  • This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.











  • I’m thinking of the target user for this: For us here it’s a really unfunny joke. For the people wanting to do “non-kosher” stuff like watching streaming for other countries or even outright pirating i don’t think Google’s gonna have their back. People trying to hide their identity while doing compromising stuff (like anything sexual or identity related, not illegal but not something they want in public) hopefully know not to trust Google on this. And corporate users already have their own corporate VPNs, don’t think they’re aiming for those (yet).

    Who the fuck is left as potential user? My only conclusion is the terminally gullible. I see no other option. And since of course there’s a sucker born every minute it’ll have millions of users…







  • Nothing specific, but Postgres date management is really, really useful, i can do a query on a date, parts of a date, timestamps, compare dates and times, intervals, all sorts of powerful operations. SQLite seems to have none of that, the date seems like a courtesy item added later as an afterthought because somebody asked or something, it has absolutely none of that, and when i have to do things with it it’s painful, relying on doing operations on the Unix epoch of dates for most stuff because the dates themselves are not really usable. Was hoping somebody else had done something to improve on this but doesn’t look like it.
