And you can boost yourself!
ssh tunneling can be very useful for testing or one-shot things where you quickly need access to a service that's not directly reachable, but I wouldn't use it as a permanent solution for anything. You quickly run into problems like:
- TLS certificates don't work, so you get into the habit of clicking through security warnings or turning of TLS validation altogether.
- Virtual hosts don't work
- Port conflicts when you want to access the same type of service on different remote machines, so you have to remap them and remember things like:
localhost:8080isfoo:80andlocalhost:8081isbar:80 - If it's not your infrastructure (i.e. you are an employee in a larger company), you are probably bypassing all kinds of security rules by exposing a service and your security guys will not be too happy about it if they find out.
I do expect mods to moderate for free, because being unpaid also means that they're independent. That's an infinitely better situation than having anonymous paid mods who are accountable to a single corporation.
The problem is that reddit wants to have it both ways: they want to control the mods and treat them as subservient employees, yet at the same time still reap the benefits of their free work as they fuck them over by taking away the tools that make their job easier.
It would have been perfectly possible to charge a different rate for AI harvesting than for Reddit Apps.
I general why does there have to be static sidebars that are rarely used. It causes the content body to be squeezed into tiny space.
I think the rationale is that most people use widescreen monitors nowadays, so if you allow the content part to run across the entire width of the screen, it becomes ugly and hard to read. Therefore the middle section gets a limited or fixed width, which in turn then creates two empty columns to the sides that designers are then tempted to fill up with "useful" stuff.
You can try this yourself: paste a long line of text into a notepad window and maximize the window. It is much harder on your eyes to read and focus on the text than if you resized the window to a more reasonable width where the text gets broken up into several lines.
I'm not against this design paradigm per se, but the content width reduction is often overdone, leading to a squeezed feeling like you say. It can also create problems if you have a habit of not using maximized browser windows, but for example a window tiled to one half of the screen. Some of the better sites work around this by having a reactive design that reduces, collapses or removes the sidebars when the window is narrower than a certain width, but many sites don't.
Reddit to the mods: Users rely upon you and you have a duty towards the community, blablabla
Community: Hey Reddit, we want to continue to use our 3rd party apps
Reddit to community: Haha, fuck you peasants!
Nope. I made two comments about /u/spez before, but nothing like that and they're still visible in my history.
why deliberately pick such an untrue and inflamatory reason?
Yeah, that part really pisses me off. If they would have banned me for insulting /u/Spez or for a critical comment, I'd be mad but I'd wear it like a badge of honour. This is just the lowest of the low...
I obviously did no such thing. I'm pretty sure I didn't upload or comment anything sexual at all, let alone something involving minors. Wouldn't that warrant a permanent ban anyway, instead of 3 days?
Of course I appealed, because I would like to know exactly which comment violated their rules, but I'm not really expecting a reply.
I do find it highly suspicious that the ban came 1 hour after I made a critical comment on ModCoord... (screenshot attached)
I don't know who that is, but Supernault is a wicked family name!
