It’ll never really be a perfect drop in replacement because Docker relies on its daemon for a lot of functionality and Podman is daemonless, so you have to work around that. But like you said it’s just a matter of learning how things work with Portman.

Docker images are OCI compliant and are agnostic of the container runtime you use.

Not everyone wants unauthenticated RCE from thousands of servers around the world.

Ive got really bad news for you my friend

The point was never that Anubis challenges are something scrapers can’t get past. The point is it’s expensive to do so.

Some bots don’t use JavaScript and can’t solve the challenges and so they’d be blocked, but there was never any point in time where no scrapes could solve them.

I’ve been playing Satisfactory for 6 years and I still haven’t finished it lol

The original comment reply to me was all about how the legal system would act in the context of the CFAA specifically. And in that context that logic does not follow. Theres not much latitude for any judge to interpret the CFAA that way.

They could always push through some new law however.

I’m not saying courts couldn’t pass a new law saying whatever they want. But the laws we have today would not allow for ad blocking to be considered unauthorized access. Not under the CFAA as mentioned.

I said “The logic would not extend to that” not that a legal system could not act illogically.

That doesn’t make any logical sense. You cant tie legal authorization to an unsaid implicit assumption, especially when that is in turn based on what you do with the content you’ve retrieved from a system after you’ve accessed and retrieved it.

When you access a system, are you authorized to do so, or aren’t you? If you are, that authorization can’t be retroactively revoked. If that were the case, you could be arrested for having used a computer at a job, once you’ve quit. Because even though you were authorized to use it and your corporate network while you worked there, now that you’ve quit and are no longer authorized that would apply retroactively back to when you DID work there.

If I put a banner on my site that says “by visiting my site you agree not to modify the scripts or ads displayed on the site,” does that make my visit with an ad blocker “unauthorized” under the CFAA?

How would you “authorize” a user to access assets served by your systems based on what they do with them after they’ve accessed them? That doesn’t logically follow so no, that would not make an ad blocker unauthorized under the CFAA. Especially because you’re not actually taking any steps to deny these people access either.

AI scrapers on the other hand are a type of users that you’re not authorizing to begin with, and if you’re using CloudFlares bot protection you’re putting into place a system to deny them access. To purposefully circumvent that access would be considered unauthorized.

Unauthorized access into a computer system and “Piracy” are two very different things.

That logic would not extend to ad blockers, as the point of concern is gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or asset. Blocking ads would not be considered gaining unauthorized access to anything. In fact it would be the opposite of that.

I can’t get over their CEO that looks like a nine year old. Not sure what it is about him

I mean, besides personal checks or money orders? Crypto. About the only thing Crypto is good for really.

Like make a query and then go make yourself a sandwich while it spits out a word every other second slow.

There are very small models that can run on mid range graphics cards and all, but it’s not something you’d look at and say “Yeah this does most of what chatGPT does”

I have a model running on a gtx 1660 and I use it with Hoarder to parse articles and create a handful a tags for them and it’s not… great at that.

AI models require a LOT of VRAM to run. Failing that they need some serious CPU power but it’ll be dog slow.

A consumer model that is only a small fraction of the capability of the latest ChatGPT model would require at least a $2,000+ graphics card, if not more than one.

Like I run a local LLM with a etc 5070TI and the best model I can run with that thing is good for like ingesting some text to generate tags and such but not a whole lot else.

I mean no not at all, but local LLMs are a less energy reckless way to use AI

I know exactly why they didn’t make dedicated servers and why doing so would be a scramble. But we are going to need them regardless

The way it usually works out in the type of games I play (like Battlefield) is that console plays with aim assist get a slight advantage to things like medium range target acquisition and shooting on the move, whereas whereas long range gunplay like sniping favors MKB, and CQC actions like quickly turning up to 180 degrees in short range heavily favors MKB.

Tell that to my PS5 K/D ratio. Never underestimate the power of aim assist lol

A $10VPS would not be sufficient for a heavily used multi-user Nextcloud instance, and it wouldn’t come with enough storage either.

You could cloud host this thing for less absolutely, but not a whole lot less. I have a Vultr VPS (cheaper than Digital Ocean, Linode, and other cheapo VPS providers) and all it does is reverse proxy and do some caching and it’s scraping by at a total of $24 a month. A $40 solution that’s more functional if not over-engineered for the difference in price equivalence to a Netflix subscription is not that huge a deal. Especially for someone who is doing this level of work for their job. That $16 is chump change.
