Introducing Proof-of-Work Defense for Onion Services | The Tor Project
  • Either that or charging a micro transaction for loading the page. But yeah the goal is to make it cost a small amount that is insignificant to a regular user but adds up to a huge amount at the scale of a spam farm. And it's also the same rationale behind hashing passwords with multiple rounds. It adds a tiny lag when you log in correctly but adds an insane amount of work if you're checking every phrase in a password cracking dictionary using an offline attack because it adds up. (In the online scenario you just block them after a few attempts)

  • Had to read it 3 times to make sure
  • They seem to just keep getting better and better. When I scratched the lens on my index due to my own carelessness they replaced the headset for free. It's been 5 years since I bought it and the controller strap broke last week and they sent me a free replacement. Any other company and I would have expected my only option to be buying a new controller.

  • Those of you who get complemented on their scent, what products do you use?
  • Amika soulfood nourishing mask as a conditioner, the orange tub. I always get compliments. Before that it was herbal essences color me happy shampoo and conditioner, that also got tons of complements. I don't even have dyed hair which it's for, I just like the scent.

  • Trump and Vance face criminal charges over Springfield hoax
  • It's from the Onion! The artist is Ward Sutton but he's drawing the comics from the point of view of a character named "Kelly" who is a parody of an old right wing guy (according to the Internet) who hates political correctness, hence the exaggerated scenarios in the comics. The "haha yes" sickos guy (who I guess sometimes shows up in a thought bubble) usually feels like a parody of how the right views various left wing policies in that the comic overplays / exaggerates the disastrous effects of said policies (to make fun of how absurd those fears are) while the "leftist sickos" cheer on the disastrous results.

    The comics basically make fun of how extremely the right views progressive policy and the sickos guy is kind of pointing out how absurd it is to view someone as bad faith (ie a sicko knowingly cheering on the disastrous effects of a progressive policy) who supports something as simple as green energy, drug legalization, or bike lanes. It's fun to use as a reaction image to anything progressive happening because obviously wanting something like for example affordable healthcare obviously doesn't make you a sicko. (Or in this case wanting a terrible person to actually face actual legal consequences for the harm they've done)

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • Things around me aren't that far per se, but you have to cross a 45mph road (where people regularly drive 55-60 because it's designed like a highway) along several sections of unconnected sidewalk if you want to get there without a car. The sidewalks are 4ft wide at most and have no separation from the car lanes so you have to walk with cars whizzing by just a couple feet from you. There's also no shade.

    For reference - it takes 5 minutes to drive to the nearest grocery store 1 mile away, but walking it's 31 minutes with the unpleasant conditions I mentioned. So I've never walked there. I could bike and it would take 10 minutes, but biking along cars at 50mph doesn't sound fun. I also live on a bike path, but it doesn't go to the nearest grocery store so the nearest one along the bike path would take the same amount of time as if I walked to the nearest one (25 minutes). That one is 3.5 miles (11min) by car or a 1hr walk.

  • WPA3 upgrade module using a small SBC?
  • Seems doable - my first thought would be to use an esp c6 that supports WiFi 6 and wpa3, and im sure I've seen some people bit bang fast ethernet from a microcontroller and bridge that to the WiFi.

    My main problem is that I have wpa2 iot devices that don't have Ethernet ports, so they won't connect to my ssid which has 6ghz enabled and thus is forced by my router manufacturer to be in wpa3 only mode.

  • Huge Half-Life discovery found from a decades-old CD sitting in a storage unit
  • Well, apparently lots of people here who are familiar with ripping and burning CDs found it confusing - so I don't think it's dumb to point out the confusing wording, especially to clarify for those who don't know that burning means writing and ripping means reading. I at least initially recoiled in horror at the thought of burning data onto the rare find.

  • Huge Half-Life discovery found from a decades-old CD sitting in a storage unit
  • The least they could do is say that they burned a copy/blank or ripped the original instead of mixing it up and saying that the original was burned. It makes it sound like they were writing to the original.

  • Stolen from 196
  • Fuckk I'm not autistic to my knowledge but I feel this so much in online interactions especially and it's so confusing. I'm usually trying to contribute information or just have a conversation and people often think I'm trying to argue (I guess because presenting new information automatically = dunking or being argumentative somehow) and I've ended up just not wanting to interact much or I preemptively try to phrase things as questions (like "isn't x" or "I thought y") and it's so exhausting trying to do that all the time and it makes me want to crawl in a hole and not interact with anybody.

  • Some people claim taping your mouth shut helps you sleep better—but what are the risks?
  • https://archive.ph/20240913210359/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/mouth-tape-sleeping-hygiene-hacks-social-media

    Potential health problems of mouth breathing or taping to combat mouth breathing? From my reading it sounds like if you have any kind of respiratory condition - asthma, sleep apnea, even allergies then it could be risky.

    (I can rarely get congested to the point of not being able to get enough air through my nose in the middle of the night without warning so I feel like I could suffocate if I tried this, plus most nights I'm able to nose breathe most of the time anyway)

  • Piracy advice
  • Hah I wish we could ignore them. It seems to just vary from ISP to ISP in the US but our small town ISP turns off your connection and puts you behind a captive portal forcing you to click through and accept what you did wrong before your connection is turned back on.

  • Plex; Introducing Plex Photos Beta
  • My main complaint is when it decides to just stop casting to Chromecast in the middle of episodes randomly - then I have to open the app, reconnect, and resume.

    Also I find the Chromecast controls stop responding frequently making it so I can't pause what I'm watching - it'll like disconnect from the Chromecast but keep playing.

    My partner also complains about lots of bugs on the iOS app.
