Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).
I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).
It was originally released in 480, so those DVD rips are probably the “best” quality-wise (unless they did some work on it before releasing for streaming).
If that’s the case it’s probably easier to rent the discs and rip them. Obviously this is a piracy community but hey, technically it’s still piracy if you’re copying rented discs am I right?
I’m usually using it not to search the codebase but to search for something specific with a file.
non-standard ports
😱
I always found the code search more distracting than helpful. Just let me use the browser native Command + F ffs.
Here’s what I do about it:
Plain HTTP means anyone between you and the server can see those credentials and gain access.
It it using HTTP Basic Auth by chance? It would be so easy to put nginx (or some other reverse proxy with TLS) in front and just pass the authentication headers.
Especially with music, if any of this is plain HTTP (or any other plaintext, non-encrypted protocol) and you live in a lawsuit happy jurisdiction you might end up with piracy letters in the mail.
It sounds like you went to Little Caesar’s.
What is this, 1860? I spent my entire childhood barely touching spicy food, like hell I’d want to go back to that miserable life.
I started learning HTML at the age of 10 using FrontPage and Word. There were entire utilities dedicated to stripping out Word’s atrocious HTML at the time.
I’ve always wished Markdown was better supported in email. I work with external companies’ APIs a lot where email is the medium, and typically I use a Windows monospace font for code snippets (I’m on macOS but there are a handful of monospaced fonts that work on both).
It’s very clunky, and I wish the backtick notation would work out of the box. Whoever decided HTML in email was the way to go should be shot.

I can’t tell if the author is being repetitive to make the article longer or if it was written by ChatGPT.
IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.
Amen
At a high level it involves a terrible custom parser written in Ruby for several formats of DNS blocklists. It finds the proper domain then outputs a large configuration file for Unbound.
I’ve attempted to Dockerize it but honestly, I think it would be better to use a superior parser written in another language that can be statically compiled.
I was using Fly.io to host it in various regions using an Anycast IP, but since I’ve moved onto using VPN for everything I’ve moved it to a few hosts acting as Tailscale exit nodes. Those exit nodes provide the blocking DNS service along with rewriting incoming Tailscale client traffic to route out of another network interface assigned to a VPN provider.
Had I unlimited free time I’d rewrite the parser in Crystal, but part of me thinks there’s got to be something already written by someone in Go.
It’s a common solution but I do something more involved and manual, but it’s the same concept.
Related: I’m a big fan of Beeper, and they were recently acquired by Wordpress too.
I’m almost at the point where I want to create a virtual interface that just has rules that say “if going to
192.168.143.1
use/dev/tailscale0
” and then have a default route to/dev/wg0
.I’m not a professional but my current Tailscale + VPN setup has been extremely nice for the past year.
