@mint @MK2boogaloo @Moon @Zerglingman @allison @gaybot @meso I don't like that they added the "--random-sort" bit to sort(1); it seemed like that should be a different program. On Plan 9, I put a Fischer-Yates shuffle into an awk script:

{a[NR]=$0}
END {
srand()

for(i=length(a); i>1; i--) {
n = 1+sprintf("%d", rand()*(i-1))
t = a[i]
a[i] = a[n]
a[n] = t
}
for(i in a)
print a[i]
}

Before that, on Linux, I'd do this by exploiting some behavior in mawk/gawk that reorders associative arrays by key; mawk doesn't like this behavior but it duplicated the behavior anyway. gawk requires you to seed the RNG, mawk auto-seeds. It's also less perfect than Fischer-Yates, but it works well enough for "random sort" use if not "really unbiased random-sort for the NSA", but it's much shorter:

BEGIN { srand() }
{ a[rand() $0] = $0 }
END { for(k in a) print(a[k]) }

@mint @FrailLeaf For some reason, people kept tagging lain in the hellthread and eventually lain got annoyed and if there is an MRF that keeps us from getting instance-blocked by the single-user instance operated by the primary author of the software FSE uses, it seems prudent to write it. lain's really cool, but that's personal, that's my opinion; at the level of MRF involvement, people spamming lain seems completely goddamn stupid because lain has been exceedingly patient.

@FrailLeaf I have been tagged in a thing and because of https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fse;a=blob;f=lib/site/mrf/stop_tagging_lain_in_the_hellthread.ex;h=3e5e0b6f1219f2820f925e0f1adbc9e0b6785dd4;hb=HEAD , I do not see it and FSE keeps trying to fetch those posts. From https://comp.lain.la/notice/AdIzvpQVx0nF8mTA24 , it does not look like lain is even participating in that thread and I don't know why lain is tagged.

@FrailLeaf The MRF prevents any post in that thread from federating.

It probably should have been specific to local posts anyway, though, so I have tweaked it.

I like it better as a policy statement.

The leadership is full of psychopaths and not interested in suppressing the herd but utilizing it, specifically to ensure momentum around their own policy. You think someone that is effectively a king can't do this? l-:mao: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session

1. Cultural Revolution

2. Struggle session
  
  Struggle sessions or denunciation rallies were violent public spectacles in Maoist China where people accused of being "class enemies" were publicly humiliated, accused, beaten and tortured by people with whom they were close. Usually conducted at the workplace, classrooms and auditoriums, "students were pitted against their teachers, friends and spouses were pressured to betray one another, [and] children were manipulated into exposing their parents". Staging, scripts and agitators were prearranged by the Maoists to incite crowd support. The aim was to instill a crusading spirit among the crowd to promote the Maoist thought reform. These rallies were most popular in the mass campaigns immediately before and after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and during the Cultural Revolution.The denunciation of prominent class enemies was often conducted in public squares and marked by large crowds of people who surrounded the kneeling victim, raised their fists, and shouted accusations of misdeeds.

> Individual humans make reproductive decisions, not the group.

Historically, no. Until very recently, you had to spend a lot of time making sure the rest of the lady's family was cool with you before you could plausibly get a wedding.

> Everyone votes for who you breed with, like reality TV.

At least nominally, everyone present at your wedding gets a veto.

> CIA? LOL.

This takes a minute. All of the shit I have to say about this is a series of crazy tinfoil conspiracies that are obviously the ramblings of a mad man and my citations are fringe websites like cia.gov and Wikipedia. You could have a look at Project Mockingbird and then list a handful of reasons for the timing of the Family Jewels leak and then explain why Dulles hired Bernays to work at the CIA.

Or you could "lol" at the concept and dismiss it out of hand. On a completely unrelated note, did you know the CIA coined the phrase "conspiracy theory"?

I have something for this but it is long.

> The good farmers tend to be realists who act within reasonable parameters.

Even good farmers cut your balls off so that you taste better, they turn your offspring into veal, and they cut your throat and your friends' throats and shove you all onto a truck to be eaten by people you have never met. I don't view this as an acceptable state of affairs: cattle and sheep were bred for this, I was not. So if it's all the same to you, I don't want to get farmed, and I don't plan to farm anyone else. As long as people can opt-out,

We can agree on this. Nygard out there chugging baby smoothies and the president specifically calling that a conspiracy theory.

@amerika @eidolon This is absurd. Individualistic ideologies believe in people to manage their own affairs; the hubris of micromanaged collectivism has created one burnt souffle after another.

> Individualistic ideologies tend to be apocalyptic because they are narcissistic like serial killers.

The narcissist believes he knows what is best for society.

This is blaming the farmer's individualism for the cattle's herd mentality.

@mint @fba Ha, I'd seen that one but he also now provides a second list that unblocks all the canary domains so that you can just import them both. If someone is carelessly importing all of his CSVs, then they will end up unblocking the canaries.

@anonymous It's probably about 50/50. FSE doesn't talk to Tor, so we can't fetch keys, so incoming activities get rejected (this includes, e.g., follows). I might steal mint's code and get that working, but it's not currently on the list. We don't have signed fetches on, so federation with Akkoma (which enables them by default) is going to be somewhat limited anyway.

On the other hand, we don't block any *incoming* traffic from Tor. (I use Tor to view FSE most of the time.) So you should be able to fetch activities from FSE.

malenfant.net is now safe from a joke instance that existed for less than one month and was gone years before this instance existed.

When Levi was figuring out which domain to get, I suggested lotswife.moe, because she became a pillar of salt. So he gets wagesofsinisdeath.com and it looks like he was correct because years after it gets taken over by domain squatters, the domain alone still terrifies mastodongs.

@fba

You know, on this topic, I thought I'd have a look at https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=wagesofsinisdeath.com and 251 instances block that domain. journa.host (which came into being after wagesofsinisdeath.com ceased existing forever) has been careful to remove the media from wagesofsinisdeath.com.

And then there are some notes, right, and one of them says "unified_tier1_blocklist" and that got me wondering. It's actually worse than that: it's in Oliphant's allegedly curated "Tier 0" list: https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists/tier0.csv . That domain was dead before oliphant.social existed. It's also on the other blocklist, https://seirdy.one/pb/tier0.csv , also "Tier 0". Per https://seirdy.one/posts/2023/05/02/fediverse-blocklists/ :

> I totally get resistance to blindly importing blocklists; I don’t actually feel comfortable going the “import and forget” route myself! The first couple hundred entries of the pleroma.envs.net blocklist started with a few imports, but all domains have since been manually reviewed. For admins who don’t feel comfortable “outsourcing” their moderation to blocklist authors: I generally see pre-made blocklists as a starting point.

"Starting point", my ass. It is obviously a lie that anyone has reviewed this list: not only have they not reviewed, but zero people have verified the list. You see people make weird shit up but in this case, people copy these lists around, caution everyone really strongly to verify the lists before importing them, and nobody does that, no one is verifying anything. Pointing this out is grounds for being included in these instance's blocklists, and that propagates up the chain to these allegedly curated lists that are collections of other instances' lists, and this provides an incentive to not question the lists.

Credit where it's due: at least one blocklist was retracted because the originator recognized this problem: https://joinfediverse.wiki/FediBlock . As for the rest of them, here are some left-wing people that would rather deal with sharecropping on a platform owned by their nemesis Elon Musk than with the lunatics that do this kind of thing.
