Correct. Everyone knows this trick so everyone filters out the everything from the + to the @.

Even when email lists are “legitimately” sold it’s removed.

This guy’s using 1990s techniques in 2025.

“We can prosecute using IP address!”

Where is the hacktivism when you need it? These companies need to be gutted from the inside out.

Begin, the AI wars have.

This is a flex to potential investors to drum up interest on all the data they’re going to be able to categorize and sell.

Yeah but they’re only taking the bad parts

On March 16th, 2013, America passed the American Inventors Act, which transitioned the United States to a First-to-File system.

Also, patents shouldn’t be filable once prior art exists.

Aka Nintendo patenting game mechanics 30 years after the fact to try and sue Palworld.

Also game mechanics and UI features being tied to existing functionality (Amazon’s “one click”, Apple’s “swipe to unlock”) should not be considered novel.

This is how they manage to get users to not blink an eye when they notice their keyboard is 1.1GB because of all the tracking and analytics libraries

It’s because AI cannot think. AI cannot be clever. You cannot model creativity by absorbing the collective thoughts of all of the past. Generative AI will be nothing more than autocomplete.

I had a double NAT setup like that. Run a firewall like OPNSense as a Proxmox VM, and give it a WAN interface on the ISP router’s IP range; then run everything else on a different subnet, using OPNSense as the gateway. On the ISP router, put OPNSense’s WAN IP in the DMZ. Then, do all your hardening using OPNSense’s firewall rules. Bonus points for setting up a VLAN on a physical switch to isolate the connection.

The ISP router will send everything to OPNSense’s WAN IP, and it will basically bypass the whole double NAT situation.

If electronics fall out of favor, it will be harder to profile and track us

He literally said “American culture is different from its EU origins and therefore we call it out differently”

And then you said “nah since you’re American it’s all fake as fuck you’re just once large homogenous group”

Yeah ok and you chain-smoking bullfighters need to get your Lederhosen fitted at…wait, that doesn’t make sense? EU is different places with different cultures? No wayyyyyy 🤡

Seems to be working fora country of over a billion, just sayin’

No, I don’t think they meant the kids should have known better, but rather the adults should have known to keep them away from social media because it’s the ultimate cyber predator.

God knows what a hyper-specific ML model is going to do for them

The orange menace apparently just defunded it so we’ll see

Does Caddy use certbot to do the renewal? A long time ago DNS was a pain but now it seems like a lot of providers are supported.

Cloud is proving itself more costly and error prone by the day. I’d opt for on-prem, fuck all that noise giving someone else the power

I’m sure it logs requests somewhere and they can just check

Using a cloud is fucking stupid no matter who does it

If you are really looking for hassle-free this is it. LetsEncrypt root certificates are already trusted by most devices so when your friends come over and wanna control the media library or whatever you don’t need to install your locally hosted CA’s self-signed certificates on their phone.

Also certbot and a cron or systemd timer is all you need; people have rolled all these fancy solutions but I say keep it simple.
