I applied it to my site for a minute. Didn't break a thing. Just noticed a slight indent to a few things.
Mobile networks are all IPv6. IPv4 traffic is behind CGNAT. As a result, you can't ban individual cheaters, you have to ban the whole network.
This isn't really true, our tools do not just modify response data for no reason!

Our tools do the best that we can with an old format that is in use by many institutions. The WARC format does not account for H2/H3 data, which is used by most sites nowadays.

The goal of our (Webreocrder) tools is to preserve interactive web content with as much fidelity as possible and make them accessible/viewable in the browser. That means stripping TLS, H2/H3, sometimes forcing a certain video resolution, etc.. while preserving the authenticity and interactivity of the site. It can be a tricky balance.

If the goal is to preserve 'raw bytes sent over the network' you can use Wireshark / packet capture, but your archive won't necessarily be useful to a human.
If you really want to make them stop then take their return postage paid envelope, get a brick, use clear tape to wrap it around the brick, and drop it in the nearest mailbox. They have to pay the difference between the postage they paid and what it costs to have a brick delivered.

> Doctors don't respond well to randomly dropping theories on them.

Because they are liabilities. If he follows along with your theory and you get worse, he doesn't get to claim he was following accepted medical practice.

Plenty of smart guys turn into the doctor's worst enemies after things start going wrong. Wanna know what arguments they use in court against doctors who show patients this sort of respect?

> I couldn't possibly have known

> He is a doctor and I'm just a patient

> My judgement was impaired due to my sickness

If patients want to start dropping theories on doctors, they should be ready to share in the responsibility for the outcome. Courts have demonstrated that the vast majority of people are not ready to accept that responsibility.

> Most of the people a doctor gets either almost can't read or think they have all the diagnosis from "the internet".

Well said. Many of my patients are illiterate. Imagine how hard it is to obtain informed consent. Combine that with internet diagnosis and it's a shit show. I have people asking me about the benefits of some YouTube charlatan's special himalayan salts on a daily basis. And that's when they're not already using those things and dismissing medicine as a corporate conspiracy to keep them sick and perpeptually consuming drugs.

I have no problem with people who googled things, understood those things and who want my professional opinion on the matter. It only becomes a problem for me once they start trying to determine what the treatment is going to be. It's my name, signature and license on the prescription. The only options available to the patient are the ones I'm willing to write on that paper.
Sort of. In this case, as other posters have mentioned, the "landlord" did some questionable things.
Would you do me the favor of explaining the joke? I get the premise—nobody cares about die size, but the comment being mocked seems perfectly innocuous to me? They want a laptop without an NPU b/c according to link we get more out of CPU anyways? What am I missing here?
> I often think about how unreasonably great the regulations around “Unsubscribe” links in emails are.

My spam folder constantly receiving new messages from political campaigns under new lists and org names begs to disagree. One donation in 2008 and I'm simply trapped in the system with no recourse.

Seems like the rules selectively don't apply to certain classes.
Most journals that I know require the actual reviewer to be named. Usually it's phrased as "someone who assisted in writing the review." Someone could lie I guess but I'm not sure what they'd get out of that and at that point it would be outright fraud.
Question: would you expect it (or want it) to use a runner or a transpiler? Or does it not matter?
> Is anyone actually using FastAPI in a commercial, large scale app? Would you prefer using...say Django or Flask + Gevent (since they're more mature) over FastAPI?

Django and FastAPI are two different things. The former is a huge and opinionated MVC-like web framework and the latter is a simple library to make HTTP endpoints. I prefer
FastAPI but it really depends of what you are building and how many people are going to work on that API.

> What's odd for me is that the React website also asks you to pick between either Next.js or Remix[3].

It's indeed very odd, they made this change with the new doc. I would not recommend to pick any of those and just start your project with vite.js, so you can focus on React and keep it simple. You can use react-router for the routes and react-query to call your backend. You don't really need anything else.
Nobody is compelled to donate. Wikipedia doesn't automatically get 0.05c because I viewed their donation request.

On the other hand, the act of visiting someone's website with advertising they do get some remuneration automatically. And it inspires them to put more advertising on, and more intrusively.

Which is quite decentralized in a way.

Instead of paying 10 bucks to pollute the main Ethereum blockchain, I pay pennies in some second hand pepsi wannabe blockchain like Tron or Solana. I trade my assets once to the secondary chain and then I microtransact on what's effectively an L2 network.

Same thing with banks, we can't have dozens of transactions per day for stuff like a hamburger and a coffee, so they invented credit cards as a sort of L2 layer that does smaller transactions.

And then wallets like paypal popped up to fill the void in places where the transaction was too low or insecure to even warrant the use of a card, like when you buy porn o dumb videogames. So L3.

Having everything on THE blockchain is not actually the decentralized vision we would have in mind, quite the opposite, there's a bunch of blockchains and they communicate with each other.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I hate lugging around a big CPU core.
No humans. Try again, evolution, and this time do better!
Same here. I run a tiny Wordpress site that organizes private poker games for a local ~40 person league. We get maybe 5 signups a year from actual new members. We have it so that only admins can create new user accounts.

