You have anything online you will be hammered by bots trying to get through. That’s the sad reality of the world we live on. It has been like that forever. I get hundreds of bot malicious scans on my server each day.

All that’s left is to secure everything as hard as you can so they cannot break through.

Only with some heavy restrictions.

Imagine a forum where you can, by default, only see the messages of people in your allow list.

That way spammers and people with bad intentions will just scream into the void.

Object detection and recognition for my self hosted security cameras.

They use a ML model to recognize which objects are in the picture.

None of the objectives were met.

We tried so hard and still were unable to stop any opening, cause any closure or push the legislative changes we wanted (limiting the amount of gambling houses that could be opened). They just opened as many houses as they liked.

My lesson was to not follow anything blindly even if it was said by people I respect. Always analyze by myself and be skeptical of everything.

It might be very country specific. But gambling houses.

They started to proliferate in my country around 10 years ago, and they said they were going to be the end of our youth. I, myself, went to a lot of actions to stop them.

We failed to stop them.

And 10 years after… Nothing happened. There are no mesurable increase in social problems due to the massive increase in gambling I was told it was going to happen. Also the houses themselves are always empty, people gamble mostly online anyway. But they put so much pressure on us to stop the opening of the physical buildings and cause rhe closure of the ones already opened.

I’m in principle against them still. Just because I don’t like people making money out of people addicted to gambling. But I’m also kind of mad that I spent to much time, effort, and even got sued for what we tried to do to stop them, just for them not really being as much as a threat as I was told they were. And my efforts would have been much better spent elsewhere.

At least I learned a very valuable lesson.

If you declare an antifascist organization as terrorism you are outing yourself, mate.

Business don’t pay sales tax though.

At least in my country they don’t. Sale tax is directed to the final customer.

I don’t like indirect taxes. Having to pay a 10% sales tax for a 300.000€ house just breaks my poor ass.

Please take ALL the money the government needs in direct taxes to the income. Those are proportional so they are more fair.

Apparently, hyperinflation.

If you don’t use it don’t do it because it’s shit, not because it’s “the weapon of the enemy”.

Any asymmetrical war is won using enemy’s weapons.

There are now plenty of flock cameras taken down. I wonder if someone is being able to extract the firmware from one of those and start to reverse engineering it to see what’s doing and what can do.

That is indeed a c at.

Anyone knows what an interpol warrant would mean in this case?

And he earned that by… Making everyone life worse. That was his contribution to society. He fucked us all and got a castle in reward.

No, you are not alone. I have the same feeling.

Future guys trying to loon up how something of current era works and they get hit with the old classic forum comment:

“Ask on our discord”.

Are most current blockbusters cartoons then? Because most of them are just cgi. Which percentage of computer generared graphics does it need to have to became a cartoon?

Sadly the “categorie” thing is somehow misleading.

There are not a few dozen categories. There are thousands if not millions of categories. And electronics is surely not one category.

I think categories are defined by a 6 digits code in the tariff print, or something like that. And they are very granulated.

At the end, unless you are buying several of the same product you end up paying 3€ per product.

I didn’t turn it down, so it’s obviously up.

He should create the department of “delay, deny, depose”.
