Cloudflare is just your average, often free, TLS-terminating proxy everyone uses and definitely NOT a NSA operation for being able to read and control all internet traffic.

You should definitely use it, preferably with AWS or Azure (or both!) as the underlying server.

Also, pick US-East1 so you are down when everybody else is.

Article reads more like a typical redneck American trying to convince someone from another country that their gun legislation is reasonable, while proving it is not.

I don’t like it, but I just recently switched to Brave on Android coming from Firefox.

I’ve been using Firefox on Android for years, but the same problems kept bugging me. Tabs would instantly close after putting the browser in the background, effectively making it impossible to e.g. get the 2FA out of my Authenticator without restarting the login flow. Also sometimes the browser would right out refuse opening websites on fresh tabs.

This were likely problems with my OEM, but I could never get it fixed. There are some threads online claiming battery optimization, but I disabled everything possible.

So on Android, I’m stuck with Brave for now.

Funnily enough, PoW was a hot topic in academia around the late 90s / early 2000, and it’s somewhat clear that the autor of Anubis has not read much about the discussion back then.

There was a paper called “Proof of work does not work” (or similar, can’t be bothered to look it up) that argued that PoW can not work for spam protection, because you have to support both low-powered consumer devices while blocking spammers with heavy hardware. And that is very valid concern. Then there was a paper arguing that PoW can still work, as long as you scale the difficulty in such a way that a legit user (e.g. only sending one email) has a low difficulty, while a spammer (sending thousands of emails) has a high difficulty.

The idea of blocking known bad actors actually is used in email quite a lot in forms of DNS block lists (DNSBLs) such as spamhaus (this has nothing to do with PoW, but such a distributed list could be used to determine PoW difficulty).

Anubis on the other hand does nothing like that and a bot developed to pass Anubis would do so trivially.

Sorry for long text.

The burger people never go the extra mile to translate their freedom units to something reasonable, so neither should we.

No stable state with a strong currency would ever do that.

I will follow the Kwisatz Haderach without hesitation.

USK rated Balatro with a minimum age of 12 because of “elements resembling gambling”. Sounds more reasonable to me than the PEGI rating.

Money is backed by a state with the (legitimate) monopoly on the use of force. Is has a worth because you must pay your taxes in it or else.

As such, money coined by a state has an inherit value as long as the state is stable.

It moved to symfony starting with contao 4. You can now either use it as a self-managed CMS or add it to an existing symfony application to add CMS functionality. Great stuff.

Most of the community is German speaking though, keep that in mind.

I think the To the moon series hides the fact that it’s RPG Maker rather well
