Does it store uploaded files in plain text on the file system?

Can’t really tell if that’s the case or not. It looks like the base files you upload are stored on the filesystem as normal, and the “blocks” (metadata) is what’s stored in the DB?

Great post. Just a heads up, I feel like the “loading” screen with it’s fade in and out animations and all actually make your website feel slower than it needs to.

I’ve had Milk that lasts a week longer than the expiration date, and I’ve had meat spoil a week before its use-or-freeze-by date

I once contacted Verizon L1 support for a network outage, and they use your classic outsourced call center in Singapore, can’t actually do much of anything to help you style support and he just kept telling me how crazy it was that I wasn’t yelling at him, and lowered the price of my service for the next 3 years lol.

Depending on your mobile OS you can set a password to access certain apps in addition to unlocking your device. In the US, you cannot be compelled to give someone your password, so as long as biometrics aren’t the only thing securing it you’re fine.

Additionally to that, if you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime necessitating your phone be broken into, your server of ill-repute is most likely the least of your worries.

Oh you’re outside the U.S. yeah that’s a pickle. Microcenter is a brick and mortar store here so I’d definitely recommend checking for your local equivalent.

I needed up buying these $420 20TB Ironwolf Pro drives from Microcenter, so see if you can order online from there.

Yeah but that’s when the options were starving or revolting. Today there’s a third option, keep working.

Hard to revolt when you’re starving. So people work, and they eat.

Yeah you’re right they should all starve to death instead

Talarico resonates with the deeply Christian left

Half of the worlds workplaces are forcing employees to use AI and show proof it was used.

I had two 20TB drives in my cart three months ago for $350 each. Today they’re $420

Correct. My database of my neighbors faces and biometric data are MINE. I am its rightful guardian

I think the metaphors refer to different aspects of the project. The gardening refers to a more deliberate, small scale, cultivated experience tailored to your community, which is opposed to commercial factory farms that produce a monoculture on a massive scale for profit.

The permanence refers to the fact that you own and control the data, so you are in control of its lifecycle, not a third party that could kill it at their discretion.

Yes.

It has unfortunately, a lot to do with Discord. I am a members of a dozen or so Discord servers, none of which are used for live chat, audio, screen sharing, etc. This software would be a 1:1 replacement for all of those servers.

You should be correct in saying that this software is not a replacement for Discord, but it is, just not in every single instance.

From what I can tell the author uses AI assistance in creating API endpoints and some front end styling, based on some clause code agent files in the repo. Whether that is for prototyping client changes after making backend changes, or thats what winds up in the official client, I cannot say. It’s a good thought though as it’s not really mentioned on the main site.

From reading his blog he seems to be not be yet another AI bro and I sort of agree with his position on the ultimate usefulness of AI. There is little to no AI generation implemented in the app, it seems mostly designed as a search function and is optional.

Stoat is the epitome of grief lol
