Announcement: SaidIt is a sinking ship

d3rr · 2021-06-19T21:18:12+00:00

Okay if you don't want to talk tech that's fine. If you cared to look deeply you'll see that every single other reddit codebase uses a single SQL database and they aren't scalable whatsoever.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T21:02:53+00:00

What's wrong with the core site? It is optimized to all hell. We had 20k registered users on a single 4 core server.

It is a python 2 app that will "poof" stop working someday, that is bad for sure.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T19:44:14+00:00

m7 never pushed me out, he was never rude or anything like that. I stepped down from my admin duties because I was tired of spending effort and stress on site policy and admin stuff when I don't understand the site rules and where the lines are. I stepped down to being the tech guy only and keeping the lights on.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T19:36:18+00:00

I don't know why you are announcing this. We know the shit is on auto pay and that it could keep running for months or even years. This feels like a double whammy, between the Jason ban and now this. If you are done being admin, feel free to step down and I will take over. I told m7 that I will keep this pile of chaos running. edit: yes I did use these very words myself, but not as an admin announcement to God and the world.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T07:45:03+00:00

It's not my ship to save but it does appear to be on fire

d3rr · 2021-06-19T04:37:29+00:00

That sounds like the issue. Another idea is that with many VPNs you'll end up sharing an ip address with other VPN users too. So if someone else does a bunch of abusive stuff to get the ip banned, then you are effectively banned as well.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T03:52:08+00:00

I think it's just you https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/gab.com.html

Your ISP could be having issues if you don't mess around with VPNs and all of that. You can also try resetting your equipment and flushing all of your DNS caches.

d3rr · 2021-06-19T03:26:08+00:00

I think front line health workers in the US are still only 50% vaccinated. That's the canary in the coal mine if I've ever seen one.

There is no m7 he is deep MIA. I vote for a temporary ban myself.

d3rr · 2021-06-18T20:22:22+00:00

It's just the "private" part of "private message" that concerns me. But anyway thank you for dealing with the drama.

d3rr · 2021-06-18T20:14:25+00:00

I was fully on board until we get to the sharing of PMs. That's a second issue that you've potentially come across. Anyway I'm not here to be a choosy beggar.

d3rr · 2021-06-18T19:38:29+00:00

yeah it's probably misconfigured. i think it's taking everything down. I can't see the config myself tho.

d3rr · 2021-06-18T04:54:48+00:00

Since I'm not a researcher/reporter, I doubt I'll ever feel confident enough to write for it

Sure you are. Every goddamn thing you write is an essay. Not that you should shift your focus or anything, just saying.

Since each month's paper has many stories, I could post one story a day on SaidIt or whatever.

A+++, or just post the 3 most excellent stories

2) I don't want random-anons. Known-anons are welcome. Request, referenced, or invited only (until user-category filters are developed, if ever).

I don't know if this one is do-able. I'll see if Lemmy supports it. Invite or admin created accounts only.

3) No sub chaos. I want community discussion on orderly sub development by committee consensus. The hierarchical Wikipedia categories are the best I've seen to emulate if possible.

I don't know if this one is do-able. I'll see if Lemmy supports it, only admins can create subs.

5 through 10

A perfect example of what I'm not volunteering. These are all hard and require hours of studying the lemmy code and ActivityPub federation* before you can even start.

At the very least I can still get the old "(I Know Why You're) Semper Fi" video I hacked in Flash

Yes, get everything before it's too late! These incompatibility issues will be even harder on Windows 2050 Profession Shillout Edition Pro V2.

d3rr · 2021-06-18T04:32:10+00:00

Yes and our "bro" Drumpf was right up in the mix with them, banning bump stocks and regulating trade like a goddamn democrat. Both sides was my point. The deep state was my point.

Reddit is just kind of a sex toy, but Swartz also planted the seeds of Sci-Hub. For that he may be remembered for all of history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub

d3rr · 2021-06-17T20:04:11+00:00

We're clearly miscommunicating. Spend 5 minutes reading on the freedombox site if you want to know more. There are similar projects too like pirateBox. Have a good one.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T19:43:31+00:00

Sick man you are helping that new start up newspaper? It looks really cool actually.

Obviously a wiki and/or a decentralize forum would be better but that's not happening.

I'll set up your Lemmy for you if you want, but we cannot discuss custom features whatsoever :) I'm just the setup guy then it's hands off for me unless it breaks or something.

