Yes, it's partially based on the Snapchat AI one. I don't really know that much about optimizing prompts so I started there, removed the stuff that didn't apply and added a few things of my own. There is probably a lot of r

I use what https://www.pingproxies.com/ calls ISP Proxies, which I think is just them reselling a /22 they got from Charter. Definitely aren't botnet proxies because they have 100% uptime. Duly noted about VPNs

Well the current implementation only comments on posts that already have a lot of upvotes so it's unlikely that most of the posts are read by humans. As far as I can tell there's no clear path to making any money with it short of

"Experiment" was probably poor word choice, I mostly just want to see if anybody notices them or if they get kicked out of subreddits by mods. So far none have. I saw a bunch of people on HN say that AI was going to create this

I'm doing an experiment with AI posting on Reddit accounts to see if they would get banned. I bought 100 few-week-old accounts from some sketchy site for $0.04/each, used residential proxies I was using for another project, and h

Welcome to the world of "cracked RDP"! Various internet lowlives get a big list of bruteforced RDP IPs/credentials then sell them in bulk: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/over-85-000-h

Exactly right and saddening as well. Their growth strategy is clearly working because based on MAU graphs it seems like most Reddit users joined in the past 2-3 years which is when all this stuff started. I wouldn't be surprised if t

KickAssTorrents made millions of dollars a year in advertising revenue. I doubt their decision to start Rarbg was charitable or even ideologically driven. They probably just want out now. Lower margins may have been a part of that.

Why are there always super obnoxious scrapers out there? It doesn't even make sense from the scrapers perspective because it raises the chance of being blocked and having annoying anti bot measures introduced. It especially makes no

Yes, but the term is n-day (not 0-day) and is increasingly a problem especially in IOT devices: https://www.trendmicro.com/zh_hk/ciso/21/k/n-day-exploit-pro...

Is it possible to obtain phones like the Iridium 9575A or Sectera models as a non-government user? Seems like the non-secured versions are usually available but if encryption isn't really export controlled anymore I don't see why

It would be a real shame if libreddit were to log the requests made by the Android app and try to replicate them, using this code to sign the "x-hmac-signed-body" and "x-hmac-signed-result" headers in the https:/&#

This is so cool! I had a similar (more related to transcript fulltext search though) idea but decided to work on something else after realizing that Youtube has no video sitemap so I'd have to scrape it in a pretty ad-hoc annoying way

I'm not saying that's unreasonable, but the current budget is more than twice that and continues to grow at a very fast rate. The budget trajectory may even be sustainable from a revenue perspective, I'm just saying it might

2016 Wikimedia Foundation Budget: $69,136,758 2022 Wikimedia Foundation Budget: $145,970,915 I love Wikipedia but I don't see how this cost explosion can evenly be remotely justified. What value have they added in that time? A new ed

I think the author is a little cynical. As someone with a handful of small open source projects, I know exactly what he is talking about but I wouldn't say it's driven by narcissism. It's mostly just people new to programmi

But I wanna use xbindkeys and not have to have everything integrated in the compositor. What do I gain when desktop Linux is poorly sandboxed and thus the theoretical security benefits of Wayland are trivially circumvented anyways?

I don't have any evidence but I think it's probably done on purpose to make amateur automated free ChatGPT use more annoying.

Scraping services that require phone verified accounts but reject VOIP numbers. Someone (in house or a service like smspva) operating SIM farm would be required in order to do this economically.

Is that supposed to always be bad? Unless the pages are used to promote some kind of fraud I don't think that's illegal. It's "dual use" like any other kind of anonymity technology. Cloudflare says 90% of Tor traf

Sorry, I misread your previous comment. The site doesn’t advertise itself as a way to make money, its just incidental to how some people make money. Is scraping a malicious purpose? Maybe in some cases. Either way I don’t see why this u

The people making money from it wouldn’t exist without people buying the verification codes. If you Google smspva or services like it and read forum posts about it the majority of discussion is about people using it to automate account reg
