Yes, It’s a sign of people that do not think of others and that bothers me a lot.

I think 5 million is ok number as a top. As long as it has been earned working.

Luckily, The Simpsons monorail episode had me covered, I saw what it was from the beginning.

At 15 I was fantasizing with people my own gender.

Somehow until 25 or something I wouldn’t realize I was bi.

If you are celebrating with your hated ones I sent you extra love.

You could try tell what paid tools are limiting you and see if people can help you find free open source tools to substitute them.

I do my great deal of creative work and it’s all done in free open source tools.

Who ask for delivery from a store that’s 10 minutes walking?

More like one hour walking, any food would be long cold before I come home. And I don’t own a car. The delivery comes usually by motorcycle in something like 5 minutes in an specialized bag that keeps warm.

It’s a great way to play games in something like sn emulation box. I just installed it yesterday on my emuelec station.

The one that allows me to do the smallest possible human iteration.

You only die when the last person forgets your name. So I’m going to be remembered forever, all books in history should have a dedicated page about me.

I thought this was a movie thing. Don’t you have breath analyzers for real?

We don’t know what causes gravity, or how it works, either. But you can measure it, define it, and even create a law with a very precise approximation of what would happen when gravity is involved.

I don’t think LLMs will create intelligence, but I don’t think we need to solve everything about human intelligence before having machine intelligence.

The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.

Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.

And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.

You are right. For most self-hosting usecases anubis is not only irrelevant, but it actually works against you. False sense of security and making your devices do extra work for nothing.

Anubis is though for public facing services that may get ddos or AI scrapped by some not targeted bot (for a target bot it’s trivial to get over Anubis in order to scrap).

And it’s never a substitute of crowdsec or fail2ban. Getting an Anubis token it’s just a matter of executing the PoW challenge. You still need a way to detect and ban malicious attacks.

I don’t think you have a usecase for Anubis.

Anubis is mainly aimed against bad AI scrappers and some ddos mitigation if you have a heavy service.

You are getting hit exactly the same, anubis doesn’t put up a block list or anything. It just put itself in front of the service. The load on your server and the risk you take it’s very similar anubis or not anubis here. Most bots are not AI scrappers they are just proving. So the hit on your server is the same.

What you want is to properly set up fail2ban or, even better, crowdsec. That would actually block and ban bots that try to prove your server.

If you are just self-hosting with Anubis the only thing you are doing is deriving the log noise towards Anubis logs and making your devices do a PoW every once in a while when you want to use your services.

Being honest I don’t know what you are self hosting. But at least it’s something that’s going to get ddos or AI scrapped, there’s not much point with Anubis.

Also Anubis is not a substitute for fail2ban or crowdsec. You need something to detect and ban brute force attacks. If not the attacker would only need to execute the anubis challenge get the token for the week and then they are free to attack your services as they like.

It’s possible with certificates and 2fa issued by a government, which already have all your data, that would only verify that you are over 18.

We already have that in Spain, sort of. We have a government app where you have a digital id stored and you can make it create a verify qr that only shows if the user is over 18 or under 18, no more data. The qr only last 5 minutes active.

It is necessary? Not for internet access. That’s a duty of the one paying for internet in the household, not the government. If they have underage kids under their responsibility it’s their duty to make sure that they get good education about what to see and what not and restrict access if needed. Having the government to universally interfere everyone it’s just plain bad.

I remember downloading metal gear online updates over p2p and thinking “world is changing”. That was the last popular service I saw to use that technology over central server direct download.

My “important” emails work on a white list basis. So every sender not approved by me goes to spam. When I’m waiting for an email I’ll check the spam folder for it and white list the sender.

American tourists are kind of fun in my experience. I’ve never had a bad experience with one, usually very friendly and respectful in comparison.

I think it’s an age thing.

As people get older they tend to distance from friends and focus more on partner and children.
