idle thought: since this is (as @self highlighted) effectively an open proxy, you could also just resource-bomb it quite easily

not that I’m planning to, but it’d be dirt bloody easy and it would be a very quick test as to the claims on the site

while looking into this I was surprised to find that hickory doesn’t seem to have a cli binary in its crates. did find crab-hole and adguardian in the process though, gonna have to play with those later

and the “mirrors” bit is basically an open proxy

could test this by setting up a simple example page and seeing the originating source for the traffic

same technique as previous, using an http (not https) canary:

geo_info: {'loc': '51.5085,-0.1257', 'org': 'AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.', 'city': 'London', 'country': 'GB', 'region': 'England', 'ip': '141.101.98.196', 'timezone': 'Europe/London', 'postal': 'E1W', 'asn': {'route': '141.101.98.0/24', 'type': 'hosting', 'asn': 'AS13335', 'domain': 'cloudflare.com', 'name': 'Cloudflare, Inc.'}}
useragent: (no user-agent specified)
request_headers: {'Host': 'canarytokens.com', 'X-Real-Ip': '141.101.98.196', 'X-Forwarded-For': '2a06:98c0:3600::103, 141.101.98.196', 'X-Forwarded-Host': 'canarytokens.org', 'Connection': 'close', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip', 'Cf-Ray': '89f1a3a114752508-LHR', 'X-Forwarded-Proto': 'https', 'Cf-Visitor': '{"scheme":"https"}', 'Cf-Ew-Via': '15', 'Cdn-Loop': 'cloudflare; subreqs=1', 'Cf-Connecting-Ip': '2a06:98c0:3600::103'}
request_args: {}

a quick check using a canary. test command:

curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://0ms.dev/dns-query?name={snip}.canarytokens.com'

canary trigger:

geo_info: {'loc': '51.5085,-0.1257', 'org': 'AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.', 'city': 'London', 'country': 'GB', 'region': 'England', 'ip': '141.101.70.74', 'timezone': 'Europe/London', 'postal': 'E1W', 'asn': {'route': '141.101.70.0/24', 'type': 'hosting', 'asn': 'AS13335', 'domain': 'cloudflare.com', 'name': 'Cloudflare, Inc.'}}

so, yeah, the actual resolve is being done by cloudflare servers too - it’s not even just a cf frontproxy to a different backend service. could be done with cf workers or something, I imagine, would need to test a bit further to know/try see

ah fuck I didn’t know Ladybird had those people involved (was only aware of project existence and reasons), fuck :<

I’ve noticed something similar with a lot of folks on the younger side in tech, although I haven’t had the headspace to dig into it. the thing I noticed is a lot of folks still willing to go into this dysfunctional shit getting highly paid because of knowing how bad things are elsewhere. afaict it’s not quite so much fygm as “just” trying to hoarde in the wake of 2+ decades of multiple world once-in-a-lifetime economic clusterfuck, as well as in the face of the total existential disaster that exists otherwise

(this is the impression I get in a wider sense. I’m not sure if it’s right, or applicable particularly here)

(there’s also a form of that which is quite strong in USA-based folks, but I don’t think ludic hails from the states)

and your point is?

other album track titles:

• cascading infinity
• which mirror is me? [am I? - interlude]
• the quintillionth heartbreak
• lies of being

weak attempt: replyribbon; linear, unsophisticated, prone to reuse without much change, and extremely easy to rip to shreds

select the Banks extract, pass through wc: 1677

select the yud…emanation, do same: 13442

at this stage it’s likely the basilisk will torture him purely for entropic revenge. information-theoretic retribution.

you can view them on home timeline if you really want to, but probably you’ll regret it

I’ve (irl) met a “part-time” LW reader and tried to have a conversation about some of the shit, and … same experience

just utterly had no ability to even receive the information about the longstanding sexual abuse or statements of yud being a charisma-for-nerds grifter

(had an earlier conversation with ‘em some many months prior calling out many of issues in coiner world after they’d gone laser-eyes having read the bitcoin paper, and they eventually got their head out of their ass, so…. I’m hopeful it’s not all lost yet)

GAs went out of the limelight before the rest of the beaus of current “AI” branding came to be, suspect that might be part of it

(Another suspicion is that it’s because they’re…fairly observable, ito operation? So it’s far less easily claimable that one of these has gained sentience, or all the other dumb bullshit that the cluster has spun in recent years)

……pwahahaha I’ve never seen that image but I am going to use it so much

nah, that kinda asshole doesn’t leave a great taste in one’s mouth, not my kinda diet at all

you won’t find me disagreeing with systematic redress to remove the possibility of these fuckers from ever being able to exist, nor for figuring out how to reverse the total bullshit we’ve already landed in from 40~50y of post-bork/-reagan nightmares, tho

I can’t tell whether their intended point with that last one was “I said all the dogwhistles and none of you agreed instantly!”, or a genuine intent at stating that there was a perceived shallowness in our communal reading comprehension

and either case just makes no goddamn sense whatsoever, what the fuck

“keep me banned though”

the fuck? they thought a pestering third-avenue dm would have resulted in a different action?

“that community is full of people who really have a low level reading ability”

absolutely fucking perfect, 300/10, no notes

what the utter belligerent fuck

bloody amazing to see them airdrop in pitching perplexity when literally last week perplexity was caught pants down stealing

llm systems so good they still need human reputation-washers!

you are way, way too short for this ride

I’d hate to meet you at parties
