I am not sure what you are doing to get "harassed" by anubis but I use privacy respecting browsers with ad blockers and vpns myself, and anubis is by far the least annoying, almost invisible even.

In comparison I get cloudflare recaptcha on every site that uses it, sometimes multiple times per session and sometimes not even letting me pass at all due to "error".

And if the website uses Google recaptcha then I close the tab because I know it will just end up in endless recaptcha hell.

I think if you update your address and country in your HE account it will also update the geolocation of your ipv6 range, although i do not know how long it takes, especially since it is dependent on the different geolocation services themselves

Personally I use quad9 (https://www.quad9.net)

On linux you can enable an option in the kernel to update microcode at runtime (late microcode loading), but this is not recommended as you have processes that started before the late microcode update and thus might have already ran into cpu bugs

Adding to that list, most valve games (even half life 1 from 1996) still getting updates today, and indie game terraria released in 2011 which got big content updates over a decade.

i live in a rural area with zero public transportation and would have a very hard time doing anything in nearby town if there was nowhere to park my car.

"you can’t both sell on steam and sell cheaper elsewhere"

Actually you can, this clause only applies to steam keys which is understandable especially since when selling those you keep 100% of the profits while still using steam features. However nothing keeps you from selling your game both on steam and epic games store while having it cheaper on egs, as any copy sold on egs will not be a steam key and therefore will not use steam features / bandwidth.

I would not call Gandi high integrity folks after having seen that story of them losing customers' paid emails and telling them to restore from their own backups https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822

we use windows 10 at work and i also noticed that when an update is available and you want to shut down the computer, you can choose between "shutdown" and "apply updates then shutdown", however recently even doing just "shutdown" will still apply the updates. happened to me twice now, and to a few colleagues as well

i got the same issue a few weeks ago, account is almost 2 years old yet they decided to lock it (my following count was set to 0 and i could not tweet anymore), with only way to unlock it being giving them my phone number

however, i managed to unlock it somehow, first i sent them a trouble ticket asking why i could not tweet anymore (which immediately got me an email that said my account was locked for "suspicious activity" and that i needed to confirm my identity with phone number), then i requested all the data they had on me through the profile options, waited 3 days for them to do the archive then when i logged back in to download it they would only ask for a recaptcha challenge to unlock my account

perhaps they consider bots unable to request gdpr data ?

this is great, i already have bad enough internet (rural area with 3 to 6 digits latency and average 4 digits, barely a few kilobytes of speed) and having both google smearing everywhere their recaptchas that are not really friendly toward low speed internet / non chrome users and cloudflare proxying half the internet but lately not really doing a great job at keeping a consistent uptime does not help much

at least i am glad hn exists, it is the only thing that loads everywhere
