Italy and Spain are the bad actors here. Not cloudflare.

Rampant bot traffic and scrapers are the real cancer. Until that goes away everyone is going to need cloudflare or some other bot firewall service.

Spain is mandating their ISPs block cloudflare to stop people from illegally streaming soccer games. Cloudflare isn't the one doing the blocking.

Those things were made illegal by Congress, not by a president's executive order, which is what this thread is about.

> all of this falls apart if you use Mullvad The only thing that falls apart is the IP address identification, which is only a very small signal for identifying an internet user. X/Twitter undoubtedly has more identity information

> the government banning it from being released by executive order. There's no legal mechanism for the president or the government at all to do that.

How would that work? Rust "crates" are just a compilation unit that gets linked into the resulting binary.

Apple or Google know what the cryptographic signature of the boot should be. They provide the keys. It's how they know that "factory reset" does not include covert code installed by the factory. That's what we're

I'm sure this guy would like to actually keep using Claude though instead of getting permanently banned.

The public keys are provided by the developer. Google, or Apple, for example. It's how they know that nothing was tampered with before it left the factory.

I happen to like knowing that my mobile device did not have a ring 0 backdoor installed before it left the factory in Asia. SecureBoot gives me that confidence.

web dev is a sewer All my projects are server rendered with jinja/minijinja, bootstrap, jQuery, and htmx when I need a little bit of SPA behavior on forms. No builds, just static <script src= tags. Very fast and easy. I'll neve

My Claude runs as a limited user account, which I invoke using sudo. Claude can run whatever commands it wants and the only harm it can do is nuke its own home directory. That's the whole point.

People seem to come up with all manner of complicated setups with virtual machines or docker or whatever. All you need is a separate limited user account on your computer. Multi-user Unix-y systems were designed for this kind of thing for d

When did the US "make up" the spraying of bullets at protesters in Tehran? 5,000+ dead people in the streets.

They also got to keep their new Ayatollah and continue with their religious government. An escalation of the war would have certainly ended with a complete regime change. Which would have been very expensive in life (Iranians) and money (

Maybe it's all just anecdotal then. Everyone is having different experiences. Maybe we're being A/B tested.

I have found that Claude Opus 4.6 is a better reviewer than it is an implementer. I switch off between Claude/Opus and Codex/GPT-5.4 doing reviews and implementations, and invariably Codex ends up having to do multiple rounds of

Oh yeah definitely. Also your own POS system probably wont even work unless it's hard-wired.

No need to ban phones, just coat the walls in magnetic paint and install faraday cages on the windows. You will get "No bars". (and also maybe no customers and a safety code violation?)
