It’s Glasgow. You get hit by a car if you don’t put a traffic cone on your head.

Yep. It sucks, and it’s just another BS layer on the onion to punch through.

LOL I actually have experience using this to write integration tests.

The worst I had was a credential-stuffer bot that used a set of leaked credentials to get on my mail server and send spam. I changed the password within 5 minutes and it stopped. That was the end of it.

Once I had someone deface a website because wordpress wasn’t patched. I just restored the site from backup and moved on with life.

I would think that most of the time, you just join a botnet.

BUT someone getting into your email can let them do password resets to all your accounts. Then again, I self-host my email because all mail providers are reading your email by default. I’d still rather self-host it.

You can still just open it to the internet. Just do it on IPv6 instead. You won’t find it by scanning IP ranges like they do on IPv4. You’ll want to set up DNS for it though. Also get a free TLS cert from LetsEncrypt. It’s a bit of work initially.

I saw the JXL article recently. It’s good progress. Didn’t a major browser remove JXL support after it was added?

I’m on Ubuntu gnome. I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn’t support any modern formats.

Strangely enough, the AVIF is displaying now.

Ubuntu server.

I found a dude maintaining a deb repo. I might give that a shot.

It’s kinda nuts that people have got it working and fully automates the packaging, but immich haven’t taken it on.

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly 😆

I’ve really wanted to ditch JPEG. It’s a 34 year old format.

The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don’t work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format comes close to this.

I may even move away from Nextcloud over it. I didn’t want to deploy docker just for immich (I love LAMP, btw). However Nextcloud is SO MUCH maintenance compared to the 50 other services running on my server.

You don’t need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.

Of course, I have no idea if immich can do this. It would be nice though.

It needs to escalate until it lands with someone who isn’t from LDS.

I’m kinda worried that this whole state’s legal system is LDS all the way to the top.

This is the same reason the bartender won’t do shots with you.

I have an A1 mini. I had no idea it was being pushed by influencers.

I genuinely thought it was the “Brother laser” of 3D printing.

My fave science museum is the DaVinci Museum in Milano. It not as kiddie as the others, and my teenage kids actually enjoyed it as much as I did.

Maybe it’s halfway between an art museum and a science museum because DaVinci was kinda split that way too.

Defenestration utilities are essential.

I used to get my dev documentation on wallets full of compact discs that arrived in the mail.

It’s literally called “IPv6 privacy extension”. It’s what it does.

Unless you’re in the middle and fowarding the packets, you won’t stumble across a connectable IPv6 endpoint.

The smallest possible subnet has 18.4 quintillion addresses.

You can’t scan it before encountering the heat death of the universe.

Outgoing connections are made on a different address that does not accept incoming connections. You never disclose your real IP when browsing.

So, no. It can’t be done.

They’re portscanning bots.

I made SSH IPv6-only and it stopped. You can’t scan IPv6 space for open ports.
