We do this where I work, and we HEAVILY verify all information that comes in from the unsigned/unauthenticated parts of the code. Not only types checks, but regex checks, and other validations. And if there's something there that shouldn't be there our program will kill itself. We don't even show any error prompts or anything just incase.

At least so far according to Cloudflare bots consist of around 1/4 of all internet traffic. But that could be pretty far off depending on how they get those estimates.

My problem with Lemmy is that I just can't figure out what happens if server A has a "sub-section" called news, and server B also has an instance called news. Do they get merged into one view? Do both servers now have two different "news" sections? I can't seem to get any solid answers on this and that's why I haven't bothered registering or using it yet.

Instead of Discourse maybe NodeBB or Flarum (both are much lighter than Discourse in my experience)

There is modern forum software out there, and I for one am not opposed to going back to that model. (I run a forum, and for awhile was a code contributor for one of the modern forum softwares)

A teenage couple in high school (just barely underage) were both charged with possession and production of CSAM because they sent images between each other. As I understand it from the local papers they ended up getting off fairly easy with something like 100 hours of community service. But only because our local prosecutor understood that they were kids, a couple, and sharing between each other, and almost of age to begin with. If we had a prosecutor less understanding they would have been facing at least 5 years in prison each.

Potential solution? Make the bank board and C-suite pay for all the insurance out of their own compensation packages. And the the bank fails it comes direct out of their pockets.

When the bank fails, they end up living on the streets for their mistakes, and will never (hopefully) be able to do it again to another bank.

It's on ours where I work, which is why we use Gitea to clone the various open source projects we use to our own servers. With binary level deduplication the amount of data stored is actually incredibly small. I think the unduplicated storage is like 50GB, and the deduplicated is like 10GB?

Seems based on some of my research that they've completely exited the free side of the business. All of their plans are now paid and the cheapest plan is $64/year

I don't think you know Microsoft.... Maybe they abandoned the phone products, but when it comes to software products and services they support shit way to long in my opinion.

Hell they still technically support that crap that is VB6.

I've been using Bing almost exclusively for the last year, and work 2 years.

Part of it was out of laziness and not wanting to change the Edge default, and the other part was after a bit I figured out how to get good results.

And the thing that finally killed Google for me was when I realized every result I ever got from them for the last like 3 months that I used it was incredibly shitty SEO optimized sites with zero answers, and half a page full of ad results.

It looks like a lot of the "tuning" was specific to Debian. I did not have any of the issues with things like the touchpad, scaling, etc. with Ubuntu or Pop_OS. And most of the power related tweaks are the same tweaks most people running linux have to do anyway for laptops because the Distro's almost never come configured with the libraries required and setup.

The FDIC generally doesn't do "bids" based on this article https://www.npr.org/2009/03/26/102384657/anatomy-of-a-bank-t... it seems that the FDIC basically just shows up at a competing bank, tells them their buying the failed bank, and that's the end of it.

> Is it not possible that the difference can be made up by wiping out shareholders

In the US it's illegal to do anything that would be "bad" for shareholders. It's quite literally the law that CEOs must return a profit for shareholders (or attempt to). The FDIC however has no such requirements, so while the bank itself can't wipe out shareholders, the FDIC can do it without care.

Publicly traded companies will ALWAYS put shareholders above anyone else. It's the primary reason I'm very much against banks being publicly held. Just as I feel it's immoral for healthcare both insurance, pharma, and hospitals to be publicly traded entities.

SVB itself is a FDIC bank company, SVFG (Silicon Valley Financial Group) is the non-FDIC portion of the company.
