I always lock my computer when I walk away from it so my dog can’t start hacking the CIA.

Your severed arms are my house, your heart is my desktop background

Some VPNs use ports 443 or 80 which won’t be blocked. There’s also some which disguise the traffic to appear as HTTPS. It’s a cat and mouse game but I don’t see the cat winning.

I always use the audio for Lemmy captcha because some of the letters are ambiguous

They steal people’s domain names, there have been many reports over the past couple of years. If anyone has a domain with them it’s recommended to transfer away. They used to be good, but I assume anyone still recommending them isn’t up to date on their behavior.

On my Linux laptop with a Nvidia card, there is a Nvidia program which lets you switch between dedicated or on-board graphics, or on-demand where applications can request the graphics card.

I can’t speak for everyone, but they increase the security and performance of websites for free. I’m sure a lot of people would like to move away from Cloudflare, but every time I try to find an alternative, none of their competitors even come close. Let’s say I moved one of my websites to Bunny CDN and transferred 1TB per month, that could increase my website cost by $120 per year.

The sad reality is that Cloudflare can basically do whatever they want until another competitor offers a good free alternative, which is unlikely because Cloudflare has a monopoly. We would effectively be asking millions of websites to pay to use a service with less features.

I’m still looking for a good alternative, so if anyone has one then please let me know.

Yes because it makes them billions of dollars. It’s disgusting.

You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.

Indeed. On some websites, Netflix shows are available within minutes or hours after release.
