LOL, at a quick glance one might even be able abuse a scheduled job on free-tier GitHub runner for the data update and host it statically on GitHub pages.

%20
got converted into+
which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…
Check this comment out where I used every possible value from
%00
to%FF
in URLs. The second half (above%80
) gets wild
Elvith Ma'for@feddit.orgto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•feedback on my next steps for self hostingEnglish6·23 days ago2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.
Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

Say, I’m offering you a cloud drive and tell you “your data is end to end encrypted”. You sync data from your PC to my server and from my server to your mobile phone. Would that mean
- That everything between your devices is encrypted (=I can’t see what you’re saving, neither can “the state”, hackers,…)or
- That your data is encrypted in transit, but is saved unencrypted on my server (which means everyone with access to my server can see your data) or
- It’s encrypted in transit and also on my server, but the keys are also ony server, so that everyone with access to my server can in theory decrypt everything and access everything?
1 is what you want, 2 and 3 are often what you get…

Elvith Ma'for@feddit.orgto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Submitting an App for iOS approvalEnglish61·1 month agoOracle Cloud offers 4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM and 200GB storage in their free tier (IIRC you can even divide that into 4 separate VMs). Very useful for cheap testing, if your code/server supports ARM.
Even then, a small underpowered x64 VM for testing purposes is often free on all hyperscalers. Not the fastest server, but depending on the use case?

Is there some technical limitation to their system??1·1 month agoBetter yet of you include users - there are so many lookalike characters (and the additionally all those diacritics to make more lookalikes) that look the same, so that a human most certainly can’t/won’t tell them apart, but that are completely different codepoints.

puts on tin hat have you looked around lately? Being able to directly access brains and probably inject God knows what signals to maybe be able to alter behavior of people and/or literally brainwash them is a sure way to get funding in late stage capitalism. [They] just want to be on the “correct side” of this. [They] just want control!
I think he’s searching for sarcasm, no?
