I don't know. But one potential advantage of bsky over mastodon is the data and real account migration capability between instances.

Also bsky is run by a company and overall infra is better than most community instances of mastodon, so people will see better performance and more ad/pr visibility of the platform.

Apart from usual ubo, reader mode and friends trained eyes are very effective content filter. We all can glance on a search result page or an article and immediately know if it's content or low effort craps.

Stay out of mainstream social media, stop consuming 'feeds'. Stay in the realms of personal sites, blogs and sane link aggregators/rss to keep mental peace of not having to filter garbage with eyes everyday.

Wouldn't that disrupt the usage of a phone as a server?

I honestly don't understand the Dutch techno reference.

The objective of reCAPTCHA (or any captcha) isn't to detect bots. It is more of stopping automated requests and rate limiting. The captcha is 'defeated' if the time complexity to solve it, whether human or bot, is less than what expected. Now humans are very slow, hence they can't beat them anyway.

I've a suggestion that might work depending on how honest the perspn hiring the worker is and on their contract. You can tell the person to send some questionnaire or feedback form etc to all of them which will track their ip and name/email (say unique form per worker). Then you can match the ip, as home ips are mostly static for short duration. Tell them to send the form at night or sometime when they'll be at home and give it a short deadline.

Android userland is vastly different from 'linux' ie desktop linux people are used to. While there exists unshare/proot based containers (termux is an example) it might not be suitable for privileged features of kernel except for rooted devices.

Chromeos is much closer to desktop linux (init being upstart not systemd afaik) but still the 'linux' apps run inside crosvm to keep the locked down nature of the os intact.

Forget gpus. A framebuffer is all you need :)

How?

I think they blocked in all and this community is subbed?

unless brute force was done, it might be a cold boot, usb exploit or bootloader exploit by physically accessing the storage.

You can try asahi linux on the macbook :)

Blinkenlighs, LED patches with patterns. Rarely candles.

Not particularly holiday. I do whenever I like or I celebrate (including holidays).

Edit: Only home. Only my bedroom if don't have much time. People call ot weird cause why not living room that others see, but I'm ok with it :)

It always worked for me except in some cases the 'hardware' compositor (ie the wayland side) is a bit buggy for clipboards and inputs in general. I had issues with lxc network in past but that's long ago.

I still don't understand what borked your system. Waydroid downloads the images, mounts and runs them inside lxc just like normal android. It doesn't touch your /usr or anything else. Works well in immutable os too.

Afaik steam deck doesn't have a gps module. You've to get any of their identifying information.

What you can do is perhaps sending memes with different cannery token redirects for each worker. Send them around when the device is being used. That way you can compare the grabbed ip with steam log and see which worker's match. As the deck doesn't have sim they either will use home wifi or mobile hotspot. Both will work this way.

We prefer the big display wall at work, that's the point of workplace. Anyone can watch anything on phone anywhere, why would I go to work for that?

Unity was envisioned to become mir based eventually. So they invented a whole new display protocol when wayland was there, vastly immature though :)

both can be installed side by side if you have enough disk space.

Say I host a malicious server with ipv6 only. You visit the site without NAT. I get your ip and ip:631 is open (unless firewall and listen is restricted to prefix). Usual attack afterwards.

Edit: You need to have ipv6, for example many mobile networks.

zig build

If you need to switch without reboot then dual booting is out of question and hence so is Asahi. Asahi is for running linux on apple hardware. In VM you can run anything; drawbacks include non native performance, can't directly use touchpad, gpu and other hardwares, it's still running macos underneath which might be a concern of privacy depending on how much you trust the proprietary code by apple, not using free software stack etc.

Then? Manually?

There isn't a good way to classify human users with scripts without adding too much friction to normal use. Also bots are sometimes welcome amd useful, it's a problem when someone tries to mine data in large volume or effectively DoS the server.

Forget bots, there exist centers in India and other countries where you can employ humans to do 'automated things' (youtube like count, watch hour for example) at the same expense of bots. There are similar CAPTCHA services too. Good luck with those :)

Only rate limiting is the effective option.

hCaptcha, Microsoft CAPTCHA all do the same. Can you give example of some that can't easily be overcome just by better compute hardware?

And what will you do if a person in a CGNAT is DoSing/scraping your site while you want others to access? IP based limiting isn't very useful, both ways.

stopping automated requests

yeah my bad. I meant too many automated requests. Both humans and bot generate spams and the issue is high influx of it. Legitimate users also use bots and by no means it's harmful. That way you do not encounter captcha everytime you visit any google page, nor a couple of scraping scripts gets a problem. Recaptcha (or hcaptcha, say) triggers when there is high volume of request coming from same ip. Instead of blocking everyone out to protect their servers, they might allow slower requests so legitimate users face mininimal hindrance.

Most google services nowadays require accounts with stronger (like cell phone) verification so automated spam isn't a big deal.

And maybe the physical thing you provide to that person may only last for an hour, but the memory of something a kind person did for them will (hopefully) persist as well

I don't know if you have been in India but I have. Begging has become a profession there. So most likely they won't recognize individual donors. Also what OP mentioned is a real problem. Easily you'll meet more than 20 homeless people at once around you in any big railway station.

From what I understand, shitty politics and rising inequality is the reason behind this.

the bad guys use bots or services and are done. regular users have to endure while no security is added

put in other words, common users can't easily become 'bad guy' ie cost of attack is higher hence lower number of script kiddies and automated attacks. You want to reduce number. These protections are nothing for bitnet owners or other high profile bad actors.

ps: recaptcha (or captcha in general) isn't a security feature. At most it can be a safety feature.

ipv6 doesn't give the NAT. A malicious website can mount the attack.

The text. And probably images too (but the only mistake being the wrong port depiction (all c) says more human).

Oh I thought it has some hidden proxy feature to access porn in workspace.

Yeah ofcourse firewall is the good idea here. I personally have firewall on on every device so that I can manage what can connect and from where.

The point is though often people just disable firewalls (some distros do not install/enable by default too) to workarround certain issues quickly like kdeconnect not connecting, bridge not working and such. That's how I think the whole 'ipv4 NAT is the best (consumer) firewall' concept came popular.

Goes away with js disabled. Rest of page works fine.

It's opening full for me. Probably geo paywalled..

My point was that unity was innovative, not just gnome with extras.

Back then I actually liked mir (also unity) personally more than wayland.

I think a DRE with a doctorate can tell for sure.

9p server

I find banking apps pretty infuriating. Don't support rooted/custom rom. Too easy to make mistake. Susceptible to 'malware' (ie intent jacking or if the app logs tokens in logcat lol). I use netbanking when needed. For txn logs, mostly SMS works fine.

I find keeping bank account logged in always isn't necessary and just a invitation of hassles.
