Anyone else using this to bypass those pesky paywalls? It’s working great for me using the docker container.

It says this is inspired by 13ft Ladder, which is also self hosted. What's the difference between the two?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Well Ladder is written in Go. 13ft is written in Python.

I too would like to know the difference between the two.

About 1 foot? 😁

I'll see myself out...

13ft Ladder is twice as expensive as this solution.

As someone that's never used any of those services, what's the difference between this and bypass paywalls clean?

Thanks for posting. I just deployed to my container host in AWS ECS and it's working well in my testing. Very easy deployment with docker.

Terrible choice of name, ladder is the name of a popular programming language for industrial automation, googling it would be a nightmare

My first thought was " Who has a PLC in their home?".

Why would you want to remove CORS headers? Won't that break a bunch of things?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It would open things up.

No CORS headers means your browser can't request the content if it's on a different domain. That doesn't seem useful to me? Maybe I'm missing something.

Oh, I assumed you could replace them. If it's just remove, you're 100% right.
