@waifu Because it fails at preventing scraping bots that are smart enough to delete one "l" from Mozilla and deployed by people that will definitely not notice that.

I know the "lmao I can bypass Anubis with this simple trick" is the peak of /g/ hacker mentality, but in the real world everyone already knew this. It is mentioned in the blog post where the guy talks about it.

Anubis exists solely to ensure connections that act like browsers to prove they are browsers. If a connection doesn't pretend its a browser, Anubis does nothing, as is the intended effect, because at that point if the connection misbehaves, you can just block that particular UA.

No, it exists to prevent scraping by "checking that a browser is valid". Which it does not do at all. It's trivial to change the UA in an instrumented browser.

Okay, keep believing that.

you are trying to combat a bot attack

Correct. Sounds like there are reasons after all. Only took a whole sentence to figure that one out.

your mitigation simply has no effect

It appears to have an effect, and not just for my personal cgit. It appears a lot of people are using it because they are seeing a (positive) effect in combatting LLM scrapers with it.

it can be easily bypassed

It can, and that's ok. Because if you bypass it, you become a unique UA that I can just block with any regular UA block in HAProxy. Even if you automate "random" UAs, I can put in a pretty excessive UA blacklist with patterns if I so desire. The entire point is that a connection using a regular browser UA has to prove they are in fact a regular, legitimate browser, because blocking those isn't feasible, because you'd block nearly all legitimate traffic otherwise.

Its not a hard concept I think. I don't know why I have to reiterate the same thing three times for you, but I truly hope this time it'll stick. If not, for the love of Stallman please just cancel your Internet subscription.

@p Mastodon block-lists never get investigated or audited. If you get added to one you're there forever. And, they LARP about things like a "consensus model" for determining block validities---but, they all just blindly copy blocks over meaning that by de-facto they have an engineered "consensus" through unanimity.

@adiz @earslash @tyil @p @waifu Since this is my thread, I can derail it however I want, so here goes :).

Pete thought (thinks) that Fediverse as a network can't survive a split where basically the Mastodon and the rest divide and are unable to talk to each other.
I think that we are already at that point, or very nearly it, and things continue to be more-or-less the same. What changed over the years is a decrease in shitposting and an increase in politics sperging from poast and alike. Something that Mastodon is already mostly known as.

What scares me more than Mastodon going its own way is GoToSocial and its obsession with privacy on a network solely based on trust. I learned from silverpill that they apparently already have some kind of reply restrictions that make you unable to reply (alá Xitter) and other non-sense like that. Combined with all the authenticity and proof of origin work that silverpill has been working on, I think that this can have a much bigger impact, if it ever gets implemented broadly.

Imagine a Fediverse, where your reply can get effectively deleted, because someone remote doesn't like it and can remove that reply from their representation of a replies Collection, meaning that other server wouldn't know about it unless they specifically federate with you. Now add a function to that, that makes your reply go away even on those servers, because they respect the other remote server. Or imagine a Fediverse where your press "Post" on a reply and you get "replies not allowed", or "your reply awaits approval" back from the remote server.

Well, a split between *nodes* it can obviously survive. That remark was about a big split where the devs of various AP implementations can't cooperate with each other and start to deliberately diverge with the intention of making it harder to federate.

> I think that we are already at that point, or very nearly it, and things continue to be more-or-less the same.

Well, GTS still isn't popular.

> What scares me more than Mastodon going its own way is GoToSocial

Yeah, they're obsessed with trying to control information that has left their computers. Akkoma had this problem when it existed.

> they apparently already have some kind of reply restrictions that make you unable to reply

Yeah, this is accurate. I mean, you saw the fedilist blog post, right?

@sarvo @Inginsub @waifu There basically isn't one other than watching the logs periodically for suspicious activity. Those that already scrape Fedi aren't that dumb and masquerade as Mastodon or some other Fedi server which would completely bypass Anubis.

You are on a federated network and cannot control how the data spreads beyond your own instance. Posts from your instance show on publicly accessible timelines on other servers and whatnot, where they can be easily scraped without you ever knowing. The best you do, really, is to disable access to accounts, timelines for unauthenticated users on the UI side and that's about it for preventative measures. If Misskey can even do that. That said, completely disabling access for unauthenticated users to posts (threads) might annoy some that might use it to view posts that haven't federated to their instance.

_Treat everything you post like public information (even followers-only posts) and your users should do the same. Privacy barely exists on this network._

I don't have other recommendations beyond checking your logs for suspicious requests (more frequent than they should be to the same endpoint), checking those IPs and if they aren't a legitimate instance, just nullrouting them in the firewall. Putting Anubis on your UI API endpoints might block some scrapers, but using it globally will do nothing since you can still get posts from elsewhere and without a browser user-agent. Otherwise the federating protocol wouldn't be able to work.

