Mildly Infuriating

Is this your crypto key?

Posted a question to lemdro.id last week and sofar only got useless bot replies that seemed to have scrolled previous reddit posts about the same question.

edit: to fix bad phone autocorrect.

And the traffic doesn't go to reddit, which is exactly what we want.

Unfortunately, this comment is only 4 months old, which means it isn't in the data that is separated nicely in individual subreddit files. Instead it requires parsing through a massive 151GB file. Let's see how long it takes me to get the edited comments.

Pretty much any subdomain will go to the nginx server and it will only do something if youve configured that subdomain in the config - everything else just gets ignored, or you can setup a catchall to handle all the unconfigured stuff

so you will need something like this (might not be exact, been a long time since i had to configure NGINX haha)

server {
server_name ha.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP1:port1;
}
}
server {
server_name nextcloud.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP2: port
}
}

an easier way would be to use Nginx Proxy Manager which gives you a nice GUI to add and manage all the sites.

Thanks!

sharing actual text makes it searchable and easier to archive for the future

Me as well. I've been in situations where complete strangers online have answered and helped me so many times regarding problems I've had, so I've tried to return the favor through reddit and other platforms. I have no intention of doing this, this is just... mean IMO. You open the link in hope of finding an answer and you run into... this 😒.

I did it to over 85000 comments across 6 accounts

I did my own script for it. Most were deleted, a few recent ones were left edited.

It does suck for someone who wanted anything useful I posted, but ultimately I think Reddit having it to draw any traffic is more harmful. I want them to lose their stranglehold now that they're abusing it.

Caddy is the quickest to setup, IMO

GDPR also allows you to do a data deletion request.

That's not true. I edited (nearly) all my comments. Then did a GDPR request. All the comments I touched were overwritten in there.

I didn't catch all of them though, it's damn tough to get every single one. If you just go through your profile page by page they don't show all. If you select "Top" comments you find more. If you select "Controversial" you find even more and so on. So I only managed to overwrite maybe 95% or something, but it's good enough.

Oh and they also have caching and spam protection. So you have to slowly overwrite comments, about one comment every 3 seconds or you get rate limited. And directly after overwriting the comment it might still show up in the old version till their caching servers catch up. So maybe you thought you overwrote your comments, but in reality the requests failed in the background because you went too fast.
