  • For me it wasn’t even matter of reddit only being tolerable via third party apps, third party apps were Reddit.

    Reddit released their first app in 2014. My email shows I purchased “Reddit is Fun (Premium)” in 2013, and I know I used other apps before that.

    Reddit is Fun WAS Reddit for me for 10+ years.

    When it went away and I had to change anyway, I jumped to the closest thing. (Eventually landing on Voyager.)

    refused to say that ivermectin is a miracle cure

    What sucks the most is that ivermectin is a miracle cure! It just isn’t helpful again COVID or Hantavirus. The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded (in part) for discovering ivermectin.

    It’s what frustrates me the most about discussion with people like this. They’re willing to take a random drug, a drug that is fully backed by the medical community, but they’re not willing to take the drug actually recommended by the medical community.








  • I’m not a SQL wizard and I’m typing from my phone but couldn’t you just do something like,

    select name from sys.tables where name like 'wp%users'
    

    To get the table of WordPress users, then do whatever bad things you want to it?

    I get that that’s an extra step, and I suppose in the example even though “best practice” is to add random characters, if everyone knows that, then best practice for bad people scripts would probably be to add an extra query.

    But my real point is more about adding obfuscation for your developers and server owners. If you’re making their jobs harder for no benefit, is it a good change?

    I also wonder about adding obfuscation and it causing issues when debugging.

    I think adding obfuscation is fine, but it’s important to be careful when it comes to your developers and debugging.

    Jabba was probably throwing people into the Sarlacc pit weekly. Even when Lando was falling in it had people falling in left and right. Sure the Sarlacc wanted to eat Lando but even easier food was literally falling right into its mouth.

    But after? I don’t think Bib Fortuna was making as many trips to the Sarlacc pit. Poor thing was probably hungry.





  • Mint is based on testing irc.

    I thought so too, and it looks like it used to be, but LMDE is currently based on Debian Stable, specifically LMDE 7 is based on Debian 13 “Trixie”, first released Aug 2025.

    FWIW I’ve been running Debian Testing for a few years now and been plenty happy, might get worth trying that.
