The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content, was supposed to last for 48 hours.

Not just charge fees… Exorbitant fees. Outrageous fees.

If Huffman wanted to target these much higher costs to LLMs, they could have instituted an approval process for 3PAs which got charged sane API fees while they charge much more for LLMs. I’m no dev but I think they could tell the difference between the two by just analyzing the API traffic.

But they aren’t doing that. Maybe LLMs were the primary target but they sure aren’t even trying to keep 3PAs around.

This is the correct answer.

I run several containers that offer up http/s and they obviously can’t all use 80/443. Just adjust the left side of that port setting and you’re good.

That plus a reverse proxy for offering these services up over the public internet, if you choose to do so, is a killer pair.

What was Twitter doing that a service like Pushover couldn’t do for them? Same for the city/municipality who stopped sending out their transit updates via Twitter.

Sounds to me like they believe they have far more control over their life than they actually do.

Ah, sort of a “yes, and” attitude. For something so important, I can’t blame them. Texts, calls, emails, social, push alerts - do it all.

Restic is awesome and has been rock solid for me for a few years now. Good choice.

Huehuehue

God dammit.

Meta started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada this month in response to a new law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles.

Look, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy but you have to admit, Canada doesn’t have much to bitch about. They did this to themselves.

Facebook doesn’t want to pay for news articles so they decided not to have news at all. ¯\(ツ)/¯
