  • Captcha.

    It does all Anubis does. If a scrapper wants to solve it automatically it's computer intensive, they have to run AI inference, but for the user it's just a little time consuming.

    With captchas you don't run aggressive software unauthorized on anyone's computer.

    Solution did exist. But Anubis is "trendy" and they are masters in PR within some specific circles of people who always wants the lastest most trendiest thing.

    But good old captcha would achieve the same result as Anubis, in a more sustainable way.

    Or at least give user an option of running or not running the challenge and leave the page. And make clear for the user that their hardware is going to run an intensive task. It really feels very aggressive to have a webpage to run basically a cryptominer unauthorized in your computer. And for me having a cargirl as a mascot does not forgive the rudeness of it.

  • It may just be generational changes. I do not socialize same as my parents, and they do not socialize same as their parents.

  • I had used linux mint as my default OS for years, which is said to be the "easiest distro". Still there was a ton of maintenance. Every week one thing or the other didn't work properly.

    Even a debian server I own, which is completely barebones, without even a graphic interface. Last week I had to manually fix the sources file because trixie update messed it up. A couple of months ago I have a very bad issue with the root partition filling up of old kernel images because I didn't run autoremove frequen enough.

    So you are not alone. It does feel like owning a boat.

  • Most people social life didn't really change during the pandemic, thus the pandemic.

    I remember my neighbors, whose mother was a cancer patient, would still had family meetups for diner all weeks.

  • Do you feel sad for people born today?

    Jump

  • I think we are in for a very hard 30-50 years politically and economically speaking.

    Current young people are already poorer than their parents, and that's not getting solved. Next generation will be poorer and we will have to factor in a lot of tensions and unsolved problems that I think will derive in violence, a lot of violence. And very heavy societal collapses.

    Maybe I'm dramatic, but the other day I thought that's not unlikely that a "western" country will experience a famine in the next 50 years. Many don't produce enough food for themselves by far, the moment they don't have the money or the possibility to buy it from other countries... Starvation it is. And with a growing population getting near the 10 billion humans, a few years of globally bad crops could devastate humankind.

    So, yep, I think kids today are in for really hard times.

  • Why the hell don't you limit the CPU usage of that service?

    For any service that could hog resources so bad that they can block the entire system the normal thing to do is to limit their max resource usage. This is trivial to do using containers. I do it constantly for leaky software.

  • I still think captchas are a better solution.

    In order to surpass them they have to run AI inference which is also comes with compute costs. But for legitimate users you don't run unauthorized intensive tasks on their hardware.

  • It's working because it's not very used. It's sort of a "pirate seagull" theory. As long a few people use it it works. Because scrappers don't really count on Anubis so they don't implement systems to surpass it.

    If it were to become more common it would be really easy to implement systems that would defeat the purpose.

    As of right now sites are ok because scrappers just send https requests and expect a full response. If someone wants to bypass Anubis protection they would need to take into account that they will receive a cryptographic challenge and have to solve it.

    The thing is that cryptographic challenges can be very optimized. They are designed to run in a very inefficient environment as it is a browser. But if someone would take the challenge and solve it in a better environment using CUDA or something like that it would take a fraction of the energy defeating the purpose of "being so costly that it's not worth scrapping".

    At this point it's only a matter of time that we start seeing scrappers like that. Specially if more and more sites start using Anubis.

  • Sometimes I think. Imagine if a company like google or facebook would implement something like anubis. And suddenly most people's browsers would start solving cpu intensive constant cryptographic challenges. People would be outraged by the wasted energy. But somehow "cool small company" does it and it's fine.

    I do not think anubis system is sustainable for all the people to use it, it's just too wasteful energy wise.

  • Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor

    Jump

  • So increase capital gain tax. And run a net worth tax.

    Jump

  • Taxed from 19% to 21% depending on quantity.

    The reality is that not enough people have a significant amount of capital gains. My country only have 30 people with over a billion euro. For contrast USA have 900. I think here only one million people have over one million euros in total net worth.

    The truth is that it's not rational to pretend that society get sustained only taxing capital gains, even if they were taxed 100%.

    I'm all for augmenting capital tax, mostly because I don't think there should be billionaires at all. But I do not think their disappear would make my taxes significantly lower. At the end of the day they are very few. If we want the current amount government expending most people, workers, will have to keep paying a ton of taxes, even if we were to expropiate and execute all the billionaires.

  • Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor

    Jump

  • Because it's the greater way for the government to get money.

    I'll give my country example. 2023.

    State tax income was 270.000 million euros.

    Out of those 120.000 million were labor income tax.

    Business tax was 35.000 million

    Sales tax were 80.000 million.

    The rest were other taxes.

    Work is easy to tax, and more fair.

    Sale tax is 21% to everyone. Labor tax depends on your income. The more your income the more you pay, so it's proportional.

    Removing all labor tax for sale tax would be highly unfair to people with low income.

    I'm more on the opposite route. Sale tax should be lower and income tax higher.

  • Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server?

    Jump

  • I use AIO approach with jellyfin but I'm thinking about changing it.

    I like how jellyfin handles music, but the search feature is unusable with so many files.

    Each time I search for a movie it search through thousands of music files and music people. And jellyfin search feature is bad as it is. I'm waiting for them to fix ot but it doesn't seem like it.

    So maybe taking music out would make that feature usable again.

    Luckily being sold on TikTok they will be so crappy that they won't even be able to property track anyone.
