The point is not about the app not working, the point is that many free VPN apps rent out your own IP address, often malicious.
Look for “residential proxy providers” and somehow these providers can offer you millions of IP addresses.
I use a Hetzner Storage Box as extra storage to my Hetzner VPS. It almost feels like the storage is directly attached. We serve thousands of archives and binaries and have absolutely no problems. It’s fast and decently reliable (except some downtime I once experienced). The initial file access time might not be the best but the bandwidth is great.
Because they know it’s not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.
This.
They also have a form to submit AI crawlers.
CloudFlare can also easily maintain an anti AI crawler service completely by itself if it takes a fee on top of their pay per crawl functionality. However, considering CloudFlare already has all the tools and infrastructure to do this cheaply, providing a good service wouldn’t be too hard.
I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.
Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.
The amount of requests my browser is making to that website is insane. POST /elasticsearch/mget every second. Looking at the response I see that the default (probably fake) questions have 1000+ answers.
You can just export your subscriptions and create an account on another instance in cases like these.
Privacy.
You can be suspicious but shouldn’t just outright start banning them.
Fun little project but I think auth_basic would be perfectly fine instead.
I wanna bet all the CO2 emissions he emits are as much as if he’d sell gasoline cars instead.
Lately the definition has become a bit blurred though. Like how some people only consider something “open source” if it also has a copyleft license.
PRs and issues are not a mandatory part of opensource.
You can literally bundle your code and serve it on some random page on a blog and it would be considered opensource.
No you just continue updating until it’s fixed again.
I have donated €1500 to opensource software projects and paid a whopping €7 for software. These (privacy respecting) projects got my money because they weren’t transaction based. Capitalism is not the only way.
It was as a response to a post about how the Chinese eat centipedes. I replied something along the lines of “yeah they eat some weird stuff, like virgin boy pee eggs”. The permaban stated “hate based on identity” and linked to the post. I made an appeal and linked the wikipedia page. Denied.
Fuck that platform anyways.
A little dubious
I once got permabanned for sharing that the Chinese eat eggs boiled in the pee of young boys.
I’m not going to make all of these apps myself.
I’m working on big boy apps.
I’ll get that info as soon as something breaks, I guess.