Once, that option got turned off accidentally and anyone could sign up. We got about 10 signups a day until I reverted the change, all spammers and bots.

The server logs also show that we get hit by script kiddies dozens of times an hour. This is such a tiny scale operation, with no meaningful commercial activity going on, but anything exposed to the public internet should be considered under attack 24/7.
I have an old Kindle Paperwhite where I both buy books from Amazon and sideload using Calibre and it has never deleted anything to my knowledge.

It's usually in airplane mode, but I of course turn syncing on whenever I buy a book from Amazon, and it never deleted any of my sideloaded books.

I wonder if this is a "feature" of new Paperwhites? If so, it would suck. I was looking to replace mine because it has the old micro USB connector that no other device I own uses, and so I must keep a cable just for it.

Absolutely zero. Even with compliance with this new rule you are still making more money, all things being equal, on recurring subscription income than just selling something to somebody once and that being it.

Plus if you have recurring subscriptions then you can change the terms of service that nobody reads whenever you want.
Really? Seemed like it was that their Kindle didn’t last very long and it’s a common problem while an old iPad just keeps on ticking.

If they're winding it down, then they may as well make it fully OSS, and ditch the components that are proprietary that they can't release. Attribution can get complex with old software IP, especially when using such proprietary components.
Crypto maxis like above really are the worst part of the entire crypto space. They go around spewing nonsense about whatever chain they perceive as "best". It's rather toxic and probably pretty bad for their mental health.

It's always kinda fascinating too. Like the person saw a post about Ethereum on here and raged out and created an account just to spew their digital gospel.

That may not be what you intended, but that is what you asked.

It looks like you intended "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome", but what you asked can just as well be interpreted as "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome."
There's a bunch of services that can moderately reduce latency by using better paths. Specially worth it if you want to play with friends in servers farther than 1000km away.

Heh. Yeah more or less.

To some degree I understand it, because as we’ve all noticed computers have pretty much plateaued for the average person. They last much longer. You don’t need to replace them every two years anymore because the software isn’t out stripping them so fast.

AI is the first thing to come along in quite a while that not only needs significant power but it’s just something different. It’s something they can say your old computer doesn’t have that the new one does. Other than being 5% faster or whatever.

So even if people don’t need it, and even if they notice they don’t need it, it’s something to market on.

The stuff up thread about it being the hotness that Wall Street loves is absolutely a thing too.
Great initiative!

Amtrak's dining car prices (for coach passengers) have gone up, and the food hasn't been spectacular, but the experience of eating while watching the world go by is hard to beat. Breakfast might be the best meal.

Meeting random passengers can be an added bonus.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about transfer-encoding, but the data is otherwise exactly as is returned from the browser. Browsertrix uses the browser to create web archives, so users get an accurate representation of what they see in their browser, which is generally what people want from archives.

We do the best we can with a limited standard that is difficult to modify. Archiving is always lossy, we try to reduce that as much as possible, but there are limits. People create web archives because they care about not losing their stuff online, not because they need an accurate record of transfer-encoding property in an HTTP connection. If storing the transfer-encoding is the most important thing, then yes, there are better tools for that.

I’ve looked into this a bit- I believe it’s related to the checkout page loading with a default of “Agrees to Marketing”.

What happens- at scale and I have to believe deliberately- is the “checkout created” event with that flag set to true is considered as “opted-in” by the marketing automation platforms everyone uses, like Klayvio.

Even if you immediately un-check it, un-checking doesn’t trigger an unsubscribe event, since you never submitted the form in the first place.

And because your Shopify session is now shared across stores, your email address gets opted-into marketing just visiting a checkout page.
I'm arguing that Meta isn't in this for altruistic reasons. In the short term, they're doing this so Apple/Google can't do to them with AI tech what they've done to them with mobile/browsers. (i.e. Meta doesn't want them owning the stack, and therefore controlling and dictating, who can do what with it) In the longer term: Meta doesn't sell access... yet. Meta shows no interest... yet. You could have said the same thing about Apple and Google 15+ years ago about a great many things. This has all happened before and this will all happen again.
> The Chinese government has direct access to the WeChat backend

Oh dear, I need to rant about this.

Everyone and their grandma know in their guts that the ccp keep every single thing you ever send. So why on earth do wechat not back up your convo (a bog standard feature that is available to even e2ee messengers) when you need to switch to a new phone? Yes, I know you can transfer data locally (with unintuitive process since wechat does not support simultaneous login on multiple devices) but what happens if your old phone outright died? I already relinquish all my privacy to the overlord so can they at least give us back some usability instead of this archaic pos?

Just need to vent my recent painful experience.
How do you keep those devices synced? I have over 500 accounts in my password manager. Do I need to manually set up 500 * 3 devices?

