  • Trump threatens tariffs on countries that ‘discriminate’ against US tech

    Jump

  • The U.S. is the world’s largest consumer market by a factor of 3. So it’s more accurate to say “Give me what I want or I’ll take away a sizable chunk of your customers, potentially causing you financial ruin”

    You and I both know that the U.S. won’t just magically and instantly stand up its own production to replace your countries market, but in this case he just needs American companies to start importing from a different foreign country with lower tariffs. The effect this has on your country depends on how much your country’s GDP comes from exports to America, but it’s potentially very harmful.

    As an American this sucks because long term, long after this dude is gone, our trading partners will have already adjusted who they’re exporting to in order to absorb a loss like this, and I doubt that’d change for decades.

  • Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewall

    Jump

  • 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.

  • ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity

  • 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.

  • 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.
