Re:Who does Anubis actually stop? on Saturday July 25, 2026 @06:57PM (#49052636)
perhaps the author, instead of the "I'm so clever" theoretical arguments from the client side, actually implemented Anubis on the server side and observe the results.

I have set it up on a few sites being relentlessly hammered by clearly idiotic bot traffic, and it drops bot the traffic levels from insane to manageable. I don't even care if the traffic is AI or bots, if the bot has gone to the same effort as the author has the bot may even just access the site in a responsible manner and that's fine.

before and after apache logs showing much less crap in them from bots. Do you think the maintainers of https://lore.kernel.org/ would leave something in that didn't work? It isn't perfect but I have run it on a (much smaller) web site getting hammered by bots and logged "before" and "after" and the difference is measurable.

these keep it real types obviously not having to deal with the day to day crap I deal with. using LLM to redraft emails/support calls for a particular large firewall turned an enfuriating endless feedback loop of makework support nonsense into 2 message resolution.

Sharing the prompts would have messed it all up for sure.

There are other instances where I have shared fairly direct, but not what I would consider rude or aggressive emails to people and had them freak out and I have no idea why, rewriting with LLMs to make them blander but convey the same message is very handy here.

this is why molly.im was a lifesaver for me.. trying to move a family member from VIBER to SIGNAL and ran into the annoying roadblock of not being able to link an Android tablet to an Android phone like Viber can - but molly does it fine.
this kind of blockchain analysis for the non-privacy oriented coins has been well known at least for a decade.. I don't see how it's a secret weapon except against the naive or uninformed
I had the same frustrating "we are suspending your account but we refuse to explain why, have a nice day" crap from Azure.. anyone who depends on mission critical stuff from these services needs their heads read.

GrapheneOS says

"European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone"

https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114784469162979608

State employees in their official capacity making inaccurate claims to media about GrapheneOS to smear it as being for criminals and as the users as largely being criminals is a state sponsored attack on the GrapheneOS project.

As an Australian I am disgusted by this backwards, authoritarian, ant-privacy approach.

interesting but still very alpha. It doesn't have any desktop/PC clients yet, but I assume it will?
compared to other businesses this number seems OK :-)
But in 2015:

Microsoft announced at its Ignite conference this week that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows. Microsoft has no plans to let Windows 10 become stale. On the contrary, it plans to keep Windows evolving with regular improvements and updates.

time to get rid of the freeloaders with Anubis? https://anubis.techaro.lol/
A long time ago I was given an Android, Apple, and MS-windows phone to evaluate as company phones for the company I worked for. the MS-windows phone crashed almost straight out of the box. and crashed again. and again.
The 85% of French and 75% of India adopting it don't care, they just use it :-)

Re:Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server on Wednesday March 05, 2025 @05:31AM (#43264987)
perhaps this is a FAQ but does this handle virtual domains like Postfix and Dovecot can?

i.e

[email protected] and [email protected] are completely separate domains/imap accounts on the same server?
