I’m a staff software engineer at Sunrun, the USA’s largest residential solar installer.

I mostly work with kotlin, but also java, python, ruby, javascript, typescript. My hobby is picking up new hobbies. Currently bird photography and camping.

  • It blocks access to the link on your site. For example, on programming.dev people have uploaded CSAM. The links are immediately blocked (e.g. no one can get to them except an instance owner actually looking in the pictrs database) and then in the CF dashboard you get a notification with the link to the webpage it occurred on.

    CSAM blocking works based on a known agreed upon, shared hash list which is created by a consortium of large tech giants. If novel CSAM is uploaded to your instance, then yes, it will fail to catch that. db0’s plugin might catch it though. LLM blocking doesn’t have the benefit of a bunch of multi billion dollar companies trying to stop it, in fact they’re doing the exact opposite, so yes LLM blocking sucks.

    For your edit, I would expect you to have an email set up that you would get the notice from. You are not responsible for this kind of stuff until you have been notified, pretty much globally, so pay attention to your email.










  • that is most definitely not the process. You have to explicitly go into Steam’s settings > Compatibility > “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” (what in the world, it’s called Steam Play, not Proton?) and then additionally select which Proton version you want. If you don’t know this, or don’t google it with the right keywords, you won’t understand why literally 90% of your library isn’t available (in my case it was 99% of my library, I think I only had 3 games available on linux natively). Also if you select the wrong Proton version some games won’t run, so you have to know that and switch it for those games only.







  • If you use CloudFlare as your proxy then all your instances traffic gets routed through CF before ever making it to your server. If someone tries to upload CSAM it will immediately be flagged (before ever making it to your server). CloudFlare then quarantines it and automatically files a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. There’s more to the prices, but the point is that putting it in the lemmy software is not a good solution, especially when industry standard proven solutions already exist. You don’t have to use CF. You can also use solutions from Google, FB, Microsoft, Thorn, etc.
