I made dedicated posts about it and corrected the mistake there, I missed this comment. Thanks for pointing it out.

At this point, the community is clean. So unless more is posted, then you should be good. If someone searched for the community and caused a preview to load while the content was active though, then it could be an issue.

From what I was informed, purging a post doesn’t remove the associated cached data. So I didn’t take any chances.

Not really. You could technically locate the images and determine precisely which ones they are from their filenames, but that means you actually have to view the images long enough to pull the URL. I had no desire to view them for even a moment, and just universally removed them.

As mentioned in my edit above though, ensure you are in compliance with local regulations when dealing with the material in case you have to do any preservation for law enforcement or something.

I’m on 1.18.4, once I deleted the most recent images, the former CSAM posts(among others) became broken images. So yes, it was pulling from local disk cache. Then I took care of the posts themselves after the content was invalidated.

Someone could potentially decide to post something like that in a memes community to cause trouble, which would be worrying for a self-hoster like me. My instance isn’t subscribed to anything remotely sketchy, so it sounds like I’m unaffected here, but it could happen.

Ignore the previous, that’s literally what they did. I went in and manually purged it from the command line by removing every image from the last 24 hours. For other lemmy admins wanting to do the same (assuming a standard docker setup): sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;

Nah, I don’t typically run a VPN.

There was a bunch of media flying around when I was a kid that SpongeBob was turning kids gay. So this meme is kinda close to reality.

this is the hardest i’ve ever snorted. my colon actually hurts a little now

What was incredibly strange about my situation was that it was initially a DNS problem, it couldn’t resolve the addresses tha tthe hotel wifi wanted it to get to for the portal. I double checked, and basic DNS queries were working, just not those ones.

So I figured, I’ll go on my phone, grab the IP addresses it’s connecting to, stick those in my hosts file, and they’ll get resolved. Well, this worked for the first portal address, but the one it redirected to couldn’t be reached. Nothing I tried worked, so I had to do what I described above.

Last time I went on vacation, the hotel wifi wouldn’t let my laptop on for some reason, but my phone was fine. The portal to log in just wouldn’t come up on my laptop.

So I took my phone off the wifi and just spoofed my phone’s MAC address on the laptop. Did that for the whole week I was there.

One time a dude was really blazed and handed a driver a $50 bill instead of a 5, but that’s the only time I can think of outside especially large orders.

When I managed a pizza place, people would ask if the driver could bring change for $100. I’d tell them if they wanted to leave a $50 tip, the driver can give them his $20.

Reminds me of Obsidian, which is what I use for notes. But obsidian isn’t selfhosted. I might actually host a copy of that because it’s cool

You can host a webmail like roundcube or similar. I don’t know if they can be turned into PWAs with phone notifications though.

I only eat one real meal a day and supplement with light snacks and plenty of fluids. As long as that one meal is something of substance and not say, a ramen packet or something like that, I feel pretty good. There are people that do one meal a day with no other food intake at all, too, but that’s a bit low for me.

I enforce ISO 8601 for the shared storage in my office. Before I got there, files were kinda stored in all kinds of formats, but mostly month first.

I tell the person under me she can store her files in her user any way she wants, but if it goes into shared storage, it’s ISO 8601. I even have a folder in there called !Date format: YYYY-MM-DD Description to help anyone else remember.

I have -1 communities in my instance because I made a test one and deleted it early on.

In my experience, nobody cares about experience. They care who you know. I came out of college with several years of experience dealing with Windows and Linux servers, and run Linux as a full time OS at home. Nobody cared.

My friend in the military has a Senior Engineer looking to set him up as a developer at Microsoft once he leaves the Army, and he had to ask me what language/IDE he should start learning to code with.

Except it’s gonna cost you more like $499.99 to stay alive.
