Anyone that wants to scrape Lemmy would have an easier time setting up their own server, federating with everyone, and reading straight from their DB. No web scraping required. Though, web scraping defenses would be useful against general web scrapers/crawlers.
I blow hot air.

Vent@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish7·4 months agoThey typically don’t. They do proxy it if there is something preventing a direct connection, but the proxy bandwidth is super limited and results in pretty terrible playback quality.
Vent@lemm.eeto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Trump tariffs result in 10% laptop price hike in U.S. says Acer CEOEnglish59·4 months agoSurely the price will then drop once the tarrifs are over!
Vent@lemm.eeto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexableEnglish13·10 months agoThe post is saying it’s difficult to discover lemmy without someone telling you about it. It’s not really about searching lemmy.
Vent@lemm.eeto TechTakes@awful.systems•Amazon to replace Alexa with Anthropic’s Claude AI — and charge for itEnglish61·10 months agoSorry, not interested in conversing with my lightswitch.
Vent@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is it safe to use MIG Switch for pirating?English22·10 months agoThey don’t ban your account, they ban your switch. If your switch is caught, it won’t be able to use any Nintendo services ever again. But your account would still work on other devices.
Vent@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Disney wants a wrongful death lawsuit thrown out because the plaintiff had Disney+40·11 months agoAnd for a free trial, no less! If this isn’t laughed out of the courtroom and dismissed with prejudice, we’re all screwed.

Vent@lemm.eeto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in the early days of Fed-Ex, there was one time the company couldn't afford the fuel bill for their planes, so the founder took the company's last $5,000 and went to Las Vegas and won $27,000English201·11 months agoNo, but he went with a thousand other shipping company CEOs and only him and the UPS guy came out with money.
Vent@lemm.eeto Housing Bubble 2: Return of the Ugly @lemmy.world•Some homeowners are doing surprisingly badly, even as their homes grow more valuable than everEnglish15·1 year agoSurprisingly? It’s common knowledge that a high home value only helps when selling. When living in a home, you want the value to be as low as possible since it affects property tax, insurance, etc… That’s one of the major factors that prices people out of their homes when their town gets gentrified.
The surprising part is the astonishing rate at which insurance premiums are shooting up faster than a hardened fentanyl addict.
Vent@lemm.eeto Shitty Million Dollar Ideas@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Service that exchanges your head with a celebrities head, powered by blockchain freedom points.English14·1 year agoConscienceness is stored in the balls

Vent@lemm.eeto Proton @lemmy.world•Proton Annual Survey: Gentle reminder to kindly ask for a Linux Client for Drive, now.English22·1 year agoFocus of my survey:
- I don’t care about LLMs
- Focus on core products instead of making new stuff
I’ll be interested to see the results on how everyone else reacted to all of the AI questions.
Vent@lemm.eeto TechTakes@awful.systems•Slack by default using messages, files etc for building and training LLM modelsEnglish23·1 year ago“Data will not leak across workspaces because trust us.”
Yeah, and every other LLM has demonstrated such great abilities to avoid reproducing training material 🙄
Vent@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I'll never understand this kind of mindset.English2·1 year agoAh, that makes sense. I was thinking more like a mini-m&m tube.
Vent@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I'll never understand this kind of mindset.English15·1 year agoI’m having a hard time envisioning the flexibility required to make that work. It couldn’t have been both at the ends at the same time? Also, did this kid just get naked in front of everyone at their party? To each their own, I guess.
Vent@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Tribler: Peer-to-Peer decentralized torrent clientEnglish7·1 year agoIf you want a decentralized search, set up a DHT crawler and build a db of millions of torrents in a week or two. If you want anonymity/legal protection, use a trusted VPN. I’m not sure I’d trust a random independent tor-like implementation, especially when the real tor is slow and has imperfect anonymity.
Vent@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Selfhosted messenger/community software like discordEnglish4·1 year agoIf you’re worried about unauthorized access to the physical machine, you could always just do disk-level encryption instead or store the app’s data in something like a Veracrypt virtual disk. They’d still be able to access the data if they go through your OS/user, but wouldn’t pick anything up by accessing the drive directly.
Nothing short of E2EE can truly stop someone from accessing your data if they have physical access to the server, but disk encryption would require a targeted attack to break, and no host is wasting their time targeting your meme server. I seriously doubt they’d access it even if you had no encryption at all, since if they get caught doing that they’d get in a heap of legal trouble and lose a ton of business.
There is nothing in the algorithm tied to BTC price. Sure, you’ll likely tend to get less miners as the price decreases, but that doesn’t guarantee that it’s profitable. Plenty of people, organizations, governments, etc do things that aren’t immediately profitable and may never be.
