I like to code, garden and tinker
Can someone explain to me how using biometrics rather than a password/pin to protect from unauthorized access to your passkeys doesn’t violate the “something you have” and “something you know” principle of multi-factor authorization? Most of these implementations seem squarely geared at user convenience at the cost of actual security.
Tariffs: A list or system of duties imposed by a government on imported or exported goods.
You provide a service, not goods. You will be unaffected by any tariffs.
Centralization is a weakness. These services can be targeted by governments that want to limit communication. Free speech is a commodity, and servers host this free speech. If a hostile organization, such as a government, targets a channel of free speech such as those hosted on a platform that makes it easy to setup a mastodon instance, this become an easy target that will affect a large portion of users. If you are serious about freedom, you have the freedom to self-host your own platforms.
Edit: I realize my post doesn’t answer the question proposed, but it’s more of an argument against such services. I would argue self-hosting doesn’t rely on paying third-parties to host your software, but I guess this is in the eye of the hoster.
Our studies show this lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas people associate with human traits, like providing emotional support or counselling.
This is really dangerous, as subjective matters can easily steer people in vulnerable positions to think and act a certain way. Depending on the training data and safe guards put in place, this could easily lead to AIs telling users to do horrible things to themselves or others.
When I say residential IP addresses, I mostly mean proxies using residential IPs, which allow scrappers to mask themselves as organic traffic.
Edit: Your point stands on there are a lot of services without these protections in place, but a lot of services are protective against scrapping.
I don’t think either are good, but it’s funny how it’s bad when the other guy is doing it.
Foreign propaganda bad. Native propaganda good.
Edit: To add on this, isn’t this capitalism? These people are being paid to do a job, shouldn’t that be celebrated? /s
I completely agree. The only deviation from past policies is that the United States did not want to take land, just keep the country under their thumb as to gain the economic advantage without the cost of actually making the country a US territory. The fact the United States has territories that are a long way from being states while they are talking about sovereign countries becoming the “51st state” due to supposed economic value is ridiculous. This is only being said because the incoming leadership is a strongman moron who just wants to appear strong, and stealing is something strongmen do.
South America from what? Imperialism is different than taking the land outright. The United States has exploited far more than South America, but they never seized their land (except during the expansionary period in the past, the United States did steal land then but I’m talking modern times past stealing Hawaii, as bad as that was).
Edit: Replace “America” with “The United States” because saying America exploited South America is a bit confusing.
The only way I can think of is require users to authenticate themselves, but this isn’t much of a hurdle.
To get into the details of it, what do you define as an AI bot? Are you worried about scrappers grabbing the contents of you website? What is the activities of an “AI Bot”. Are you worried about AI bots registering and using your platform?
The real answer is not even cloudflare will fully defend you from this. If anything cloudflare is just making sure they get paid for access to your website by AI scappers. As someone who has worked around bot protections (albeit in a different context than web scrapping), it’s a game of cat and mouse. If you or some company you hire are not actively working against automated access, you lose as the other side is active.
Just think of your point that they are using residential IP addresses. How do they get these addresses? They provide addons/extensions for browsers that offer some service (generally free VPNs) in exchange for access to your PC and therefore your internet in the contract you agree to. The same can be used by any addon, and if the addon has permissions to read any website they can scrape those websites using legit users for whatever purposes they want. The recent exposure of the Honey scam highlights this, as it’s very easy to get users to install addons by selling users they might save a small amount of money (or make money for other programs). There will be users who are compromised by addons/extensions or even just viruses that will be able to extract the data you are trying to protect.
This is a prime example of capitalist brain rot. Capitalists think their money is ethereal and controls the world. Money is a means of conducting trade in a more efficient manner, it can’t materialize anything out of nothing. You can’t just value Greenland based on how exploitable the land/resources are. The only way you could buy Greenland is if the Danish government agreed to sell it, and this isn’t the game of monopoly and the Danish are not looking to sell their territory.
I didn’t vote for Elon, Bezos, or Zuckerberg. I don’t even use any of their products. How did I get to choose?
While the Democrats smized and handed us over “peacefully” for pogroms, territorial grabs, limitless pollution, genocides and domestic terror in the name of their sacred oligarchic democracy
By Democrats I assume you mean the current Democrats leadership. They handed us over peacefully as most of them won’t be affected by the issues that will inevitably be created and didn’t want to create a standard of being held liable for their actions. Also is a oligarchic democracy really a democracy?
Personally speaking, going forward all we can do is try to do the best we can in the given situation. Help those around you, as you clearly stated you have, and keep those close to you and your neighbors safe. Those who stayed in Germany and protected those who were under attack by the Nazi party were the bravest and most impactful in my opinion.
I’d just skip OpenVPN altogether and get started with Wireguard or Headscale/Tailscale.
This one was huge for me. OpenVPN is pretty heavy with CPU overhead, where as wireguard is almost free. I was getting throttled due to the overhead of OpenVPN and roasting the CPU on my Netgear R6350 (it’s what I had lying around). With wireguard I get nearly the same speeds as without a VPN and my loads are very reasonable.
Also with weaker routers like mine, be wary of trying to use QoS, this will probably not help network congestion and instead become a bottleneck (like it did for me). This is where a beefy dedicated router really shines.
From my understanding, you are pretty safe as long as you don’t provoke them (walking through the middle of them might be considered provoking) or near their calves. This article from the UK states “Where recorded, 91% of HSE reported fatalities on the public were caused by cows with calves”. Basically, mothers with a child are going to be very protective.
Cows are a domesticated creature, so they are generally docile, but I would exercise caution because if need be they will use their mass and strength against you. I’ve heard of stories of farmers running from cows and narrowly escaping under a fence. Most of these did involve a farmer trying to separate a calve from it’s mother. I’ve also heard stories of cows jumping fences.
And as far as memes go:
Semi-cold? That’s extra, you’ll be lucky to afford it. The affordable water been sitting out on the pavement for a few weeks.
Yea this is just syntax, every language does it a little different, most popular languages seem to derive off of C in some capacity. Some do it more different than others, and some are unholy conglomerations of unrelated languages that somehow works. Instead of saying why is this different, just ask how does this work. It’s made my life a lot simpler.
var test int is just int test in another language.
func (u User) hi () { ... } is just class User { void hi() { ... } } in another language (you can guess which language I’m referencing I bet).
map := map[string]int {} is just Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>() in another (yes it’s java).
Also RTFM, this is all explained, just different!
Edit: I also know this is a very reductive view of things and there are larger differences, I was mostly approaching this from a newer developers understanding of things and just “getting it to work”.
This would only affect the 12V rail though no? It’s not like they are beefing up the 5V rail that supplies your USB ports in excessive amounts. Picking a random PSU from pcpartpicker, the CORSAIR RM650e vs RM1200e (650W vs 1200W) both have a +5V@20A rail. There would be no need to have a larger 5V rail to support gaming cards.
Also correct me if I am wrong, most PSU’s are more efficient at 20-50% utilization, not 100%. I’m basing this off the higher ratings for 80 Plus.
This assumes a pin is used, which according to the WebAuthn wikipedia page is not generally the case:
The way I read this, a pin is even too much for the end-user and biometrics replace it for usability.
