@drgeo@mamot.fr @doctormo@floss.social scrapers trying to get content for training AIs but they often don't respect site owners wishes as well as assuming everyone has the infrastructure budget of Google. Some of them don't politely crawl the site with a slow rate of requests they bombard it causing a DOS/DDOS (overwhelming the site and taking it offline)

@stux@mstdn.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu imagine getting parents to you know parent propely rather than just banning everything... What a concept.

@benlockwood one of those was at least somewhat useful Whilst not fancy, windows phone did actually work quite well on low end hardware much better than android on equivalent specs. The tile interface actually made some sense on a smartphone unlike say on a desktop pc

@frog_reborn@mstdn.social @stux@mstdn.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Well firstly young children should be supervised on the internet, and i'd install web filtering personally but the difference is that's by the parents choice not mandated by a government entity. It's also more to stop accidental exposure rather than stop someone whos delibrately looking for such content. All the current approach do is making people look into circumventions and pushes it underground which doesn't help anyone.

@doctormo@floss.social there's probably plenty of people on here that could assist setting it up if needed. I've not tried anubis myself yet as I couldn't think of anywhere it would be useful to me. That said a quick look at the docs suggests it's similar to other applications where you forward traffic through it before hitting the backend application so I'm fairly confident I could get it working if I needed to.

@bloor@bloor.tw if you wanted to start posting media heavy toots you could probably use a CDN or a caching proxy elsewhere to handle the bulk of requests for the image/video whist keeping the origin as the home server. (Only an issue if you were worried about the bandwidth demand from such things)

@benjedwards@mastodon.social I was told by a colleague dialup was one of the reasons we had issues with relays on some of the line cards. Plausible given when the things were designed the internet wasn’t a thing and I bet no one expected someone to be in a call for several hours at a time.

For now I just disabled it because it's a separate VM for games anyway (or in the case of the starrupture server a cloud VM that gets auto provisioned for it)

@megalomaniac I think it's doable on M1 and M2 but I'm not sure about newer apple silicon hardware. Not sure what you'll do about mobile I guess something like graphine OS but then certain apps like banking ones will be a dick about it

its all fun and games until an automatic update buggers up the control of all your zigbee devices and half your smarthome doesn't work.

That is one thing where home assistant is better than homey I guess (although to be fair to homey it does let you disable app auto updates)

https://github.com/gruijter/com.gruijter.zigbee2mqtt/issues/79

All devices are offline · Issue #79 · gruijter/com.gruijter.zigbee2mqtt

After updating to Version 3.2.0 it always says that all my devices are offline but the bridge itself is online. I can only get the devices online If i delet and then readd them, but they will disco...

@cartocalypse@norden.social @drgeo@mamot.fr @doctormo@floss.social Right, I believe how the likes of Anubis work is they basically make the client calculate a proof of work problem, for a normal user that means starting at page for some seconds, maybe heating up their device slightly if it's a mobile/thin and light but it's usually fairly painless. For a bot however it makes it a lot more expensive to crawl the site.