Cool, the progress on the animation front sounds exciting.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T19:39:27+00:00

Aaron Swartz built it, but I did reclaim it from those bastards at Reddit. Thanks man.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T19:38:06+00:00

Nope, that's commercial private software. This is commie open source code which means many eyes are on it.

You don't have to buy the damn hardware. This is an easy open source app for non-technical people to do some home serving.

Yeah they're pushing the hardware too hard, but the software might be a perfect fit for someone.

This is why there's so many in the anti-zionist camp. We see this paper trail leading directly to moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. The same family that founded Israel. The same country that played a massive role in 9/11. The same country that cares deeply about reshaping the middle east using US blood.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T17:42:15+00:00

I'm going to speak about the greater context and Agenda 2030.

Fuck yeah man, congrats. That's more than I've ever done. I don't talk about Zionism in public that much myself, but I'll rant and rave about fluoride and glyphosate until the cows come home.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T06:12:48+00:00

Hhahaa I've never heard of "Education & Sharing Day, USA" but it's hilarious that US congress made it official.

"As leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, he took an insular Hasidic group that almost came to an end with the Holocaust, and transformed it into one of the most influential movements in religious world Jewry...".

So I see we've arrived at Chabad again.

d3rr · 2021-06-17T05:36:17+00:00

It's inevitable we're all fucked

d3rr · 2021-06-17T05:32:04+00:00

I googled for sources, and lo and behold it was Chabad https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/960660/jewish/Issurei-Biah-Chapter-Twelve.htm

I expected this to be Talmud, not Torah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishneh_Torah

Maimonides intended to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law, so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed, with a strong and immediate opposition which focused on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud.

So I guess it's a wannabe Torah. It's very disturbing all the same.*

This is straight out of the systemd hater's list of grievances. Multiple code paths to check the uid == spaghetti!

d3rr · 2021-06-16T19:26:14+00:00

It's a good observation but the database ids could have been skipped over for any number of reasons, like invalid submissions, etc.

To prove this you'd have to show that these 140k records were at one time live and public. I think people have been scraping VAERS so this comparison is likely possible.

d3rr · 2021-06-16T19:20:42+00:00

I'm very inclined to agree. I know where these theories come from and none of these people will have a reasonable discussion. It's always extreme and bipolar and no middle ground.

d3rr · 2021-06-16T03:46:54+00:00

Hmm well Herzl being secular and for-profit might explain some of his anti-Jew racist quotes.

What is the major third temple hold up? Is it the dome of the rock that needs to be cleansed? I think the third temple crew is ready and waiting with their perfect red heifer. They say there are no religious road blocks, only political ones.

d3rr · 2021-06-16T03:10:05+00:00

Yes! This is the classic conspiracy shit I've been missing.

d3rr · 2021-06-16T03:03:06+00:00

What about reclaiming their home land, rebuilding the temple and all of that? Israel is the fulfillment of Herzl's Zionism.

d3rr · 2021-06-15T20:59:50+00:00

Okay you're right. But it's already a bad idea to waste your time with shills, so the possibility of fucking an Israeli shill over for an extra 6 cents is just icing on the cake.

Apparently it's about River Phoenix

[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
Look up, what do you see? All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry, some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m, this letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls, all the boys and all the girls
Sweet-toothed, each and every one a little scary
I said your name, I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas, whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
It can take you far, this star thing, I don't get it

[Chorus: Patti Smith and Michael Stipe]
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over, there
It tastes like fear
I'll take you over

[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
Will you live to 83? Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink, here comes the flood, anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink, just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you, I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet, but is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown of sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow would be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again


[Chorus: Patti Smith and Michael Stipe]
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over, there
It tastes like fear, pulls us near
I'll take you over

[Verse 3: Michael Stipe]
Look up, and what do you see?
All of you and all of me, florescent and starry
And some of them, they surprise
I can't look it in the eyes, Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear
I got it

[Chorus: Patti Smith and Michael Stipe]
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over, take you there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over, take you there
It tastes like fear, pulls us near
I'll take you over, take you there
It tastes like fear, pulls us near


[Outro: Patti Smith and Michael Stipe]
Pulls us near
It tastes like fear
Tastes like fear
Pulls us near
Pulls us near
Near, near
Over, over, over, over
And nearer and nearer
Over, over, yeah
Oh, oh
I'll take you over
Yeah
I'll take you over, I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, baby
I'll take you over
There, there
I'll take you there
There, baby

This looks solid but I don't think that saidit or a similar site should be issuing a new currency/asset.
