Man I wish Samsung wasn’t a scummy company because I like the look of their products.

I've just come to accept that they're all scummy and that your best bet is to use software and hardware from the least bad. Samsung is still better than Google and a fuck of a lot better than Apple.

Anyone got a ublock filter for @Null 's new sponsored content?

Just kiwifarms.st##.hb-sponsored is enough (try using inspect element, most of the times it's as easy as picking the element, seeing that it has a unique class and blocking it), but I kinda like seeing the random posts for now tbh. maybe it will get old eventually.
Also, tagging him on this is a sure way to (1) get him pissed off and (2) get him to change it so that this approach no longer works.
 
The amount of websites that simply do not work has gone up exponentially since this whole chatgpu thing began. Like wtf. I want to buy something from an e-shop and I just can not select a pick-up place. Enjoy bankruptcy, vibe coder child.
I bet it would work on chrome though... I will not use netscape navigator, I'd just rather visit a different site.

I don't think that's true. SEO spam really hasn't advanced that much in the past 20 years, apart from LLMs replacing pajeets for anyone bothering to make "homegrown" spam. The last time Google bothered to try fighting spam, they succeeded pretty well. It's just that they haven't bothered again in 15+ years.

And I'm willing to bet the AI companies aren't training their trillion-dollar chatbots on full-spam copies of the Internet. They probably de-spam it internally, and anyone running a search engine could do the same if they cared.

Really, even the simplest measures like blocking spam domains would still work today. DuckDuckGo just introduced the weakest, lamest version of this feature (limit of 5 domains blocked client-side) and that's already enough to bring searches on a specific topic back to usefulness.

There is a uBlacklist extension for excluding undesireable search results for most search engines
 
Update: Cloudflare done messed up something somewhere, son.

Beautiful, only websites i hate seem to be affected.
I hope this also affects their CF workers so we can have a day without DDoS attacks and exploitbots.
 
lol cloudflare shit itself and it looks like anyone using it is currently down, it really opens your eyes to how small the internet has gotten

PooJabi code not working out for ya, huh? Mr. H-1B President...
“Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers,” the company posted in a status update shortly before 7 a.m. “We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem.”

In an update about 20 minutes later, it said disruptions had begun to ease: “We are seeing services recover, but customers may continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates as we continue remediation efforts.”

Cloudflare provides tools to help websites fight off cyberattacks and load content efficiently.

Multiple online services appeared to have been affected by the issues at Cloudflare, including X (formerly Twitter) and the online game League of Legends.

Spotify, Amazon and OpenAI also experienced outages, reported DownDetector, an online outage tracker.

The outage comes nearly a month after Amazon Web Services experienced problems with its service, disrupting a wide range of online services for hours.

That was pretty Brave™ of you to ask.

Also fuck Matthew Prince. If the world was just he'd at least be sued for half of his worth over these downtimes.

Now imagine an outage of lets encrypt

At least if Let's Encrypt ends up with downtime it doesn't suddenly make every single TLS certificate to expire and they're not a chokepoint in verifying the certificates. At least according to my knowledge which may very well be wrong and gay.

Yeah Google's working on that too. You're not supposed to get an SSL certificate soon that will have a lifetime of over 60 days.

Also a lot of the browsers have gone from warning and complaining about not having an SSL certificate to attempted forced to redirect from what I've seen. It's kind of wild that you might have to pull out an old XP box to browse the web at some point.
 
This is why we need more competition in the DDoS protection industry. Essentially everyone except Google and Amazon relying on one CDN network is a bad idea. I would love to see KiwiFlare become a big competitor one day
