arpa··on A simple web server written in Awk
a small nitpick - it uses inetd, which actually handles the network stuff allowing you to work on stdin/stdout. At least that's what i remember from 2003(?) when i wrote an identd for conntracked connections in bash.

arpa··on How to lose weight in 4 easy steps (2015)
it does not get better. I've seen enough to tell you that. It's the same stories on repeat, remixed, reheated and served on a different plate. You have the same three part course over and over and over and over again on the lazy susan of samsara. Fuck that! Patience and waiting for the good times is a young mans' game. When you're older, you know that the same way your joints are shittier now and they're never getting better and you need to take ibuprofen more and more, the same is happening with your life. There's no point in lying to yourself that you're going be happy in a year or two or ten, you just need to keep going and keeping patient and waiting and then it never happens and you die alone having shat yourself. Fuck that. Fuck that. Fuck that. This is life. This is suffering. And this is fine. And the sooner we all lose this fucking delusion of hope, the sooner we all become enlightened and the sooner we can actually nonviolently cure this disease that's eating the planet.

Wow what a prime example of shit content.

"Why do people pick their noses? Who knows, but I find it disgusting. Here are a few facts showing that excessive/obsessive behaviour involving your body can cause trouble."

We live in primarily free societies where individual has the right to decide upon their actions. Telling people that there is only one "correct" way of doing things is obnoxious and toxic and reflects upon your inability to see your opinion for what it is, an opinion.

My opinion is that "screw crawlers and scrapers" is a valid opinion. If i'm hosting a playground, it's my playground and my rules. If you want to play elsewhere, please do. If you want to preserve data, please do, but not at my expense. Disagree with that? feel free to, but don't think that you are somehow in the right, because if you go with this shit to court, you will be laughed out of the door.

It seems like these kind of forums are not exactly your area of interest, if they're community focused. Information gets snuffed out all the time, with every death of a person we lose large piece of information, but hoarding, and especially expecting others to hoard or assist hoarding is not the correct approach to what is essentially a _you_ problem, so grab that terabyte disk and make a mirror yourself if you are so inclined. Nobody is or should be required to let corpo behemoths in for your convenience and to comply with your questionable opinions.

It's so good that we've got people like you to tell parents how they should live, what they should work for, and, most importantly, how to raise their children. But please lead by example.

arpa··on The IAB loves tracking users but hates users tracking them
nobody cares, email, along the majority of the internet as "computers talking protocols", is dead. The absolute majority of email is handled by gmail or microsoft, accounting for >80% of MX servers in the wild by the data i had five years back. I'd imagine the share of the duopoly is even larger today, considering how difficult it is to get into inbox these days.
