@bkuhn @jxself

How do you watch the new Treks? Last time I tried (oh geez maybe 3 years ago now) I couldn't get Paramount+ to work on GNU/Linux, even with widevine DRM.

@jxself lol @ the implication that ENT is reboot/expansion era.

@evan (I voted "Yes")

Virtually all software should have a "view source" or analogue; there should be a way to ask it to be transparent about what operations it is doing. Not just a middle-ground between basic use and power-users, but a ramp between the two.

It's a shame that this is seldom implemented except in web browsers.

Welp, the final straw to make me block #Reddit in my /etc/hosts

@mattl But what's irritating about it?

@mattl This isn't a "you should give it a chance" or "it's not that bad" post, this is a genuine question: What's the beef with webp?

@mattl eCOS is on too many cable modems for me to vote that nobody uses it.

@mattl Right now I:

- Have known bot-UAs mentioned in robots.txt
- Some nginx magic to 403 everything but /robots.txt for bot UAs seen violating robots.txt
- Use iptables to block IPs of bots that use rotating real-browser user agents to mask themselves (often easy to spot in logs because the version numbers are quite old)
- If they also rotate IPs, use iptables (plus a Perl Net::CIDR::Lite script co consolidate) to block the whole ASN.

Strongly considering deploying Anubis.

@evan (I voted "about monthly")

How broadly or narrowly do you mean "post"? Does it mean to share…
- publicly
- semi-publicly (eg with followers only)
- semi-privately (eg with a group-text)
- privately (eg with an single person in a DM or text message)

I wouldn't think twice if I heard "posted to a groupchat", but would have qualms if I heard "posted to Andrew".

Nonetheless, to me it means (semi)publicly, so that's how I voted. I would change to "about weekly" if we include private sharing.

@libreleah If only GTK+ 2 supported high-DPI :(

@ntnsndr Back in the day (~2010?) there was `gvfs-remove`, but these days it looks like it's spelled `gio trash`.

When I tried to replicate gvfs-remove's behavior w/ a script similar to yours, the biggest thing that jumps out at me is the possibility of accidentally overwriting files in the trashcan when deleting an identically-named file; instead of adding an "(n)" suffix (eg "filename (2).txt"). If you care about not losing things enough to do trash from the CLI, you probably care about this.
