When the EU [1] implemented these systems they announced it years in advance, delayed the deadline due to Covid disruption, and it's still optional — the alternative is for the receiving post carrier to charge the taxes and an administ

If the scraper scrapes from a small number of IPs they're easy to block or rate-limit. Rate-limits against this behaviour are fairly easy to implement, as are limits against non-human user agents, hence the botnet with browser user ag

Many are using botnets, so it's not practical to find out who they are.

I find the same when using some foreign sites. I think the operator must have configured that France is OK, maybe neighboring countries too, the rest of the world must be checked.

I had 500,000 residential IPs make 1-4 requests each in the past couple of days. These had the same user agent (latest Safari), but previously the agent has been varied. Blocking this shit is much more complicated than any blocking necessar

Earlier today I found we'd served over a million requests to over 500,000 different IPs. All had the same user agent (current Safari), they seem to be from hacked computers as the ISPs are all over the world. The structure of the reque

That will make blocking it fairly effective, at least if 4chan's demographic is as I remember it to be (teenagers etc).

At work I have about 1PB per full rack, and that's with plain HP/Dell servers with 12 3.5" hard disks in each. Maximising storage isn't the purpose of this setup, much denser configurations are possible as others have co

I haven't read Carpe Jugulum for years, but the slow/dim/clumsy meaning of Klotz has been adopted into (American) English as "klutz".

Your comment has nothing to do with the article, or the differing approach of the Swiss (who I'm sure also have legal protection for endangered species). > There are no adults in the room saying you know what, the value to life and

Prusa's printers have a reputation for being easy to use, but cost more than the Chinese competition. Your comment is ignorant nonsense.

The cards was an aside. What you describe sounds very similar to going to a pub in Britain, a tapas bar in Spain or a beer hall in Germany. (Presumably some traditional American equivalent, but I don't know the name.) "And sometim

The Malwarebytes article[1] explains that the users downloaded (possibly automatically) the SVG files and then opened them in the default viewer, which is MS Edge. [1] https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025&

€0.25 is much less than the cost of printing and posting a letter, and presumably this service comes with proof of delivery. (There's a similar system in Denmark.)

I've found this very annoying on a recent trip to the USA. There's 3+ lanes of road. Close one of these lanes to cars and let the pedestrians use it!

In the UK I think this would be illegal. Children must be at least 13 to operate some limited machinery. Still, farmers think they know better and about one child a year dies from it.

There are at most three standard speed limits on Europe: built up areas, highways and motorways. I find this easier to remember than the constantly changing limits in the USA. In my two weeks here, I've seen every multiple of 5 between

Why would AirBnB allow this fraudster to continue listing their property? It hardly seems worth the negative publicity they now have.

I set one up at work using https://shlink.io/ As we already have a PostgreSQL database server, thecost of running this is extremely low, and we aren't concerned about GDPR (etc) issues with using a third-party site.

Roller coasters accelerate and brake much harder, which is fun for the restrained passengers but not for commuters. Signaling systems used on automated trains know the position, speed and capabilities of every train. Keeping a safe distance
