A $5 VPS is easy to block. It's way harder to block a stock mac mini from a residential IP address

- kennywinker 1mo agoTailscale the vps into your home network, and have it use that as an exit node.
- o_m 1mo agoThe bot blocking services are more advanced than that. They will do stuff like checking how your fonts are rendered in a canvas element to determine your browser and OS. A stock mac circumvent all that by hiding in plain sight.

- frollogaston 1mo agoGuess cause it'll still do local builds and stuff, and probably do a lot more of those if the agents are spamming builds and it's something like Swift or Rust that takes a lot to compile
- kennywinker 1mo agoSo a $100 optiplex?
