Neat project! What does yout scraping process look like?
I view ChatGPT responses nothing more than a "let me google that for you.." API for those too lazy to Google/read docs.
Having worked in the repossession industry I can tell you it's a messy one. It's become such a sh*t show between vendors and the actual agents/companies, it's a fight to who can bid the lowest for each car. Also I'm not sure how this will work, there is so much regulation in the repossession industry.
Shout out to my teenage self for not using real names back in SMF and phpBB forum days
I'm in the process of trying to de-Google my life. Apart from being forced to use Google at my workplace I want nothing to do with them other than google searches. I have 4 Gmails though, a few personal and a few for etc sites. I was thinking about setting up a forwarder for all to 1 email account. Any recommendations for a dumb phone? I know Google and Android phones go hand in hand.
FWIW, I've never posted anything on SO and none of my GitHub comments/issues are going to be deleted. It's not so much what I post, it's more of a conscious thing, knowing I have stuff online for the world to see. It just doesn't sit well with me anymore. I'm not by any means a public figure or popular it's just tinhat things I guess.

In the recent months I've become more aware of my digital footprint and have been doing a lot digital spring cleaning. Of course we all know nothing really gets permanently deleted from servers but anything I'm able to remove from the public such as reddit/forums submissions and posts I have been doing so. What I'm currently doing is attempting to sign-in into any website where I supplied my...
I'm not surprised. GoDaddy supported the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Is the public still not convinced GoDaddy is an evil and shady company? When someone mentions them I always advise them to transfer their domain/hosting elsewhere.
Either I'm burnt out or jaded and cranky but I thought the same.
What about Snapchat, twitter, Facebook/Instagram?
When something like this happens, is the development team to blame? Or maybe even the QA team? Wouldn't it be customary to test for things like this
Can you share the substack?
Nice design, how was the transition between Untitled UI to tailwindcss/code?
What's interesting to me is the letter sent to the parents house, it's similar to that of a scam email requesting for millions of bitcoin... or else. The irony.
Side note: could have this happened if you ran a browser with JS turned off?
Ever since I got my first iPhone around 2009 I've always set all of my notifications to off, everything from phone calls to SMS, and all the apps. Not one single notification pops up. Unless I'm expecting an important call I don't feel like I should be notified for everything. It has worked great for me and not getting distracted as much.

6 months ago I created a web app that pays users for the traffic they bring to the web app via a URL. Things have been running smooth and profitable. I had an attorney write up a solid ToS but I'm concerned that some users may find a way to fake their traffic. I have a basic visit_log that shows me HTTP logs with IP and time_spent on page. I know easy it is to send fake bot traffic. My biggest...
I'm curious what was your stack for scraping this much data?