Ranking all 3000 Xkcd comics for charity, this Friday (10 AM ET)
To celebrate the release of the 3000th xkcd comic, I will be ranking all 3000 comics on a tier list starting at 10 AM ET on Friday, 2024-10-18. Based on a small sample, I expect it to take 8-10 hours (including occasional small breaks). I'm using a custom program I wrote just for this stream using Rust & egui: https://github.com/HactarCE/xkcd-rank

Simple. They weren't. Not their problem.
Amtrak seems to be very run down and barely alive. It's horribly slow and they wait for freight trains even when passenger rail supposedly has the right of way. People on the train by definition aren't going anywhere fast.

But I still like the dining car and observation car.
ASML shares -16% in Amsterdam, the most in 26 years

Unfortunately, blockchains sprung into popularity right around the time traditional bank transfers were finally prodded into the 21st century (SEPA, UPI, FedNow, etc).

Which means they're now competing against a digital, trusted-counterparty system.
I don't think anything I said is in conflict with what you've said, I'm pointing out one of the reasons the poster might still be getting spam from a mail he's reported as spam. The can spam act was more about senders requirements than email platform providers requirements for recieving (i.e. spam filtering). Yes the republicans were more affected by the spam filters but both researchers and internal communication indicated it wasn't because of any deliberate bias (just that republican emails were more likely to be like spam as far as an algorithmic interpratation goes (pure uncharitable conjecture: perhaps because one party was more likely to include a unsubscribe button even if it wasn't required by the can spam act and thus weren't reported as spam as much). Because of this they sued and google reportedly made more tools available or atleast publicised existing tools to both republicans and democrats to exclude their email campaigns from getting caught in the spam filters (tools that have also been made available to some of the larger more legitimate bulk email providers).
The problem for Intel and AMD is they are stuck with an OS that ships with a lag-inducing Anti-malware suite. I just did a simple git log and it took 2000% longer than usual because the Antivirus was triggered to scan and run a simulation on each machine instruction and byte of data accessed. The commit log window stayed blank waiting to load long enough for me to complete another tiny project. It always ruin my day.
OK, thanks for the info.

Hahaha! Who the hell asked for "print support?"
I know the spam folder is a special folder, but I assumed you could filter to it. Apparently not. A quick search tells me that you can set up a Google script to do this[0]. I personally use the secondary spam tag method, since I don't want such messages being deleted automatically (I filter a number of marketing and other messages to my secondary spam tag, and only check those messages when I need something; in these cases I don't actually want them being deleted automatically)

```
var threads = GmailApp.search("[your search criteria] -is:spam");
for (var iThread = 0; iThread < threads.length; iThread++) {
GmailApp.moveThreadToSpam(threads[iThread]);

Yep. The company that my 401K is managed through began sending me these stupid emails about “Tips to manage your wealth”, and it was marked as an email that could not be unsubscribed from because it was pertinent to my account. It took an angry note left on their feedback form with a threat to report them to get those emails to finally stop showing up. It’s disgusting. I literally can’t even tell which emails I need to pay attention to that are about my 401K because they mingle spam in there.
OpenKeychain – An OpenPGP Implementation for Android
I don't have that problem with my paperwhite...

I've side-loaded .mobi and .pdf files, and have never had anything disappear, whilst still buying some things from Amazon kindle store...
So, I tested this. You are all partially correct - it's not the Kindle putting the DRM on the files, they already have them when you download them. That said, the DRM code IS matched to the serial number of your Kindle device, so my previous -admittedly not properly tested - assumptions still stand.

I then went to investigate, how all this is done and found this:

https://itstillworks.com/kindle-drm-17841.html

As for the side-loaded books - I still can't open them on any other device (did the DRM check work the same on Paperwhite 1st gen?). No idea why.
WordPress retaliation impacts community
Yeah sorry for that. It should be working now
The idea of client-side "cookies" existed even before CS:GO. I remember in CS:S the server was able to change game variables set on the client. I wrote a script for a CS:S server that would fingerprint a cheater by setting an obscure game variable to a unique value and so being able to identify the player through that even if they had a different steam id and ip. It seemed to work well for a long time for getting rid of the most common cheaters but of course the most commited and capable ones with RE skills will always be ahead of the game.
That's like telling a woman with a beating husband that it's better to stay with him because the other men are worse.

Oral History of Jim Keller [video]
I agree that as an author, you’re free to pick any license you want. If you want to release source code just to allow PRs, and don’t market it as open source – go for it.

Fair Source is a better model in that regard, kudos for using that! And I personally have no problem with using the term “open source” for that, although just using the distinct term is better.

In case of Winamp though, they:

1. Used a crayon license that prohibited pretty much everything and was indeed focused on collaboration

2. Made a press release about “opening up” the source – not using the exact phrase “open source” (except in the URL: https://about.winamp.com/press/article/winamp-open-source-co...), but misleading nonetheless

3. Weren’t even the original authors

This is openwashing, and it is ridiculous, and they were rightfully shamed.
