Cops use stalking tool for stalking

If I knew what plex was this might bother me I guess

nixos:

Just a lil nitpick: article is by iFixit who is a Lenovo business partner. So perhaps less objective than one might hope.

Article is AI spew, but verified that linux discount is on lenovo.com:

That’s for a ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 AMD (16″).

nixos, same as the last 10 years. more packages than ever on it, and I’m better at wrangling nix stuff now for my own packages. Besides my personal machines, I also use it to admin several servers for work. All the config for all the machines goes into git and I can see exactly what changed and when, configuration-wise.

DSA == the EU Digital Services Act, not Democratic Socialists of America or etc.

I enjoy my T480 I got off craigs for 120$. Cheap but awesome.

terminal only

so how would cloudflare tell the difference between the good ‘stripped down’ queries and the bad? still not hearing how that is supposed to work. if there’s no way to tell the difference, the baby will be thrown out with the bathwater, and I can’t blame them.

I don’t see how categorically blocking non-human traffic is irrational given the current environment of AI scanning. And what’s rational about demanding cloudflare distinguish between the ‘good guy’ AI and ‘bad guy’ AI without proposing any methodology for doing so.

LOL “human sourced traffic” oh the tragedy. I for one am rooting for perplexity to go out of business forever.

Yes your “leave the internet any time you want” strawman is not a good argument.

If allowing perplexity while blocking the bad guys is so easy why not find a service that does that for you?

So you’re a cloudflare customer and you wish they would let the perplexity traffic multiplier through to your website? You can leave cloudflare any time you want.

So sad for them. Try not living in a war zone?

If a neighborhood is beset by roving bands of thieves, sooner or later strangers will be greeted by a shotgun rather than an invitation to tea, regardless of their intentions. Them’s the breaks. Bots are going to take a hit now and their operators are just going to have to deal with it. Sucks when people don’t play nice, but this is what you get.

Ha, anyone DOSing them with constant compute requests? I read an article where a 200$ a month user was using tens of thousands of dollars of compute.

maybe search for system76 too. I found one on my local craigslist.

loving my recently acquired T480. not the fastest by any means, but solid and great keyboard. plus non-soldered memory allows for upgrades. got mine off craigslist for 120, a steal.

I’ve been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.
