Nah fuck that shit I was so glad when everything moved to computers in schools. Kids are never gonna need to handwrite or speak in their lives, they need typing practice.
Truly awesome that this hobby is getting coverage! I'm very very lazy when it comes to self-hosting, by far my largest project was moving off Spotify and archiving all my playlists.
Rotating 3 API keys for spotdl and a YTP free trial for that sweet sweet 256kbps AAC then Musicbrainz Picard to label correctly all the music (automatic was nearly almost always wrong), then automating rebuilding the m3u8 playlists followed by the insane work of correcting all the little imperfections. Must've taken me like 2-3 weeks of just working on it most of the day.
But the result? A proper offline music library with all my main playlists with each song at the proper position and order in my playlists with the correct (Spotify) metadata using correct versions of the songs in at least 256kbps AAC (and many cases FLAC and where available non-vinyl hi-res).
Tossed on an old dell workstation I got for £50. Hosting navidrome where my JF, Qbittorrent-nox and Immich live. Using symfonium on my phone. Can access remotely via OpenVPN. Couldn't be happier.
Wait wait, by saying 10% stacks each time, do you mean 10% of the original number, or 10% of the remaining number of people?
Like, for the sake of simplicity, 10 billion to start with, 10%, so 1 billion for the first finger. Then does it become 10% of the remaining 9 billion, so around 900 million, or another 10% of 10 billion?
I would likely still do it, even if all 10 fingers wouldn't save humanity together, but if I could also pass this deal, it would be interesting to get 10 random people off the street and present the choice to them. If the collective has the solidarity necessary to want to save others, it shows just how justified it is for them to be saved.
It stuck around in my head because begging was free, but when someone leaked the twitch earnings, it made me worried some people really were donating to those time wasting chancers on the internet. Turns out they do, which isn't great. A fool and his money are soon parted ig.
Where can I watch that? Is that movie any good? The trailer doesn't look great and reminds me of conservaslop apocalypse home invasion type stuff or that weird movie where the world government that wants everyone to wear masks is in one warehouse and there's a christian preacher steve jobs type and they have a goth tradwife hacker lady.
I made a PayPal account like 20 years ago in a third world country. The only thing you needed then is an email and password.
I have no real name on there and no PII, technically my bank card is attached but on PP itself there's no KYC. I think you could probably use some types of prepaid cards with it if you want to avoid using a bank altogether but for me this wasn't an issue, I just didn't want my ID on any records, I don't have any serious OpSec concerns otherwise.
I'm sure you could either buy PayPal accounts like this if you needed to, or make one in a country that doesn't have KYC laws somehow.
From there I'd add money to my balance and send money as F&F. At no point did I need an ID so in that sense there's no KYC.
Some sellers on localmarket were fancy enough to list that they wanted an ID for KYC, but I'm sure you could just send them any random ID you made in paint from the republic of dave and you'd be fine.
This wasn't a thing until like 2 years ago and I've no idea why it's become a thing at all. I've never once had the desire to donate to some "creator" on the internet nor known anyone who has.
I think the principle could be applied to scan outside of the machine.
It is making requests to 127.0.0.1:{port} - effectively using your computer as a "server" in a sort of reverse-SSRF attack.
There's no reason it can't make requests to 10.10.10.1:{port} as well.
Of course you'd need to guess the netmask of the network address range first, but this isn't that hard.
In fact, if you consider that at least as far as the desktop site goes, most people will be browsing the web behind a standard consumer router left on defaults where it will be the first device in the DHCP range (e.g. 192.168.0.1 or 10.10.10.1), which tends to have a web UI on the LAN interface (port 8080, 80 or 443), then you'd only realistically need to scan a few addresses to determine the network address range.
If you want to keep noise even lower, using just 192.168.0.1:80 and 192.168.1.1:80 I'd wager would cover 99% of consumer routers.
From there you could assume that it's a /24 netmask and scan IPs to your heart's content. You could do top 10 most common ports type scans and go in-depth on anything you get a result on.
I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, when I was testing 13ft.io - a self-hosted 12ft.io paywall remover, an SSRF flaw like this absolutely let you perform any network request to any LAN address in range.
Thanks for your input! What I'd love to know is what are those people into, if not tech? If they don't know any "nerds" then who do they know and what do they talk about?
