Rix @caramelfox.net · 27/02/2026Test this out for yourself. Log into a Linux server and issue conntrack -F. Did your session drop? No? Exactly. Set it to 0 and repeat. Did your session drop? Yes? Congrats your firewall is now made of bricks and not toilet paper. 000 0

Rix @caramelfox.net · 27/02/2026This is also just barely scratching the surface. There are much more dangerous programs that ignore the system-level DNS and "do their own thing". I've caught a handful of IPs bypassing my DNS redirect getting blocked at the firewall, and that doesn't include those that are hiding behind DoH. 010 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 27/02/2026I don't feel any sympathy for these companies. If you're gonna do this much tracking you might as well make the Internet free or pay for my bandwidth. Wanna act like malware? Get treated like one. 110 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 27/02/2026Just how toxic is the surface web? Here is a snapshot of the last 15 minutes. Within 15 minutes 88% of queries blocked at the DNS level are reported to be telemetry/invasive tracking and/or hidden proxies trying to direct traffic elsewhere. 130 0

Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026All of this just to go back to my original question to you. Do you have any evidence of harm from children from attending such events? 100 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026I’m glad you recognize they are movies but you missed the whole point. All the movies I listed are rated “Parental Guidance” PG. We can agree that it’s weird but it’s also not illegal or wrong. Parents choose if they want their kids to attend this or not, that doesn’t mean it should be banned. 100 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026…audiences with children, we have lawmakers suing schools over having the 10 commandments be displayed in public schools.

Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026I guess Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy are pretty weird for their roles in Jack and Jill (PG) and Norbit (PG-13) respectively and of course Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire (PG-13). I don’t see them demanding anything other than requesting a public venue to act. If we want to talk about demanding… 200 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026The problem is Privilege. If you’re anything other than a White, Heterosexual, Christian Male any slight against you is justified because you’re different and that’s your own fault. I have no problem with traditional family values. I draw the line when people push those beliefs onto everyone else. 000 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026Adult weirdness does not necessitate harm, it promotes diversity and inclusion when different groups of people are allowed to exist in public and be seen. Parents do real harm to their children when they shame them for exploring, trying on different labels to find the ones that fit them best. 110 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 07/01/2026I do find it weird, but unfortunately I haven’t seen any evidence of drag queens forcing their way into libraries for story time. Could you share?

Rix @caramelfox.net · 03/07/2023That's also keeping in mind Bluesky is still in beta. I think it will definitely play into people's choice of where to go. Mastodon and the Fediverse have the benefit of time. They are ready to go now while Bluesky is playing a little bit of catch up. 000 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 03/07/2023Like the one problem I see that is hurting Bluesky right now is just the signup limitations. Bluesky is potentially missing thousands of new signups that are being picked up by competitors or the fediverse. The network effect will drive the traffic. It's just an arms race for now. 100 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 03/07/2023IIRC Jack is here directing the show in some capacity so I'd hope the lessons learned from Twitter can help Bluesky from repeating them. I think it'll definitely be interesting to see where people ultimately choose to move to once the dust settles a bit. 110 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 03/07/2023It brings a lot of the familiar UI back which I greatly appreciate. I think it's definitely a strong competitor, it should attempt to avoid repeating the same pitfalls of Twitter if they want to avoid recreating the same situations though. 110 0
Rix @caramelfox.net · 03/07/2023I’ve used Mastodon on and off since 2017. I’m instance admin for one and in my experience it’s not bad, it’s just different. The big thing Mastodon doesn’t do is firehose all known instances into the federated timeline so getting started is a bit difficult cause the timeline feels slow. 110 0
