This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these.

Love to see the community coming together to improve things !

there is a page about this on the lemmy docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/05-censorship-resistance.html

this made me realize one of the things I like about the old design is how many posts you can see at a glance.

same, I just checked, I bought the full version in 2016 (for like a dollar ?) and been using it since.

I think its a nice alternative to developers to offer software that is not available on your package manager, but having a distro offer multiple different ways of installing a package is not a good idea, I’m talking about ubuntu of course, as a user I just want to apt-get update/upgrade and be sure my system is up to date, snap undermines that because I’m not sure anymore. also I don’t understand why I need to close the app I’m using to update it with snap, if the app is containerized I should be able to install multiple versions without affecting each other.

yup pretty sure

$ cat /etc/passwd
fox:hunter2:1000:1000::/home/fox:/usr/bin/zsh

😉

you don’t need to be root to read /etc/passwd

love parallel !, for example encoding a bunch wavs to opus:

parallel --eta 'opusenc --bitrate 256 {} {.}.opus' ::: *.wav

However, the two Jumpsec Red Team members found that they could go around the restriction by changing the internal and external recipient ID in the POST request of a message, thus fooling the system into treating an external user as an internal one.

so they only do the check on client side. classic.

love cat -n, when working with csv files I often use a command like this to figure out which column I need:

head -n1 file.csv | sed 's/,/\n/g' | cat -n

Its a way to prioritize which posts you are going to read. if there are only 10 posts you can read all of them, if there are 1000 maybe not, depends on how much time you have, but when people can vote on which posts they find interesting there is a good chance you will find the most voted interesting as well.
