Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.

This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)
All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models
Yeah I think you got the numbers crossed there :D
I think a lot of people start up a server because at the time it fits with what they want to do. Once you realize this is not a job (correct description) you wanted to take on it becomes much harder to motivate it.
As soon as you run a server for others outside of the immediate friends/family circle it can be really difficult to deal with the expectations of uptime and service. Also, some don’t want to ask for help but also take on all the moderation themselves too.
@seb@ioc.exchange publishes the costs for ioc.exchange:
Servers are hosted at Linode and hosting costs are around $300/month. Media files are hosted in AWS S3 and the costs are around $50/month. So in total our running costs are about $350/month.
Unfortunately the donations still don’t cover it.
This is your regular reminder that our hosting costs are roughly $350 per month. In the last 30 days you all have contributed $216. Thank you very much for everyone who has contributed - You are awesome!

Agree. I’m an absolutely awesome software dev myself - and I know C by heart (being my favorite language after assembler). However, with age comes humility and the ability to recognize that I will write buggy code every now and then.
Better the language saves me when I can’t, in security critical situations.
Yeah, let’s see what Bagder has to say about this:
C is unsafe and always will be
The C programming language is not memory-safe. Among the 150 reported curl CVEs, we have determined that 61 of them are “C mistakes”. Problems that most likely would not have happened had we used a memory-safe language. 40.6% of the vulnerabilities in curl reported so far could have been avoided by using another language.
Rust is virtually the only memory-safe language that is starting to become viable.

Citing scientific research is. Now, please post your gut feeling in response.
Isn’t that exactly the strawman the maintainer got tired of?
Do you believe C isn’t crap when it comes to security? Please explain why and I’ll happily debate you.
/fw hacker, reverse engineer
C is crap for anything where security matters. I’ll happily take that debate with anyone who thinks differently.
Well. Aren’t those two exactly what open source licensing is about?
Either you follow the license, or you are in violation of copyright.
Absolutely awesome tower defense games. We played it over and over for a very long time.
Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your “maybe in the future…” is already the same as how it works now. No difference.
This is how the protocol works.
You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed).
Your server’s local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server.
Your server’s global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows.
Note how #3 isn’t actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you’re the only users.
Even if you federate with Threads, there’s simply no way for them to “inject ads” into any of these feeds.
You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow. My server’s global feed only includes posts from accounts people on my server follow.
Just claiming “it will” is not a counter argument. That’s not how the protocol works.
I follow many Threads accounts.
/literally one more than no one
No, not bold. You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow.
Creating ads as if they are from a person would get Threads instabanned in the EU.
Well I mean murdering someone breaks the very definition of libertarianism so you can be very sure they’re just using that moniker because it fits whatever they’re really trying to accomplish.

But you’re absolutely right that a lot of people who are today clearly cheering for fascists used to call themselves libertarians.
