Up until yesterday, this problem didn't exist but today when I was connected to a VPN, I couldn't post either a text or image post. I got this error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

After I disconnected from my VPN, the error went away. What gives?

It pops up and down from the bottom of the screen when I don't want it to

I resolved the problem by switching from Gnome Files (which is the default File Manager of Debian 12) to Thunar.

Here's the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that's what it shows up as on the dock when it isn't mounted):

 undefined

    
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000    0   0

  

After making that entry in fstab, I execute the, systemctl daemon-reload, command, and then mount -a, afterwards which gives me this error.

I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu.

Here are the folders that I want to share with my Windows 10 VM (guest):

I added these folders in the Virtual Machine Manager (their full names were truncated):

However, only 'Important Folder A' is showing up:

How do I get all three folders to show up?

(1) Give users the ability to mark posts as NSFW after making them. Right now, we can only mark posts as NSFW before posting them afaik.

(2) Limit the amount of space videos take up on the screen. I upload videos to catbox.moe and then post their links in the URL textbox. The problem is that right now, if you click on a video post, the video can fill up 2/3rds of the screen or even more, making the video clip unwatchable. To work around this issue, you can use the zoom out setting on your browser but that makes this more complicated than it should be. A fixed-size or proportional-size video playback frame (is that the right technical term?) is needed.

I run a community called, c/mmababes, where I post pics of martial artists who have given me their consent. I want to start posting short video clips as well but the video hosting options I'm aware of are not adequate (on Reddit you could upload video clips directly to the site and this was a good solution, minus the issues with playback quality).

Gfycat used to be a great option for hosting short video clips, which could be made private so that users of that site couldn't view them unless they had links to them. Unfortunately, Snap pulled the plug on Gfycat.

The next best option is RedGIFS but the problem is that it's primarily for adult content and I don't think that people who have trusted me with their video clips would appreciate me uploading them to a site that hosts porn.

Are there any alternatives?

If not, will this feature be added in the future?
