yup, very often the investment is in continued development and marketing

critical mass is an asset

they are toast, forcing these open will not save them long term. the fact that they had to go here shows how effective this has really been.

no one expect them to close doors tomorrow, and I still think they IPO, lots of dumpster fires IPO. Will still be a dumpster fire and at some point it will be “huh, you still go to that trash site”?

Its happened to ever corp social network.

this is the way its supposed to work, reddit is a bunch of fragmented communities too, the only thing you share is a domain.

yeah, the idea of making it transformers all the way down was key, each node is a complete Turing machine.

if jeroba does not do it then its up to the instance mods and admins to set it. even then i think there is an issue since in the web client i see undefined and the selected community langage

i think it may be a bug.

I’m just repeating what server ops and users are telling me who have been here longer. I’m not going to wade into old battles,

you aren’t supposed to be posting messages as undefined, i dont know why the UI even makes that an option.

before the whole “everything is free on the internet” you had to run your own server, know someone or pay a huge bill for special network services.

it was VC money being thrown at people for 20+ years trying to make them think the place was just “supposed” to be free and funded entirely by spam. It does not work, this is not PBS this is communication, and each user has to make a certain amount of input to keep it operational.

What you are seeing is the internet returned to its intended designs and interactions. We aren’t supposed to be tied to providers, only protocols.

Snaky lanugage in that article

At this point, some of our more security-minded readers might need to have a lie down because, yes, that language does essentially mean there would be no proper security controls preventing someone from remotely connecting into a car.

this is already true, they just pretend its not.

took the day off posting on lemmy

I can certainly use them as a pass through for DNS, hows the latency?

Quad9 is interesting def going to leverage it, still lacks edge delivery, which is critical for responsiveness. I’m keeping an eye on https://runonflux.io/ for edge.

What specifically about CF is the problem?

You are only the 2nd to seem to have an issue, Ive heard hate before but no one is ever specific.

Is it just a “feeling”?

I’ve always followed TechDirt in that space personally. I don’t always agree with Mike and crew but its rarely the kind of problematic junk you see on most sites.

thank you, this has been my experience as well, I have found them to have a solid system but its not for people use to CPanel or Wordpress.

I have been well impressed, time to dive in some.

the WARP proxy is the renamed ARGO proxy from thier Enterprise product. You can find info in thier docs. Its both thier DNS and the download page for the proxy software, scroll down.

I’ve been using it for small apps like this and served a minor data-api through it a couple years back, I found it mostly smooth and easy, I dont usually need more composition and if I do Ill use AWS or Azure. I found it to give a lot for your dollar if you are familiar with working things in cloud deploys to be cost effective.

I’m considering expanding into the zero trust area and setting up some tunnels and support infra for my company.

I’m concerned mainly with any pricing gotchas but If anyone has terrible horror stories of bad service, lost data or dodgy mgmt I am all ears.

what do you like, Im the type to grab the first thing that works and moving on. I dont usually find out “what bad” until i hit it.

My instance has the communities ready to go and Im happy to host many more AI and tech driven topics in general, I have a fair amount of capacity and will be focusing on SFW level moderation so people can use it for work/school without worry.

Would love input!

went and fired a general dev community up.

I’m working on it personally, right now I have a group doing pentesting on chats, I have a structured workflow application Ill be giving them soon to see if they can crack an integration point (DB, api, whatever they can get digital hands on).

So far, with the changes OAI made about a month ago now, they can get it to do things it shouldn’t but they can’t command it like a puppy if the system command is well written.

there are also techniques that im not sure others have considered yet. for example the conversation between the LLM and the user is not exclusive, as the provider you are the arbitrator of those data feeds. You can inspect any packet, and importantly, alter them to your will. This is pretty normal operation for most service providers and is not very different than some early RDBMS protection layers.
