Happy New Year! Hope this one doesn't suck as bad as the last one.

I will, at the very least, look more into it.

Can always just use a free LetsEncrypt SSL Certificate and host the DNS elsewhere.

beloved admin switching away from clownflare? after one (polite) request? :O it's more likely than you think.

DDOS filtering is done at the network level, so I'm not worried about that. I've just used Cloudflare for years and have gotten used to it's ease of use for DNS hosting and quick on the fly SSL cert setups.

I'll seek out an alternative and add that to the list, as well as changing the SSL cert since it's issued by CF as well.

Give me a few days, until then use any of the viable alternative methods.

Why do you have to be like this?

Nice. Crusher P makes some really good English Vocaloid songs.

spain should also make a registery of people who play fortnite, that way we can contain the spread of that too.

Under what definition of conspiracy are you operating, here? The Volkswagen thing at position 99 for example, that was simple fraud, wasn't it?

Appealing to authority isn't an argument, y'know? It's a logical fallacy.

I won't get it and within my personal contacts, no one will get it, either. Some of whom happen to be doctors themselves. If you feel comfortable getting a vaccine in the early stages of testing, good for you. I feel different.

Usually what happens instead is that you get an unsolvable challenge. Well, not always unsolvable, occasionally the algorithm has mercy and lets you through after minutes of suffering. But it's not really worth trying.

I've been stuck in reCAPTCHA hell before where I swear they were sent to specifically discourage someone from continuing.

"Select All the Crosswalks" but then, they have an image of the rumblestrips cut into the side of highways (that warn you when you veer off road) when, photographed correctly "look like" crosswalk stripes. Didn't select it because it's not a crosswalk, failed. Then everything else is "Select the bicycles" with images of motorcycles too. Does Google know the difference between the two? I do. Still failed, maybe I should have selected the motorcycles also.

And don't even get me started on the ones where you have like 4 pixels of an image in another square. Do you select it as well? Part of the fire hydrant is in that square. When selecting the street lights, do you choose JUST the very clearly obvious ones, or do you select the small, out of focus ones in another square as well?

Usually at this point I just say, "fuck it" and find what I'm looking for elsewhere.

Please do not try to debate a subject you are uneducated in, it makes you look like a fool. if you really cared about your safety you would do research on the vaccine and understand like the majority or us that yes of course they tested in groups. do you not understand how medical studies work? i close relive of mine has already gotten it as he is a doctor and he says he feels stronger. if your not at high risk medically then take the vaccine your just adding to the problem and making it harder to reach heard immunity.

In the last year, Google has started to roll out reCAPTCHA Version 3. And, unfortunately, there’s not much that can be said for this, because it’s such a closely guarded secret. All that we do know is, from the minute you enter a website with reCAPTCHA Version 3 on it, you will be monitored in the background, and when you go to click ‘submit’ you’ll have already been assigned a ‘How Likely This is to be a Robot’ score.

There are no documents detailing how they work this out, and we can only hope that they are taking into account Incognito Mode, and importantly, accessibility tools. For all we know, those with a negative score may have their comment immediately archived or their form submission sent into a spam folder. And there’s no way to tell if you’ve failed.

Facial recognition

Something that Monzo Bank are doing, is a sure-fire way of ensuring you’re not a robot. Their identification checks involve you sending a picture of your ID, and thereafter sending a video of you saying a phrase. Not only is this checking you are a human, it’s ensuring you’re the specific human in question.

Fair point but i think if anything this encourages people to take it so we can reach heard immunity sooner.

Yup works now :)

I literally stared at this for about 15 minutes straight.

This would make a great album cover.

I'll have to check this out. I'm not a fan of tech and their warnings / labels / "additional context" but it seems like it can be disabled.

About 80% of my YouTube usage is music anyway, so if it's going to give additional information about the videos it might as well have neat band trivia and related artists instead of fake news warnings and context added.

Love NewPipe. As long as they have the option to opt out of the warnings, who cares. As for the people asking for the feature, these are some top-tier brain-dead soy cunts.

don't worry im just a bot

Good, good.

A lot faster now. Thank you.

sure, now should he be taken literally? no. he's an entertainer not the fucking pope.

There hasn't been enough time for the thing to get the status of tested. Give it a couple of years. To repeat these runs and see if it even works and for how long.

I still won't be getting it, since my immune system is weak. Always has been. But at that point I'll stop complaining about it being untested.

Setting up multi-homing now. I've got two routers in two different continents, so even if one router is down it should still be resolvable.

Aside from your recent downtime, things are pretty snappy now. That change was the right one to make.
