Yeah it’s super weird, if you go to a specific forum for help, like cachyos or bazzite, the community is bearable, and sometimes very helpful without being rude. But if you go to a general forum and state you’re having any issues with Linux you’ll be downvoted to hell and told Linux is still better than windows.
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.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux is now 34 years old. Happy Birthday!
2·7 months agoYeah defining an announcement of something as its birthday is weird. I’m also biased on this, cause it came out on my birthday.
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.
You can set up Cloudflare as your CDN and turn on CSAM detection. It will automatically block links to known CSAM from the managed global CSAM hash lists.
If you want something in addition to that, you can use db0’s plugin that adds in a similar capability.

32·11 months agoI see, you’re talking about manual reporting (as in you filed a report directly on CF’s website) rather than CF’s CSAM scanning. This is the same as reporting CSAM to any US service provider.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Decentralised social media offers an alternative to big tech platforms like X and Meta. How does it work? PodcastEnglish
31·1 year agoas an instance admin I will let you know that lemmy (the software) runs very very poorly.
anyone that wants to use their computer for basic things like netflix or watching any content at all will notice the difference. They won’t be able to tell you it’s HDR, but they will think “why does this look worse than it did on windows”?
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.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Nonstick Cookware Industry Furious at Suggestion They Should Stop Causing CancerEnglish
01·1 year agobuying a pan increases demand for that item, which then gets built in those factories that then pollute the water you drink and the air you breathe. So yeah, they’re directly correlated.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Nonstick Cookware Industry Furious at Suggestion They Should Stop Causing CancerEnglish
01·1 year agorecent studies have stated that the pans offgas from manufacturing for weeks after you’ve bought them, no heating needed, so no, that’s not correct. and it was known that they offgas at only 325ºF years ago. https://www.ewg.org/research/canaries-kitchen
so no, teflon pans are bad no matter how you use them, they’re bad for the environment, they’re bad for your health, they’re bad for animals, they’re bad for babies that haven’t been born yet.

Chat@beehaw.org•A High Priority for Moving Away from LemmyEnglish
0·2 years agoIf 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.

Chat@beehaw.org•A High Priority for Moving Away from LemmyEnglish
0·2 years agoNot sure what you mean. You do not need to be a developer to set up CloudFlare’s CSAM detection. You simply have email the NCMEC, get an account, then check a box in CF, input some information about your NCMEC account, and then you’re good to go.






I’ve only partially read over you wrote and am heading into the mountains on vacation, but I will try to read over what you’ve written here sometime this weekend.