But knowing Sony, they'd probably cut a shitload of corners, like not including a dock, attached controls on the thing so you'd need an external controller and yadda yadda to save as much cost

There's "leakers" around that said it's not quite PS5 powers, it has less memory bandwidth or something, leading to games possibly needed patches, but it does run PS5 binary and... I wonder how Sony is gonna solve this. Indie and smaller games may run, but bigger games could use patches or whatever. But... what about physical owners? This raises a lot of questions and Sony can lose big if they don't get generous here

@kerosene @coolboymew valve is working on a gaming-focused translation layer, their deckard headset is going to be ARM so they have great incentive for that to work out.
apple also may be increasing their game porting budget, after theyve successfully transitioned away from x86 from a productivity perspective.
microsoft is fighting this war from both fronts and their troops are building the start menu in react native

@phnt@fluffytail.org

@arcana @ergo @thatbrickster With the way 10grans worked, it's doable since you don't get anything by default. There was an exchange that supported it, where you could buy some and the beg feature gave you a small amount, but that was it.

Essentially it _can_ work, if the people giving you money are real people, instead of a corporation that gives you money based on some arbitrary statistic.

That said, I think that Nostr supporting Lightning and Zaps is also the reason why it's so sterile and nothing interesting than couple accounts comes from there. It's riddled with bots that aim to make revenue from generating garbage with LLMs and farming Zaps. Basically the same thing that killed Xitter. And the only meaningful difference that Fedi has in this case is that creating bots is harder and stopping spam is much simpler.

@sendpaws @arcana @ergo @thatbrickster You don't need to be an e-celeb to get payed on Xitter. A bunch of the cat videos accounts and TikTok reposters are Indians.

And the algorithm promotes that stuff so much that it always flooded my feed composed of almost exclusively artists and photography. All it takes is a single like made as a mistake and your feed is now complete garbage.

I honestly wish that more people on here posted their photography since both Xitter and Instagram suck for that now. And Pixelfed is mostly it's own bubble that barely federates.

@phnt @arcana @ergo @thatbrickster The problem with posting photography here is you get No Interactions (TM).

Everyone uses Insta because other photographers do, Twitter has been on the decline for a while but it still has people using it.

The problem is, Flickr, just like other has-been sites on the internet, is a perfect example of "And then one day for no reason whatsoever, everyone moved to social media".

...

Phantasm » 2025-05-30
@phnt@fluffytail.org

@sendpaws @arcana @ergo @thatbrickster Maybe I'm weird in this regard (likely), but I don't usually seek interactions when posting on here apart from the occasional discussion thread I make. I post as if shouting into the void and sometimes at shouts back.

I've posted few of my photos on here and the reason always was: "Here, look at this, it looks nice even though my chinese phone takes shitty pictures."

@ergo @arcana @sendpaws @thatbrickster Except on here you actually get some interesting discussions instead of constant hugbox replies. Even shitposting on here is better, but it seemed better few years ago. (Might just be my brain remembering only the better parts though.)

Like this thread turned from a joke post I made into something interesting.

My cloak implementation again - there actually is displacement taking place but it was perhaps turned down too much to notice in the last video. Here's a better recording of it

Predator cloak effect (PC / GLSL)

I wanted the intensity of the effect to scale with object movement speed, but I found that keeping track of enough samples to do it smoothly and/or interpolating them was a struggle to do right. Could try again later.

Below is 0% opacity, the displacement factor can be tweaked and is multiplied by a normal map

Interesting thing, Super Stardust did something like this too for one of it's bosses, which is how I know this is possible to do with just AGA, no need for modern GL like what I'm doing here.

I think - just a blind guess - that it was done by reserving slots in the palette just for that opponent and then copying colors from the pre-rendered background, but I haven't taken a good look in a debugger to know for sure.

Being an "anarcho-communist" has to be one of the most confusing categories of mental tomfuckery ever.

It's like saying the solution to world hunger is to magically conjure free food at everyone's doors, while also calling to euthanize all the hungry people.

At that point, why not keep it simple and just tell me you have masochistic dreams?

@bonkmaykr@canithesis.org I asked a co-worker to describe what "anarcho communism" is when I still worked at Applebee's (horribly unsanitary place by the way, don't ever eat there).

He just explained communism. But in a rosy way that covers up the inevitable authoritarianism.

I let him down gently because he was well-meaning, but utterly clueless.
