somewhat related to @iammrpayments comment, the S in IoT stands for security. The nation's security infra is a reflection of the nation's security legislation and regulation. Aside: TheSInIoT is my DMZ's wifi password.

Apologies for the double post, but I've got an alternate perspective: Do you allow the data you've scraped to be scraped? Do you share it as freely as you desire the 'companies that want to hide it' would? Or do you cons

Disagree fairly strongly. IP addresses known to be malicious are unequal and should be treated as such. Just because the idea of net neutrality exists doesn't mean it's true. I'm sure there's a specific context for it, a

Government website data should be openly available one way or another (at least within the country, and with reasonable security provision against obvious maliciousness). If it has to be scraped then there may be other problems (which inclu

I'm kinda "fuck reddit". That's cutting the tether from a _lot_ (there's no way to overstate this) of useful information, but that's potentially one of the great things about the open AI/LLM models, is tha

I think the fact that they're laymen means that there's still a pocket of non-consensuality. Taking advantage of someone's ignorance of potential consequences is as bad as malware in my opinion. If you're outlining all t

Once the establishment has understood how to profit from anonymous currencies, then they'll be taken off the 'bad' list (no matter how many scams continue to be foisted upon the unwashed masses).

I'm a bit on the fence about this, but leaning towards the "bad luck". I'm sure there's a large swathe of nuance that I'm missing, but my simplistic view is: If they don't want to be scraped then they don&

Personally, I think you're both right, bit whatever the end result is will depend entirely on the narrative that those in power chooses as the winner. Maybe open weights models get banned, but the between-the-lines good news about that

I grew up on The Goodies. Long time ago now, but I think it shaped my impression of comedy as much as Monty Python. A more recent favorite comedy series is The Mighty Boosh, who list The Goodies as a strong influence. Vale Bill Oddie, thank

A couple of hour exercise setting up the minimal amount necessary for the travel beforehand. Then once you're at destination, you can set up everything else if you want. I don't have a lot of "everything else" anyway, so

I did a 'swim with sharks' thing at Sea World (or whatever the Queensland equivalent is) with a few human-safe species of sharks, a few rays, and a selection of other fish. One of the other fish was, as far as I recall, some kind

Welcome to 2026, you have a lot to catch up on. Maybe sit down for this.

Yeah, that's my position. If you're paranoid enough to be using GrapheneOS, why would you take it to an airport in the US of all places? I bought a second hand iPhone for overseas trips, which my daughter promptly stole because sh

So long as a some half-decent explanation of reasoning is provided. Plenty of people would say that I shouldn't block residential proxies, but I would 100% block residential proxies if I could. I think most people responsible for block

Good on them. The US trying to export it's own expertise in undermining confidence in the electoral / democratic process is one of the worst things it could do, amongst a litany of bad things it's currently doing.

Words matter. If you use words that remove meaning to describe a thing, then the thing itself will have have diminished meaning. It's the same with politicians using dehumanizing words to describe a group of people that they want those
