  • But in this case its a bit different, and the sending looked successful.

    Yeah I got that. But couldn’t you (theoretically) add a “resend activities from <timeframe>” option to the API? So you can ask other servers for things you missed. I mean what happened here is one problem where that may be useful, but another would be something like having to restore from day old backups, being a new instance with no history, a network outage, or missing things for whatever other reason.

    Like I said I don’t know the data structures involved, but in my layperson head it sounds possible, although you may have to throttle it to prevent abuse I guess.


  • Hmm, yeah, the post I linked above is still missing some 50 comments, and most of the post and comment upvotes. Kind of interesting though that it acquired 92/148 comments (at time of writing), before you pushed the fix yesterday it had 2 upvotes and 0 comments. Guess the upvotes are just what has been added since then.

    Would be nice if there was a contingency option for server admins for situations like this, no? Something like “Resynch federation events from <timestamp> to <timestamp>”, maybe limitable to certain instances/communities/posts. Not sure if that’s possible with how the federation works currently, but if it is it would be a good feature I guess.

    They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.

    Pretty much this, although it seems freeing the immune system from fighting the worm infection really does help it in fighting the Coronavirus infection: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted (Ctrl+F “The Synthesis”).

    TL;DR: Studies showing a positive effect from Ivermectin on Covid came mostly from areas with high worm infection incidence, areas with low incidence showed no or smaller positive effect.

  • Well that’s probably true. I mean lots of stuff was obviously hacked and deleted, and if you trust the script output in the stream mostly from whitedate. child and deal are later off-shoots it seems, but date had like 6k users, some paying, the main project basically. And it’s still offline. And whitedeal shows a 2019 copyright notice. :D

    There was an interactive map of the user profiles hosted by the hacker at https://okstupid.lol/ but it seems to be down right now. And the journalists who participated in the talk (and pointedly left before the script was run) announced there will be more articles released soon.








  • a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I’ll get there to figure it out eventually)

    It’s a kernel with real-time process scheduling enabled by default.

    In normal kernels a process can theoretically block all other processes from running for up to several seconds, which is obviously bad for time sensitive things like audio recordings or controlling a CNC-machine for example.

    In real-time scheduling all processes are guaranteed time slices in more regular intervals. This is good for time sensitive things like audio recording, but since there is some scheduling overhead it’s bad for single resource intensive processes or process trees like video games.
