Fair enough, it must have just been a fluke I saw a few posts like this in a row

On a tangent, is it just me, or has there been a notable uptick in this type of question? Feels a lot like astroturfing, but so far as I can see there's been no malicious intent

That's actually a really interesting part of AI I'd never considered to be a threat, thanks for sharing the link!

Then why not start with those ones?

Even with the radioactive waste material, in 20 years that will just be more fuel for fission reactors. Even taking into account the deaths from atomic bombs, the death rate from nuclear materials is a factor of a few hundred lower than coal power.

That's more or less my understanding, a nerd knows a lot of useless random facts, but a geek will tell them to you whether you asked or not.

Been having issues with Google/Reddit etc. lately as well on Proton, managed to get around it by switching to a new IP subnet. It's likely they've just blocked IPs with malicious users behind them, which sucks for the rest of us.

It's possible to track the number of hops that a device on a network has, since TTL will be 8-bit numbers (and ususally start at 64, 128, etc.) if the TTL of a packet has 64 from the main device, the devices it's sharing with will be 63 (and so on un the chain for N+1 hops). This may not be exactly how they do it since device fingerprinting would be way simpler, but it is a plausible way of tracking that a device is using a hotspot.

Out of curiosity, I found that I can comment nothing, that's new

Same in Australia, massive outages when Optus broke their shit a second time

This probably the best approach, otherwise we end up with essays about their grandmother's love for certain recipes and the inspiration that their cooking was.

Plus, half the time people just want to share something cool they found.
