Oooo close. It’s a shit algorithm that favours the company that paid the most for the spot. So people rely on paying for a good spot to get promoted on the most minor fucking chance of someone buying their shitty item. I heard someone say the average best item you search for is found 17th place.

They’re scamming the buyer and the seller and profiting off of being terrible for everyone.

There are definitely some VPN providers to worry about.

VPNs are a security tool but they don’t protect people as much as they think. They hide DNS traffic your ISP would have received, so that your ISP can’t tell everyone which cuckold or affair site you access (except you probably forgot to turn the VPN on one time or another so…)

Your ISP can still see IP addresses you connect to, they forward all your traffic. Good opsec is a nightmare. Ad blocking does more for less cost than getting a VPN will ever do (except for certain human rights circumstances but I’d wager they’re actually going to be careful).

My personal tip is use DNS over HTTPS/TLS where possible, and don’t use Cloudflare or Google. Ad an ad blocker and it’s far easier to setup and way more cost effective than VPN.

When Greeks invented the term they stipulated only free men were able to vote. So depending on how you want to look at it, any country that allows free men to vote is a democracy. We’ve (modern people) just updated the terms of service to suit our current version of morality. We might decide our thinking outdated and misguided in the next 250 years and change things again. Hell we might even give trans people, women and people of colour equal rights to white men, you know, like legal protections and such. We might not try to suppress their votes… idk has anything actually changed since 1964 or did Americans just visit the moon?

Sounds like it’s the platforms that are the issue, not the kids. Would you believe that maybe the corporations havent been acting with ours or our children’s best interests at heart and should, shock horror, be forced into doing that? It’s almost like designing social media to be an ad casino shouldn’t have been allowed.

I’ve got no experience with it but at first glance it seems like a very positive direction for the project:

Collaborate, not Compete

We are proud of our community and closely interact with projects around it. If we build a platform feature that can be useful in an upstream project, we prefer to contribute it to that project, rather than keep it in the platform.

You don’t hear that often enough these days, everyone seems to be siloing information.

I’m referencing this:

Keely told GPT-4 to generate a Python script that compared – diff’ed, basically – the vulnerable and patched portions of code in the vulnerable Erlang/OPT SSH server.

“Without the diff of the patch, GPT would not have come close to being able to write a working proof-of-concept for it,” Keely told The Register.

It wrote a fuzzer before it was told to compare the diff and extrapolate the answer, implying it didn’t know how to get to a solution either.

“So if you give it the neighbourhood of the building with the open door and a photo of the doorway that’s open, then drive it to the neighbourhood when it tries to go to the mall (it’s seen a lot of open doors there), it can trip and fall right before walking through the door.”

The vulnerability is the scary part, not the exploit code. It’s like someone saying they can walk through an open door if they’re told where it is.

Parma sounds like a phrase uttered by the absolutely deranged. Even the children here know it’s parmy

Listen. Strange children wading in ponds discovering swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

That’s super informative, thank you.

I lost the game

Steve Hughes did a pretty good bit on this - “Go play with your girly tits you Gaylord, I’m going to fuck a man.”

Counter point, set the ‘swappiness’ lower than the default 60. I’ve set mine to 30 and the system boots a lot faster. You could research and consider 10-20.

I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis

I feel the same way, I would lose self respect purchasing a ticket… idk it feels like someone took an important part of my childhood and decided to ruin it.

100% agree, that is a “totally for fun” exercise

For added funs run an SSH tarpit to fuck with the attackers, something like endlessh.

Yeah, some wordpress themes have vulnerable bits that allow attackers to inject cross site scripting attacks into the page via various methods. Some have pivoted to using wordpress plugins which is a newer method I don’t entirely understand yet.

Oooo I’m researching this. We call some of them click fix and others clearfake but theyre all fake captcha. Its either from vulnerable wordpress themes or plugins so update ya sites for the love of Torvalds.

They’re basically a method for infostealers to get downloaded onto the device. They’re kinda nasty and some lead to ransomware if youre really unlucky. The usual payload is intended to leach off an individual and steal passwords, crypto addresses, etc, but as soon as they find out you’re an organisation computer, they use your machine for initial access and potential further compromise.

Most people don’t run these but I’ve seen at least 3 people who have and tbh usually antivirus stops the 2nd stage payload. So make sure Defender antivirus is turned on, and maybe consider blocking newly registered domains using ad block if you are more tech savvy. Remind your grandparents and young siblings to never do anything with Win+R or disable it on their pc if you know how. Infostealers are nasty and having one on the family pc will hurt every member of the family.

From my limited understanding, Lincoln was somewhat committed to ending slavery but wasn’t even that concerned with it, like it wasn’t part of his first 100 days plan or anything. However, his election was interpreted by the south as a full on attack against their rights (to keep slaves) so they attempted to secede.

So the north gave a shit but understood the need to end slavery, they just planned to do it in like a 5-10 year plan. Meanwhile the slavers jumped the gun, shot themselves in both feet and made it the most pressing issue they could which led to the end of slavery and the damaged the economies of several states.
