It’s worth mentioning that this guy and the “Uber driver” works in the same company

Cloudflare takes a neutral response in general but are not resistant to law enforcement demands.

What you can do is to create a cloudflare account on Tor, buy a privacy-focused VPN that supports port forwarding, connect your server to the VPN and point the DNS record to the VPN ip address. And then create a port rewrite rule in cloudflare settings (because port forwarding supported VPNs rarely support lower than 1024 ports). Atleast in this case, law enforcement notices won’t be forwarded to your ISP… still not bulletproof, but good enough for most stuff if you have concerns.

Is it not possible to set up https for just an ip address with no domain?

Truee, didn’t see that. But generally just wanted to add to the vibe of these laptop hosters

And the lid is not open because of preventing it sleeping, but rather to cool it down

Lol the amount of bullying this guy is getting lately. I’ve seen similar spins and bends that looks somewhat legit, making people believe he suck at coding

I used to be like this too. I thought it would be too mainstream to have a website rather than a natively compiled application running on the computer…

And then my friend in high school started this thing on his laptop… a website… it was server side rendered… pretty satisfying… Then it took off…

I think the web can be nice with the right mix. I’m personally not too fan of these pages that are just white if you don’t turn on JavaScript. It’s just a feeling, nothing special. From a business perspective it makes sense, to throw all the rendering to the devices to save cost.

I have a dumb question… what is preventing the crawlers from just eating the shit and just burn though the energy to get through the computational task?

I wonder if any colorblind people completely didn’t understand this meme

Having 2 loads gives the illusion that it’s fast, aka. not waiting staring at something not doing anything for too long.

From a business perspective, isn’t it best to just yeet most stuff to the front end to deal with?

So many problems with this. I assume they’re thinking of using an LLM since it would need to read language. It would need to adapt to our ever-moving Internet culture, knowing what intent is meant.

How well does it know irony? Slang? Taboo topics? Fresh new gen-z TikTok language?

“He should step on lego… in a video game…”, no way it will work at this early stage of AI.

I think AI could be useful to help actual human moderators to THEN determine if the activity is bad or not. But that’s only doing some of the work.

I think manual reports from the users goes a long way on its own.

I love new ideas and optimism, but only your last point is the uniqueness… and it’s in parentheses??

Gotta step up the marketing game here

An Nvidia truck??

That much be such a jackpot to rob

Brrrrr!!

Yep, that looks like it!

Reminds me of a project i stumbled upon the other day using various services like Google drive, Dropbox, cloudflare, discord for simultaneous remote storage. The goal was to use whatever service that has data to upload to, to store content there as a Filesystem.

I only remember discord being one of the weird ones where they would use base512 (or higher, I couldn’t find the library) to encode the data. The thing with discord, is that you’re limited by characters, and so the best way to store data in a compact way is to take advantage of whatever characters that are supported

Doesn’t sound too bad compared to what used to be allowed

They don’t offer .se domains anymore for this reason. IONOS looks good, thanks for that info.

Their trust pilot page is a shitshow, but I’ve had few problems in the 7 years I have used them. I have 9 domains registered, one of which is not possible to get back since I’m required to provide proof that I live in Sweden (.se domain). Wasn’t the case when I initially bought it in 2018.
