Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

What makes this even more extra, if you inspect their ssl certificate trust chain, they have a ridiculous 27 long chain with the common name of each cert being one of these lyrics. openssl s_client -connect signed.bad.horse:443 -servername signed.bad.horse

Its from Dr horribles sing-a-long blog FYI

That takes some serious commitment.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

yeah i just name my computers after fictional supercomputers, like Adams' and Pratchett's. if they get a significant rebuild, i name them something related to the ship of theseus and get to reuse their old names in the future because i'm not that clever.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am also not clever, so I stick with names like "laptop1"

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

i cannot remember (and I'm not going to look) if I'm typing this from HEX or GLOOPER but it's one of those

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I hope this is real.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

It is, try it for yourself

Windows: tracert -h 100 bad.horse Linux: traceroute bad.horse -m 64 --resolve-hostnames

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

traceroute bad.horse -m 64

Died after "a.murder.would.be.nice.of.course (162.252.205.142)", which is 34 hops from here.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think you've got the idea by that point tbh

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

But I still appreciate the work that went into that job. I've seen precursors to this 30 years ago, but nothing as refined as this. Hats off to the people who did this.

[–] Adincar@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ok, I thought I'd test it for windows for anyone interested.

I had to change the max hops as 30 wasn't enough. Use the command below.

tracert -h 100 bad.horse

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Thanks, I added it to my post

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As opposed to real Thomas Jefferson who was plenty evil on his own?

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No argument here. Have you seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's been years. If I remember correctly he was more of a goober than a bad guy.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. He's trying to join the Evil League of Evil, led by Bad Horse. Fake Thomas Jefferson is in the league. We only see him briefly at the end and he's never directly mentioned. Same for most of the other league members.

[–] bbb@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Isn't that like $900 worth of IPv4 addresses?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's owned by some hosting provider called sandwich...

I thought it would be some university or something. In the past they just used to assign Class A and Class B blocks. You know, it's not like we'll run out of IPv4. The 2 universities I've been to still give every single device its own public IPv4 because they have so many they don't have to care about NAT.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My uni has at least 3 /16 blocks, which is about 200k IPv4s.
This means my Uni has more IPv4s than almost half of all UN recognized nations on earth.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Universities were the first organizations to be allocated those IP blocks. I'm sure there are a few holding on to some /8 networks and either they'll never give them up (much like their endowment funds) or they will sell them off once they realize how valuable they can be.

[–] tux7350@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Kind of a weird thought, but wouldnt a uni benefit from holding so many IP forcing people to use NAT. Then the offer classes and provide degrees in networking to deal with NAT......

excuse me, ill put my tin foil hat down XD

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

The tiny little technical college I attended that's almost entirely ag programs had something like 30 IPv4 IPs assigned to the IT program and I don't want to know how many assigned to the IT department.

Literally every single student got an IPv4 address for the second year to play with in the lab. It was great but also holy crap we need to find an appropriate way to repurpose a portion of college IP blocks

[–] Zuriz@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago

[–] oddlyqueer@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

finally a use for TracerT besides seeing which IPs are connected to google (and seeing whether their connection speed is good or sucks ass)

[–] OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's a deep cut reference. 👏

[–] oddlyqueer@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Haven't thought about it in years but seeing the tracert command snapped me right back to it lol.

It's a classic ❤️

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

I've never seen this video 'til now! That kid's confidence level was way off the charts.

[–] oddlyqueer@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

So is someone paying for all these domains every year for this joke or what?

[–] mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 days ago

Nah it's using reverse dns records, so the dns is free.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't think o_o is a valid domain, lol

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Look all I know about the internet is that it's a series of tubes.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago

It's only invalid of you don't let it be valid!

[–] r4venw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is this the evil "my lovely horse"?

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Given the person who wrote Father Ted, and probably My Lovely Horse, is a massive screaming bigot, I'd say this is the good My Lovely Horse.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

oh wow

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Linehan

Graham George Linehan (/ˈlɪnəhæn/; born May 1968)[1][2] is an Irish comedy writer and anti-transgender activist. He created or co-created the sitcoms Father Ted (1995–1998), Black Books (2000–2004), The IT Crowd (2006–2013), and Count Arthur Strong (2013–2017), and has contributed to other comedy shows, including The Fast Show, The Day Today, and Brass Eye.

Goddamit. He wrote some of my favourite shows.

Well, people are complex. He was a phenomenal writer, and that's how I'll treat him. Anything beyond that scope is more or less a void

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I recall rewatching the I.T. crowd and thinking the scenes with younger Reynholm's trans love interest didn't age well.
https://youtu.be/x3BY72RF8vc

Even so, the activism-hate came later - most of I.T. Crowd is really good, and since it doesn't support him any more when I watch it, I won't stop.

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

It didn't, but it's still kinda better than a lot of trans representation back then. She is very clear and open towards him, and never does anything objectionable. He and his idiocy is what's being made fun of.

Not perfect by any stretch, but certainly not what I'd have expected from a writer who turns out to be a total bigot later on.
