FYI, you’ve added a link where the label is the URL and the actual link is empty. You can fix this by removing the [

around the link. If the link is there as plain text, it gets a hyperlink automatically: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/pay-up-or-stop-scraping-cloudflare-program-charges-bots-for-each-crawl/

Deebster@infosec.pubto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-hostEnglish2·1 month agoAlso there’s that a file on a cloud service might change. E.g. Amazon sometimes updates ebook covers to advertise that there’s a show - even for those who have paid extra to have the ad-free option.
E.g. the sticker-type graphic on this and that the title is updated to “The Fires Of Heaven: Book 5 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)”:

Deebster@infosec.pubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?English4·2 months agoYou’re right, and it’s infuriating that the AI scrapers are just so lazy/incompetent that they do things like try to scrape every dynamic page of a git repo instead of just cloning it. Similarly, they could just connect over ActivityPub and it wouldn’t have much more overhead than another private instance.
There’s Anubis which uses JavaScript to force browsers to do some work before they can access, but given how unpopular Cloudflare is around here, I imagine there’d be a lot of complaints if it was deployed on every instance.
On Friday I spent over an hour trying to fix my Firefox tabs - I could no longer drag them to reorder or to a new window, and ctrl-shift-T didn’t restore tabs, but I could still do it via menus. I thought it might be something to do with the new tab-island stuff and tried FF safe mode, restarting computer, confirming about:config options, etc.
Turns out my headphones were resting on my Esc key.
Deebster@infosec.pubto Android@lemmy.world•My love - hate relationship with Xiaomi (reliability)English2·2 months agoGood to know. My old one was a Redmi Note 8 Pro and I miss the excellent camera (optical zoom!)
Deebster@infosec.pubto Android@lemmy.world•My love - hate relationship with Xiaomi (reliability)English3·2 months agoI think one of the ways they save money is using cheap wiring, so it gets hotter than it should. Also, no waterproofing - which is why I no longer have my Xiaomi.
Deebster@infosec.pubto Android@lemmy.world•My love - hate relationship with Xiaomi (reliability)English2·2 months agoMy previous phone was a Xiaomi and I never managed to unlock it. It would fail to unlock and then there would be a random amount of time before you could try it again. After weeks of that I didn’t want to have to set everything up again and just worked at removing all the telemetry and spying.
Deebster@infosec.pubto Android@lemmy.world•My love - hate relationship with Xiaomi (reliability)English6·2 months agoWhat makes you think they’re complaining about the new legislation?
The post contains a criticism, then says “however” followed by a positive. You’ve completely misunderstood it, from what I can tell.

Deebster@infosec.pubto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•I repurposed an old phone into a portable Atari 2600 for my momEnglish6·2 months agoIt says it’s wireless, but I’m not sure what it’s using - I’m guessing something custom enough that the dongle is necessary.
Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.
Deebster@infosec.pubto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This Week in Self-Hosted (11 April 2025)English1·3 months agoI had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?
Deebster@infosec.pubto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This Week in Self-Hosted (11 April 2025)English0·3 months agoNot your post, either ;) We’re c/selfhosted around these parts.
It feel like so long since I’ve seen someone use this template correctly, so you’ve got that going for you 👍
Deebster@infosec.pubOPto Navidrome Music Server (Unofficial)@discuss.tchncs.de•Navidrome 0.55.0 - Big Refactor (BFR) Release Notes1·4 months agoCongrats, and thanks for sharing.
What names has this process come up with?
Deebster@infosec.pubOPto Navidrome Music Server (Unofficial)@discuss.tchncs.de•Navidrome 0.55.0 - Big Refactor (BFR) Release Notes2·4 months agoI can’t help much there, I’ve only favourited albums and they were handled by the upgrade script.
I assume the change is due to the persistent id feature, but I don’t know why the upgrade script couldn’t handle it (although I’m assuming it’s too error prone to do automatically because of duplicate artist names).
My guess would be you should open your pre-upgrade database and export a list, and then use that to add them again to the post-upgrade database. If you’d tagged your files with musicbrainz (Picard) then you should be able to find the PIDs without too much trouble.
Alternatively, you could change your settings to use the old matching “legacy” style if you don’t have tags that are useful for PID.
I can see it, btw. I’m using Voyager on Android and see a spool of blue cable.
