Whis was built on Vercel and its shitting the bed right now
sammy2255··on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly
Why? It's not true at all and it's quite insulting actually
sammy2255··on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly
because I had hundreds of chats and image creations that I can no longer see. Can't even log in. My account was banned for "CSAM" even though I did no such thing, that's pretty insulting. Support doesn't reply, it's been over 4 months

Funny because ChatGPT made me want to kill myself after they banned my account

What is NetBSD?
sammy2255··on Unlocking free WiFi on British Airways
That's really cool I never thought about having your own host and then faking the SNI.

I find it pathetic that vendors and ISPs are snooping SNI headers to block things, looking at you, UK.

Also, I wonder what will happen if those instant messaging apps move to Encrypted SNI (ECH), will they just not work, or is there fallback?

Can't resolve any records for dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

However, if you desperately need to access it you can force resolve it to 3.218.182.212. Seems to work for me. DNS through HN

curl -v --resolve "dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443:3.218.182.212" https://dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/

There's no concept of social security number in Australia
sammy2255··on Dark patterns: Buying a Bahncard at Deutsche Bahn
I recall I was once on a Deutsche Bahn train, it was delayed more than an hour (not that I cared I wasn't in a rush). One worker came around handing out envelopes, since everyone was entitled to a partial refund, I had to sign it, and then mail it back to them? What the fuck? Not even Hitler would've allowed this
sammy2255··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
How do you "pull out" of the UK if you are not a UK company, you are a US company, hosted in the US, and proxied by Fastly. There's nothing to do? You do not need to abide by UK laws, even if your website is accessible from there.

sammy2255··on Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 Incident on July 14, 2025
1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 are served by the same service. It's not advertised as a redundant fully separate backup or anything like that...

Depends who you trust more with your DNS traffic. I know who I trust more.

sammy2255··on About availability of TikTok and ByteDance Ltd. apps in the United States
Sounds like Tiktok has actually banned US users then, as well as US banning Tiktok (being removed from the App store)
sammy2255··on Israel, Hamas reach ceasefire deal to end 15 months of war in Gaza
How long before Hamas start shooting rockets indiscriminately into Israel again
sammy2255··on Carlsen quits World Rapid and Blitz championship after dress code disagreement
Disagree. FIDE's dress code has double standards, there was a dude in chinos made to look like jeans and they were allowed. To me it seems like a very antiquated rule that needs to be reworked/abolished to keep up with the times.
sammy2255··on Four limitations of Rust's borrow checker
Disagree. Regardless of what Brave is doing you shouldn’t block via User Agent like this.
sammy2255··on Using Cloudflare on your website could be blocking RSS users
Not really. You wouldn’t complain to a fence company for blocking a path if there were hired to do exactly that
sammy2255··on Using Cloudflare on your website could be blocking RSS users
Unfortunately its not really Cloudflare but webadmins who have configured it to block everything thats not a browser, whether unknowingly or not
