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.

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.)

I often use Tribler for torrents. It’s a TOR-like system specialized into torrent, and does work well with any torrents. (I’ll put a warning that the system might not be totally safe against targetted attack, but it should be against standard complaint to ISP)

If said content contain books (or maybe others pdf/epubs/docx), I would recommend uploading to one of the website that will eventually be mirrored by Anna’s Archive. (see https://annas-archive.org/datasets)

I feel like it might be interested to add this. Said “bridge” on OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.78168/-81.28259

There’s a few photos from this article. It’s a dirt road, somewhere where you should (and he probably did) drive slowly.

ISP can’t block it easily if it’s on I2P, something akin to TOR but also kinda different. Thought going against the hoster is totally possible if not anonymous (and there actually are already piracy (torrent over I2P) website on that network)

That’s actually a pretty good idea, thought It have some defect, in particular, each ActivityPub server have a limited view of the whole network. While it is usefull for avoiding abuse, it also have the downside that you can’t search for the whole thing that’s published on a platform.

But that could be solved with what is called backfilling (that Matrix does incredibly well). Sepia search (for Peertube) also does this.

Mixing ActivityPub with backfilling would be a really good idea. You can share metadata of ressources, have multiple instance, admin could block abusive website, and searching the whole site would be possible.

Maybe I’ll go study what already exist on this side.

(as an aside, Tribler does something similar to that, but only for Torrent and P2P)

Hello! (hey, you’re the boykisser person. I find that meme quite funny, even if I prefer the marekisser fork (that is next to the small boykisser))

Anyway, may I ask for my pixel placement? If that help, I’m the only user on my instance.

The thing is, we have our own, big template that cover all our arts, and we would like to put firefox on it. But the colors looks slighty different, cause the original image color doesn’t match exactly the color of the canvas. (But I can just change the image so it looks the same on our template and your reference when displayed in Canvas). For now, it’s removed from the template to avoid conflict.

Hello. Seems like the pony faction really like it. But there is a problem: We use a custom system for determining how to match canvas’s pixel with the source image, and it looks different than what it looks on your side.

Do you want to review ours? It’s here. If you want to change it, feel free to tell me, I’ll relay the info.

Edit: we deleted it waiting for a response, see here: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1136699394037657791/1137306327799058492/Sans_titre.png?width=69&height=74

I know the one who did this. He thought it was C#.

I indeed find said NEW algorithm to be more diverse, thought I prefer the hot view (or at least I would if it were more diverse).

So… At the end lf the article, it also mention non-recheargeable battery used in devices. But where? (watch, maybe?). All of those I know are the easiliy repleaceable ones which can also be switched with recheargeable one’s.

(Actually, if Wikipedia is to trust and up to date. Those so called primary battery indeed have an important market share)

Well… I can cite a few laws. First, the part that protect DRM, second, the law that require search engines to make contract to quote article, third, the interest in policing private communication, and last, a project that isn’t really advanced to infringe net neutrality.

I doubt a US citizen will be shocked about them. But they are likely to dislike them.

(but I tend to see the greener side of “for 1 bad things, 2 good things come next”)

Matrix, what seems to be the most ovious replacement to Discord, is an incredible piece of software from a technical point of view. It have Conflict-free Replicated Datatype, which give an hard guarantee that no message will be skipped over and old message will also be fetched. Something that ActivityPub doesn’t permit, and is quite a problem with Mastodon at times (much less on lemmy, given you follow communities, and so everything on these communities will be synced, thought not backfilling)
