I don’t use it since I use a paid service.

I also use an antenna with a HDHomeRun network tuner for local shows. Have you considered that? It’s only over-the-air channels of course, but combining it with something like Plex or Jellyfin lets you stream and record live TV from anywhere.

https://thetvapp.to/ is probably the best you’re going to find for free.

All the best IPTV services cost money and are hidden away, usually with just a private Discord or Telegram. The one I use is around $40/year but they’re not taking new customers (they’ve been closed to new customers for 3 or 4 years now).

There’s some well-known services you can find via Google, like Apollo TV, but they’re usually overpriced and just resell streams from a cheaper provider.

A lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.

You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.

It might be your ISP trying to block it. I’m surprised they’re not using HSTS to force HTTPS.

wait for a Steam sale.

Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.

Haha good point - maybe “generated by” is a better description?

I hate to say it, but there’s a lot of “vibe coders” that use AI to write their code, then they (or someone else) use AI to review it. No human brains involved.

The article says:

None of the tools produced exploitable SQL injection or cross-site scripting

but I’ve seen exactly this. After years of not seeing any SQL injection vulnerabilities (due to the large increase in ORM usage plus the fact that pretty much every query library supports/uses prepared statements now), I caught one while reviewing vibe-coded code written generated by someone else.

It wasn’t a dox attempt though. The blog just collected information that was already publicly available on other sites.

In this case, their CAPTCHA page intentionally included code to DoS a particular blog, sending a request to search for a random string every 300ms (search is very CPU-intensive). This was regardless of the archived site you were trying to view.

This is understandable, but at the same time, none of the anti-paywall lists are as good as archive.today. They actually have paid accounts at a bunch of paywalled sites, and use them when scraping.

Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?

I understand now. I completely missed the point.

It works well because they use paid accounts to scrape a bunch of paywalled sites, which is why publishers are trying to figure out who runs it.

It’s completely untrustworthy now that they’ve shown that they can (and do) edit archived pages.

Why do you need an archive of Wikipedia though? Each page retains its entire history, so you can easily go back to old versions without using a third-party site (especially one that DDoSes people)

Wikimedia also provide downloads of the whole of Wikipedia, including page history. You can easily have your own copy of the entirety of Wikipedia if you want to, as long as you’ve got enough disk space and patience to download it.

Edit: I’m an idiot but I’m leaving this comment here. I didn’t realise you meant dead links on Wikipedia, not to Wikipedia.

Mine does this for the fridge but not for the freezer, which is confusing.

The issue with that is that all of them require internet access for that, and there’s no way I’m connecting my fridge to the internet.

I got a new fridge last year and the whole back of it (behind the shelves) is lit evenly, I guess with LEDs. Far nicer than a bulb.

Discord doesn’t get as many clicks compared to the larger companies, since fewer people know about it. For articles like this, news publishers always list the most well-known brands.

They have a free trial account that lets you do 100 searches. It’s worth trying out at least.
