Oooo close. It’s a shit algorithm that favours the company that paid the most for the spot. So people rely on paying for a good spot to get promoted on the most minor fucking chance of someone buying their shitty item. I heard someone say the average best item you search for is found 17th place.

They’re scamming the buyer and the seller and profiting off of being terrible for everyone.

There are definitely some VPN providers to worry about.

VPNs are a security tool but they don’t protect people as much as they think. They hide DNS traffic your ISP would have received, so that your ISP can’t tell everyone which cuckold or affair site you access (except you probably forgot to turn the VPN on one time or another so…)

Your ISP can still see IP addresses you connect to, they forward all your traffic. Good opsec is a nightmare. Ad blocking does more for less cost than getting a VPN will ever do (except for certain human rights circumstances but I’d wager they’re actually going to be careful).

My personal tip is use DNS over HTTPS/TLS where possible, and don’t use Cloudflare or Google. Ad an ad blocker and it’s far easier to setup and way more cost effective than VPN.

I’ve got no experience with it but at first glance it seems like a very positive direction for the project:

Collaborate, not Compete

We are proud of our community and closely interact with projects around it. If we build a platform feature that can be useful in an upstream project, we prefer to contribute it to that project, rather than keep it in the platform.

You don’t hear that often enough these days, everyone seems to be siloing information.

I’m referencing this:

Keely told GPT-4 to generate a Python script that compared – diff’ed, basically – the vulnerable and patched portions of code in the vulnerable Erlang/OPT SSH server.

“Without the diff of the patch, GPT would not have come close to being able to write a working proof-of-concept for it,” Keely told The Register.

It wrote a fuzzer before it was told to compare the diff and extrapolate the answer, implying it didn’t know how to get to a solution either.

“So if you give it the neighbourhood of the building with the open door and a photo of the doorway that’s open, then drive it to the neighbourhood when it tries to go to the mall (it’s seen a lot of open doors there), it can trip and fall right before walking through the door.”

The vulnerability is the scary part, not the exploit code. It’s like someone saying they can walk through an open door if they’re told where it is.

Counter point, set the ‘swappiness’ lower than the default 60. I’ve set mine to 30 and the system boots a lot faster. You could research and consider 10-20.

I feel the same way, I would lose self respect purchasing a ticket… idk it feels like someone took an important part of my childhood and decided to ruin it.

100% agree, that is a “totally for fun” exercise

For added funs run an SSH tarpit to fuck with the attackers, something like endlessh.
