You better watch out for those windows on your way down

Exactly, give me the one on the right, but built out of solid wood so it’s as strong as the one on the left

technologic-

Oh replay attacks, that makes a bit more sense. Honestly I’ve never been on such a poor network to run into that. I don’t know your situation, but I’d be doing anything I could to get away from that ISP if they’re actively manipulating your traffic

Damn, going from #1 to below average on the bell curve would be kinda disappointing, ngl

What’s a reply attack? Do you have people activity MITM-ing your connection? Personally I’ve found Wireguard performance to be significantly better, especially on spotty mobile Internet

There’s a big difference between a reference implementation and a proof of concept. A proof of concept just shows it’s possible at all, but a reference implementation is meant as a reference for “you should do it this way”. Expect most companies to just directly copy the reference because they’ll feel it’s a waste of time developing their own system that’s in compliance.

Well, they’re trying anyway

Yeah, running it through a compressor should work. Maybe I should set something like that up… I’ve had issues hearing certain people talk on YouTube when my air conditioner turns on. It’s infuriating if I’m watching an interview or something with multiple people speaking and their mics are at completely different levels so I can only hear one person or get blasted every time they speak.

For anything cinematic, the intent is usually to get more dynamic range. If you turn it up enough that the dialogue is audible, then the explosions will be as loud as an actual explosion. Fine in a movie theater, not so much in an apartment complex.

Feel free to provide the Australian equivalent of the quote if there is one. The country can be substituted for any not-yet-Fascist-controlled country and still apply, in my opinion.
Different countries might have different symbolism instead of a flag and cross, but the sentiment is that Fascism disguises itself and evolves to fit in wherever it goes.

Oh I’m sure they have lots of problems with the system in America. They’re going after anything they think they’ve even got a chance of affecting. Their website also says they’re trying to ban porn on X.

They didn’t say blameless, but they did heavily imply Collective Shout isn’t a problem and that people are worried about the wrong thing. I think Noxy’s interpretation and response that there’s multiple things to blame was pretty reasonable.

I don’t really have a link, but you might be able to find something talking about game server protocols. Outside of LAN, usually you’re either connecting to a central server, or a peer relay. With a relay server it’s just a proxy between you and the other players to hide your IP from others.
There’s plenty of cases in games that didn’t do this where malicious actors could find the IPs of the people they’re playing with and DDoS them to give themselves an advantage. Knowing someone’s IP will also probably tell you extra info about them like what city they’re in, and open them up for further hacking.

This says it started in 2019, Google Gemini was 2023. It seems like these big companies pick a name first and then figure out who they’ll have to sue after.

Hiding from the people oppressing you is pretty political

I’m just waiting for the response to be something along the lines of… “According to existing law (see Online Safety Act), websites are required to do age verification… blah blah blah, no changes will be made, thank you for your inquiry”

Maybe if they were a UK citizen living in the US, but if it was a US citizen, not a chance.

But that would actually solve the problem and not enable massive government overreach. We can’t have that.

Unfortunately robots.txt only stops the well behaved scrapers. Even with disallow all, you’ll still get loads of bots. Setting up the web server to block those user agents would work a bit better, but even then there’s bots out there crawling using regular browser user agents.
