iranian government capturing somebody.
I surely did a hybrid approach, but for a large swath of it I was pretty purely "vibe coding", where I wasn't looking at the produced code at all.

I initially had Gemini 2.5 build some code and then did a code review of it. I tweaked my design document and then had Claude and ChatGPT take a stab at it and at this point I wasn't looking at the code at all. These implementations had some deadlock or early termination problems so I asked for some different async and threaded implementations, but ultimately they went off into the weeds in ways I couldn't really reason about, so I went back to a straight select/procedural implementation and had it start tracking outstanding blocks, which got something working reliably. Then I asked for fancy progress displays, tried several attempts at that. Then at this point I started cleaning up the code some, had it add type annotations, etc...

Big swath of pure or nearly pure vibe coding in the middle there.
That's my point - if you have a reasonably secure password (let's say 50-100 characters, fully random), it's extremely unlikely that anyone is ever going to even get beyond the basic auth prompt.
> "can't effectively be bruteforced like a user+password."

Only when the password is weak enough to bruteforce swiftly. It will take literally thousands of years to bruteforce strong passwords.

The take on 4chan on here is super intriguing. I always felt that the current social media/doomscroll/memesharing landscape which has become so common worldwide is indiscernable and in some ways worse than 4chan. It feels like 4chan left it's homepage and went worldwide sometime in the early 2010s when iPhone-style phone use became more commonplace.

I remember that 4chan users had more honor than users on the internet today. One example would be 4Chan's "Not your personal army" mentality vs. the widespread doxxing/"call their place of employment!" witch hunts, driven by huge accounts on IG/Tiktok/etc, that hit normal people daily.

The modern social media landscape has become far more hectic, harmful, and downright scary than 4chan. Dodging explicit imagery is harder on Instagram's explore page than on 4chan, and the widespread popularization of OF creators has zero bounds across the socials. DOXXING is no longer frowned upon and now commonplace. And memes have become less unique and funny and more commoditized.

Your question is very general. "A customer support app" can mean many things from a faq to a case management interface.

If you 100% can not tolerate "bad" answers, only use the LLM in the front end to map the user's input onto a set of templated questions with templated answers. In the worst case, the user gets a right answer to the wrong question.
Not sure about the reason for the personal attack, but my comment wasn't a reply to you. Michelin star restaurant was not even your analogy.

I guess you are right, though. AI is useful for some things. At least it reads the prompt before responding.
Funny. The moral compass of most people on the internet tends to be disordered enough to make me think Something Awful must have been truly horrific.

For far too many people "I have a moral compass" seems to mean "I don't even have the self-awareness to realize what I'm doing is evil".
People are reflexive. In a different context, driven by someone else, many of the people currently defending Harvard would instead be pointing out that Harvard and the other elite institutions are part of "the problem". In general this year, it's been interesting to me to see Republicans become protectionists and Democrats become neoliberal free traders, both parties flipping their talking points to either align or disagree with Trump.
Well that's OK then.

Program for young adults with mental illness closes due to funds in limbo
So you were able to find the leak? Because I see reports that it was hacked repeated as fact everywhere on Daily Mail-tier reliable news websites and Reddit posts, but they are all based on “rumors on social media go about that there was a leak” but I've not been able to find the actual leak searching for it. Obviously not many people want to link it but it's also weird that so many people claim to have so easily been able to find it when I cannot.

Finally, I was there and using it when the website went down and this did not resemble an actual hack but technical issues. First there were a couple of hours where the website was up but no posts went through for anyone except occasionally when a new threat was bumped, mirroring the normal pattern of downtime issues that sometimes occur and then it just went down completely. This doesn't really resemble how a hack plays out but looks more like technical issues to me.

Even now, going to the front page, it loads for me, except very slowly and incompletely. This does not resemble a hack but technical issues.
I checked the first two results and not one of them said the man was innocent [1][2]. It's okay if the claim is baseless and there is no citation, but asking me to find a citation for someone else's baseless claim is not really okay.

There are also constant ongoing efforts at improving efficiency, which is why they keep going “ah ha! We found it!” then poor bureaucrats who are trying to do their fucking jobs while these idiots run around messing things up have to explain, “no, you’re seeing an artifact of record-keeping practices that exist because [very good reason], you’re wrong yet again, maybe try asking literally anyone who knows about these data sets”

They also love to throw around the word “fraud” while bringing no charges. Despite the DOJ being in Trump’s control. Same pattern as other lies (“rampant voter fraud! We have proof” ok so when you’re in change you’ll prosecute, right? You should! That’s bad if true! I mean I’ve looked at your proof and it doesn’t appear true, but maybe you have more proof you haven’t shown! “Uhhh… [smoke bomb]”)

Plus, we have the GAO and CBO. Trump won’t want to listen to them because they’ll say “our #1 problem is we keep cutting taxes”, and “there’s not much waste to be eliminated cutting government workers”, because that’s true at this point, but they exist. It’s not like nobody’s been looking at these kinds of things. That’s just bullshit.

4chan is a reflection of the depraved, extreme side of humanity. Twitter has taken on the mantle of 'asshole of the internet', but I think the rotten apples post in both.

4chan is oddly accepting of gay and trans people. I've seen gay and trans porn side by side with bbc and bwc porn posts. Strange to see racist trans porn lovers.

I like 4chan for the minor boards, not /pol/ or /b/. But /boardgames/ and /dyi/ and /international/. The absurd humor, green texts that make absolutely no sense, or ones that lead down a strange and wonderful path.

I like being anonymous on the internet.
