I can confirm I have already some experience with the fact of VPN usage being flagged as a high change of automated traffic (except it was TOR, which is pretty much identical in this context).

Discord put me a wealth of captcha, Wikipedia refused edition of pages (even with my account. Which IMO looks like an oversight). And many pages just had captchas even when not trying to log-in.

I'll have to thanks Lumen contributors (Google first). I'm not worried about Google de-indexing them, but I'm,more worried about others (I have experienced lacking result on DuckDuckGo (and Bing, that they use) over what I can only assume is wrongfull (and non-transparent) DMCA (first with ListenBrainz).

I've switched to Brave. Work better.

Tiens tiens tiens... J’ai justement un tas de texte horriblement traduit par moi-même de l’anglais d’il y a quelques années... Je pourrait en mettre quelques unes (bien que je les ait presque toutes corrigées)

Well... That seems uselessly risky and complex when you can just ask them to not do that. The issue tracker said the Youtube folks have been informed. Let’s just see if they fix that rather quickly. (but they are certainly not the only one with that kind of stuff. I’m not a big fan UA discrimination. I mean, this kind of stuff is what webcompat is all about.) (except for some purpose where you truly care about the architecture, like selecting a download link for an installer) (on the other side, I’m totally fine with feature-flags based discrimination, but that need to be done client-side).

To start this project, you 1. Install Nix and 2. Run nix run (god I really love Nix. When it work. And use IFD to not have to manually update a single hash/run a command when you update the lock files.)

Well, I'm not that pessimist, at least not on those 2 points. I hardly see how CSP would prevent addon to do their stuff, as CSP is protection against cross site attacks, and extension aren't sites (thought I actually remember having an issue like that once making an extension, but correcting the extensio's permissions solved it).

And DRMs only apply on the video stream. It won't protect the webpage or the javascript. Plus there are content on youtube that they are contractually required to not put behind DRMs.

What I'm worried youtube will do is simply that their server will refuse to send the video until a certain time after the user load the page, thid time corresponding to a bit less than the time the user would wait by playing ads.

It won't force the user to watch ads. But it'll deincensitive it by a certain amount.

This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).

Next year (1st january 2024), it'll be in the US (but just the first version from Steamboat Willie and The Gallopin' Gaucho)

Ariane 6 service start got late. Not Ariane 5 decommisionning. So they end with no Ariane launcher for some time.

FYI, arm can already handle most Open Source Software with no problem as far compiling them is concerned. In particular, Qt and GTK does work, and cross compiling too is very easy. Not that it's necessary anyway (aside of probably faster compilation unless you have really good ARM CPU). In particular, QEMU have qemu-user (if you didn't know), which basically Rosetta for Linux, but with a good performance hit when testing cross-compiled code.

Edit: In my opinion, what will switch the faster to a non-x86 on a large scale (for computers, not counting phones, tablet and microcontroller, not using them anyway) are servers. A lot of them use standard open source software, so switching might be pretty easy if the package manager abstract it (like... All of those I know).

I mean, certain cloud provider are starting to offer renting such servers (and not speaking of all those hacker who host server on raspi (and then those who use standard linux on mobile phone too))

Well... Actually, monopoly is used in French for things that isn’t stricly speaking the sole actor (sorry). There are concurrence (mostly in the form of AMD and Intel in the PC DGPU market, and others in phone/mobile GPUs).

And for mobile operating system, they would count as a duopoly. Aside of IOS and Android, there isn’t much (thought Android is a bit special by the fact it can be reused by other vendors without the google-specific parts).

Actually, maybe the DGPU market could be seen as a triopoly (not much choice beside Intel, AMD and NVidia).

(and if we don’t use the term of monopoly, we can still say for sure they are the main provider of DGPU, which is very likely to cause competition issue)

 

I plan to start working on my small setup for personal use. While I'm already pretty on certain on what I'll use on the software side (2 different server with CEPH in network, with an erasure coding (k=2 and k+m=4))

I plan to start with 4 4TiB HDD (plus maybe a small SSD for cache). I already have two laptops with broken screen laying around, and would like, to minimize initial investement, reuse them, and just them into the USB's connection (and connect them with a switch via Ethernet, plus maybe an overlay network if it work well)

I would like to know if someone have recommandation for getting these hard drive? For tax avoidance reason, it is important for them to be internal HDD (as they are considerably less taxed than USB HDD for stupid reason)

 

So... It happened that I work with the ponies, and there was that funny animated image "oooooo you like mares? ur a marekisser" that was commonly shared around the Discord server we use for organisation.

So, I worked on a pixel art version of this (a good training experience), and it was decided to put it near the small one. And here it is.

(the small was here before us, but it looks nice too)

 

I have subscribed to a bunch of communities, some more active than other. It seems the front page, with all subscribed community appears qorted by active/hot, only show a few of the most active communities, making other less active ones not appear here, even yhought there are content posted. (mostly visible with !news@beehaw.org and !technology@beehaw.org).

I there a way to somehow reduce the ranking of these communities so more niche content have more chance to appear in the front page?

Thanks.
