if "hello".casefold() in open('/usr/share/dict/words/').read(): return True 

In most UNIX-based systems, a /usr/share/dict/words
file exists. Name and location can be different for you.

Goal: Create the smallest self-replicating file.

A valid submission will:

1. Produce exactly 1 copy of itself
2. Name the copy "4"
3. Not execute the copied file
4. Print, return, or display the number 4

Looks like they are accepting all file types, which makes it a very interesting challenge covering a wide range of environments.

Hey here's another stupid idea out of a late night mood. How about a brainstorming thread about a tiny reddit alternative? What would be a minimal implementation that is functional enough but sort of self contained so it can be self hosted without effort? Think like what mastodon or even twtxt is for twitter but for reddit? Maybe something that implements enough functionality to self host a single subreddit and then make it connected to other self hosted subreddits? If you think this is stupid let me know but I think there's something to it.

Okay good that I asked a friend before posting. There's lemmy, join-lemmy. Which looks pretty cool but is definitely not tiny. Anyone got something similar but tiny?

Yes we are NSFW now. Why? Apparently Reddit is not able to put ads in NSFW subreddits and this serves as a little miniature (should I dare to say tiny?) protest against the upcoming API changes.
