I can confirm I have already some experience with the fact of VPN usage being flagged as a high change of automated traffic (except it was TOR, which is pretty much identical in this context).

Discord put me a wealth of captcha, Wikipedia refused edition of pages (even with my account. Which IMO looks like an oversight). And many pages just had captchas even when not trying to log-in.

Well, I'm not that pessimist, at least not on those 2 points. I hardly see how CSP would prevent addon to do their stuff, as CSP is protection against cross site attacks, and extension aren't sites (thought I actually remember having an issue like that once making an extension, but correcting the extensio's permissions solved it).

And DRMs only apply on the video stream. It won't protect the webpage or the javascript. Plus there are content on youtube that they are contractually required to not put behind DRMs.

What I'm worried youtube will do is simply that their server will refuse to send the video until a certain time after the user load the page, thid time corresponding to a bit less than the time the user would wait by playing ads.

It won't force the user to watch ads. But it'll deincensitive it by a certain amount.

This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).

Next year (1st january 2024), it'll be in the US (but just the first version from Steamboat Willie and The Gallopin' Gaucho)

Ariane 6 service start got late. Not Ariane 5 decommisionning. So they end with no Ariane launcher for some time.

FYI, arm can already handle most Open Source Software with no problem as far compiling them is concerned. In particular, Qt and GTK does work, and cross compiling too is very easy. Not that it's necessary anyway (aside of probably faster compilation unless you have really good ARM CPU). In particular, QEMU have qemu-user (if you didn't know), which basically Rosetta for Linux, but with a good performance hit when testing cross-compiled code.

Edit: In my opinion, what will switch the faster to a non-x86 on a large scale (for computers, not counting phones, tablet and microcontroller, not using them anyway) are servers. A lot of them use standard open source software, so switching might be pretty easy if the package manager abstract it (like... All of those I know).

I mean, certain cloud provider are starting to offer renting such servers (and not speaking of all those hacker who host server on raspi (and then those who use standard linux on mobile phone too))

Well... Actually, monopoly is used in French for things that isn’t stricly speaking the sole actor (sorry). There are concurrence (mostly in the form of AMD and Intel in the PC DGPU market, and others in phone/mobile GPUs).

And for mobile operating system, they would count as a duopoly. Aside of IOS and Android, there isn’t much (thought Android is a bit special by the fact it can be reused by other vendors without the google-specific parts).

Actually, maybe the DGPU market could be seen as a triopoly (not much choice beside Intel, AMD and NVidia).

(and if we don’t use the term of monopoly, we can still say for sure they are the main provider of DGPU, which is very likely to cause competition issue)

Actually, it’s specific to libwebp, but many things that decode webp just use this library (for example, decoding webp with the "image" rust crates doesn’t use libwebp. It does use it for encoding thought).

I often use Tribler for torrents. It’s a TOR-like system specialized into torrent, and does work well with any torrents. (I’ll put a warning that the system might not be totally safe against targetted attack, but it should be against standard complaint to ISP)

If said content contain books (or maybe others pdf/epubs/docx), I would recommend uploading to one of the website that will eventually be mirrored by Anna’s Archive. (see https://annas-archive.org/datasets)

Matrix use the term of "homeserver" too

 

I have subscribed to a bunch of communities, some more active than other. It seems the front page, with all subscribed community appears qorted by active/hot, only show a few of the most active communities, making other less active ones not appear here, even yhought there are content posted. (mostly visible with !news@beehaw.org and !technology@beehaw.org).

I there a way to somehow reduce the ranking of these communities so more niche content have more chance to appear in the front page?

Thanks.
