  • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

    Jump

  • I've tried Proton mail and couldn't get comfortable with their UI. Have been on Fastmail for two years now and it's been excellent.

  • RFK Jr is telling senate Republicans that he’s actually ‘all for’ vaccines

    Jump

  • NO, HE IS NOT. The article is written from a place of ignorance, stop sharing it.

    Here is a rebuttal submitted to the author:

    In your recent article you showcase a term that Robert F. Kennedy is using to appeal for access to the US healthcare system: "pro-vaccine safety." In the article this is called a "screeching U-turn." I am writing to you today to explain that it is not.

    In his book titled "The Real Anthony Fauci" Robert F. Kennedy uses the same term "pro vaccine safety" as he claims that the hundreds of millions of MMR vaccines safely distributed over the past decades - amounting in millions of lives improved - is not enough for him to believe the vaccine to be safe and effective. In ignoring such overwhelming evidence it becomes clear that claiming to be "pro vaccine safety" is a cover for RFK's desire to dismantle one of the most significant public health improvements in American history. When articles such as yours are written indicating a change in posture, it aids RFK in rebranding his anti vaccine conspiracies to be more palatable while he yearns for control of this country-accross-the-pond's public health systems.

    keeping on top of this is a full time job!

    I guess that's why I'm interested in a tooling based solution. My selfhosting is small-fry junk, but a lot of others like me are hosting entire fedi communities or larger websites.

  • In that case I'm interested in tools to automate doing that.

  • I hadn't heard of that before, thanks for the link.

    I haven't read through the docs yet... But PoW makes me wonder what the work is and if it's cryptocurrency related.

  • In the hackernews comments for that geraspora link people discussed websites shutting down due to hosting costs, which may be attributed in part to the overly aggressive crawling. So maybe it's just a different form of DDOS than we're used to.

  • A commenter in the hackernews post has created this: https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html

    I'm interested, but it seems like an easy way for bots to exhaust your own server resources before they give up crawling.

  • Non-Cloudflare AI blocking?

  • Thank you for the detailed response. It's disheartening to consider the traffic is coming from 'real' browsers/IPs, but that actually makes a lot of sense.

    I'm coming at this from the angle of AI bots ingesting a website over and over to obsessively look for new content.

    My understanding is there are two reasons to try blocking this: to protect bandwidth from aggressive crawling, or to protect the page contents from AI ingestion. I think the former is doable, and the latter is an unwinnable task. My personal reason is because I'm an AI curmudgeon, I'd rather spend CPU resources blocking bots than serving any content to them.

  • Why I Trust Signal: My Go-To for Secure Messaging - YouTube

    Jump

  • It's an agree as in I don't really feel like arguing with another user here. I don't buy the point about metadata when Signal, a centralized service like Discord (why are we talking about Discord?), may be able to scrape it too. Or the point about anonymity when Signal is far from the right tool for that purpose too, see above "spams your contact list."

    For reliability, I'm not concerned with how much RAM Signal's servers have. What I should have highlighted is that Signal can nuke your communications on accident / on purpose / under coercion. And it's proven because they've already done it before. Mitigate that by having a backup system set up? That necessarily doubles your surface area for breaks in privacy or whatever a given user is worried about. So starting with Signal in the first place doesn't make sense to me.

  • I think that's fair, maybe I should have said efforts like Matrix.

    But I'd also view a singular commercial company's no-cost product as not being a long term bet on privacy/anonymity.
