.tg is already used by Togo, although .te is not taken.

At least those bots are easy to block though. I run a niche stats website for an esport and I have no idea why there's loads of residential trawlers/botnets with 10k+ IPs trying to…

Most well-known/large agentic web tools I've seen are actually super honest about who they are -- even when they write out scripts they're very keen to identify themselves using us…

Had similar issues with podman on a Steam Deck of mine that I use as a little home server - eventually got a configuration working fine but was a real pain.

Proved that everyone asking that question is playing a signalling game!

With Sunshine (I looked at it ages ago but totally forgot about it), do you have to be logged in order to accept clients? With Steam remote play streaming it won't let me stream un…

What if there were multiple (2+) founders of a company, and some lived in Estonia? I think in one case they had a Croatian co-founder as well.

Have multiple friends who have done an Estonian OÜ despite being primarily German. No issues on this tax side.

They show a 1080p/high benchmark of Stellaris on Gamers Nexus and it took 63.9s on Linux OpenGL and 67.4s on DX11 ( https://youtu.be/66QzlDewigE?t=2021 ). I would guess the AMD R9 …

Are hardware IDs reliable at all - I've seen so many companies using HWIDs in their anti-cheats over the years and it has never worked; so I wonder if this would easily be worked a…

Sometimes systems which reward luck are better than systems which purely reward money. If scalping exists, it often completely eliminates people who are too poor, even if they are …

What type of activity? Just purchasing? There's thousands of bot accounts made every day which are active in the sense of playing games, but don't buy very much.

It would be nice if ToS were more like open source licenses in which people commonly standardize or template them (or parts of them). That way there's large chunks which are reduce…

I think that's true provided they have replacement hardware - for harddrives/RAM that's almost always true, but a few years ago I had an EOL motherboard issue and was forced into m…

I run a few stats site for a video game, and the overall hosting right now is ~€220 on Hetzner for a AX51-NVMe + AX61-NVMe + some extra SSDs + HDDs --- so that's the same price as …

I got a Surface Pro 7 soon after it was released and it was really great for the price. A good size to work on, decent battery, and actually worked well as a 2-in-1 device. The key…

Are you thinking of the cobra effect (aka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive ) where people in India started breeding cobras to get the reward?

Isn't it _just_ the U7 that's longer? The U5 is the 2nd longest and that's 22km and just a ~45 min ride.

It's been a real game of cat and mouse over the last few years. I used to do daily iptables updates to block repeat scrapers on my small niche stats site I run. About 5-6 ago it be…

> Are there examples of REST-style APIs that implement a two-step confirmation for modifications? A pattern I've seen and used for merging common entities together has a sort of tw…

Have you checked out Audiobookshelf? Relatively easy to self-host, can do podcasts, audiobooks, ebooks, comics. A few different clients you can use ( https://abstoolbox.vito0912.de…

Yeah the 560 Ti was insanely popular in my group of friends. In ~2004 there was a good amount of FX 5700s, some people struggling on Geforce 4, and some on the FX 5900 Ultras. Some…

My personal theory is that it's related to their planned launch of their new VR headset soon, and want people to be able to buy it using the Steam Store - so deflating the market m…

If they had a ssh server on the remote machine they could have also done something like `ssh -g -ND 53 root@localhost` from the remote machine, which would have exposed a remote-ac…
