I use nfs as host too. Didn't know they did registrar. Thanks.

Ya every time I installed a slightly involved CMS it was a broken headache for some technical reason, so I gave that up. Made my own superuninvolved CMS and that works fine.

Assuming that nobody is gonna exploit it for marketing or other nefarious ends. A society that constantly videos everything would be kindof great. Everything documented. Everything searchable. Crime might become impossible. Like, no more murder or illegal dumping.

If I was gonna tape wood I'd use cloth strips and silicone caulk. Make my own tape that way.

AI makes something that was hidden, visible.

It's a thing inherent to thinking, language, machines and computers.

The thing is, it looks like life but it really isn't.

That fact is being rubbed in our face now. Treat it like life and it will make you sick, sooner or later.

Sooner now, because of AI. So thank AI for making the badness more immediately visible before it can do more damage. So you spit it out immediately instead of swallowing it for years.

My first shipped code was an art thing. C64 Basic. Poke random characters to random locations on the screen. Random colors, screen and border too. On infinite goto loop. Radio Shack (IIRC) in the local mall used it on all their C64s.

subduction zone. a million years buried a mile underground, pulverized by lava and rocks, will erase literally any crime.

Attention is the axis of reality. Focus on a thing and it gets realer. Ignore a thing and it fades away.

New comment by analog8374 in "Measure internet censorship"

analog8374 — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 23:06:48 +0000

to hear it from the users, ya, it's all about censoring the other team. so that's why censorship is good.

to hear it from the mods, it's about being responsible for what's said to the admins above. so that's why they need to have censorship power.

They should be paying them to meditate. That would be the more healthful and revolutionary course.

Regular daily intellectual concentration is much the same be it game, book or reddit. And it makes you crazy. You withdraw from reality.

I want an unmoderated space. Or rather, I want the tools of moderation to be in the hands of the users instead of a central authority.

Giving an anonymous rando the power to censor my conversation is abhorrent. And it's absurd that most people are ok with that.

"Dictatorship" is the standard forum design. Reddit, HN, X, Lemmy... All of them. And censorship is common. We literally prefer it that way. I think it's to create a solid blame trail. I think that's a necessary thing.
