How is blocking scrapers easy?

This instance receives 500+ IPs with differing user agents all connecting at once but keeping within rate limits by distribution of bots.

The only way I know it’s a scraper is if they do something dumb like using “google.com” as the referrer for every request or by eyeballing the logs and noticing multiple entries from the same /12.

You would likely be refused entry for not handing over the phone, legal or not.

Using a burner phone is the best bet.

That was a good read, thank you

Because American politics is just an us vs them game. No reasoning, no discussion, just the other bad.

Yeah this. I dunno what the fuss is about. Its just missing on github is all.

Literally missed the point my comment.

With Windows 10, Microsoft started performing a monthly cumulative updating schedule. Every second Tuesday of the month is “patch day” and a new monthly cumulative update is made available.

There are exceptions to this, for security and bug fixes that can’t wait until the next monthly round-up. So perhaps this month was one of those? But trends are that updates are monthly. I can see it being perceived as more often, as the update is forced onto us, with a reboot, which can be frustrating.

Azure servers now support reboot-less updating, hopefully that makes its way to consumer products, but who knows.

Microsoft has always had a bad rep for their OS being full of holes and getting exploited. However some of this was due to users not updating. Microsoft would patch an issue, but huge swaths of unpatched Windows machines would be exploited and used as botnets. I think the forced updates were in response to this situation. Not that I agree with it.

Sorry, you’re right. The point I was trying to clumsily make is that It didn’t have the effect that the RAF were aiming for. Which was to break morale and more importantly, stem the civilian population production of war. If anything, production increased, despite the terror.

I’m incredibly ignorant on WW2, and in general knowledge, being a nerd and all, my brain is full of Linux. However I have recently been watching the World War in Color series. I’ve been watching several other similar series and I’m totally hooked now.

The run-up to WW2 and current US affairs look strikingly similar. I look at the TV, then my phone, then back at the TV and “it’s the same picture”.

The British turned entire cities into flame tornados during ww2, and it galvanised the Germans rather than deter them.

Is once a month “very, very frequent”?

We have backyard chickens. The huge one was a double yoker and delicious 😋

Oh okay. We shall continue to wait then :)

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

My wife and I were looking forward to this. We played the original together a bunch of times.

Oh well, thanks for sharing, will go look for something else. Damn.

Seeing steam at the top makes me question the list. Likely a hate of DRM rather than privacy
