They injected crypto donate buttons below, for example, tweets to make them look like twitter had a donate option. The sites were sent over https, it was mitm

> Person with obvious head injury and slurring speech wants to go home instead of the hospital? Sure. When I was a teenager working in a taxi office some guy came in slurring and covered in blood. I phoned him an ambulance and after 15 m

Considering the question was "has that every happened?" regarding the police getting a report and you having to explain the proxy to them, I guess you mean the answer is yes and your attitude is misplaced?

I tried doing this and the video stutter on a raspberry pi made it too annoying. Probably better off using an N100

It's a possibility. I don't know about CSAM but I know someone who was arrested for death threats sent to a politician after running a tor exit node. Eventually not charged, but he lost all his computing equipment for a couple of

Probably not. But do you really want the hassle of explaining the proxy to the police when they get a report of CSAM content uploaded from your IP?

Also if the domain responds on the bare IP or there's nothing else they've seen on that IP it's a fair assumption. This is without even wondering if their router sends telemetry

Ironic that I'd need something like that to stop getting blocked from a residential IP

Do they still mitm sites to put their brave crypto donation buttons on, so you think a content creator is getting the money?

This was a knee jerk response to the first paragraph. They weren't talking about a general crawler, but a subset of Wikipedia, stack overflow, programming docs and github. You can download archives of all of those except github, and gi

I have the same with the "if only there was a ..." sarcastic rebuttals. They belong 15 years ago and even then they were tiresome

> Pangram should be paying HNers for how often we pitch needing to use their product by name I kind of assumed it is, given how it suddenly seemed to start getting namedropped in multiple comment threads. And it's often in response

Interestingly I always use swapfiles and this page made me realise there can be a performance impact if the filesystem is old - the lkml link says as long as the swap file isn't fragmented there's no impact

I'm sure this was a very interesting article but after 7 paragraphs telling me that bread had changed in this one weird way, but not yet telling me how, it started feeling like marketing and I couldn't read more. I guess I'll

How do you handle updates this way? Do you mount the iso, update and keep it as an iso? Are all of the virtual machines mostly read only?

I'm well past the point of opening clickbait from anthropic or openai. Yeah we get it everyone else should be regulated

I got way too annoyed at this before realising it was an optional game and I could just close the tab

by dwedge 18d ago
Sure but it's not the government calling for regulation, it's Mistral. At times they seem like a government mouthpiece to check the waters, which I could accept if their models were at least any good

They are regulationmaxxing instead of benchmaxxing, that's my problem with them.

I think it feels that way because there's much more waiting and context switching, which is tiring

I can't remember which decade he's talking about or verify his claims, but in Shoe Dog the creator of Nike talks about how running for exercise was viewed as very weird in the last century, and he implies that Adidas pretty much

I read it more as them disagreeing with at what point it's "intent" - is it bad to give yourself the option to record all customers without consent or does it only become bad once they actually turn it on (remotely) and start

Projectors are probably the only remaining exception here, and obviously don't work in all use cases.

I agree with your sentiment but unless the person you replied to edited their comment it seems misguided. They mostly just said they didn't agree with you, there was no outrage or one upping, and genuine discussions should be encourage

No I disagree here. I would argue that a TV doing this 30 years ago would find themselves in court, whereas now they are all skirting the edge of the law and we accept it because that frog has been boiling for decades. The idea that logging

Sure, they exist, but online they are simulatenously unable to apply any logic and then surprisingly coherent and intelligent in the next reply.
