Fokamul··on Subscription bombing and how to mitigate it
Cloudflare and any other anti-bot service is only good against people without willpower and knowledge to bypass them.

JS can be reversed, you clearly see what data points they use for detection. Anything can be spoofed and it will look like human behavior.

And if everything fails, you outsource it to AI - Always Indian :D

Fokamul··on Solar panels at Lidl? Plug-in versions set to appear in shops
Ok.

On your map, let's say the source is valid, UK has $0.4. I'm from CZ, we have $0.35.

UK has more than double median salary, DOUBLE. Which means that in some cities it will be actually more like 2x or 3x smaller. But price of electricity is more or less same in the whole country here.

Don't tell me something about expensive electricity and saving money. Because on top of that, let's check affordable housing stats

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/affordabl...

Yep, one of the worst in EU, yaay.

Fokamul··on Solar panels at Lidl? Plug-in versions set to appear in shops
And how does it work there?

You have special electric meter and you are distributing solar power into the grid outside of your household?

Or you don't distribute electricity into the grid?

Fokamul··on Solar panels at Lidl? Plug-in versions set to appear in shops
I think this is ridiculous misconception, never heard of that you cannot buy solar panels in EU.

The post is about permission to plug solar panels into your main electricity.

Eg.: Small EU country, definitely not allowed and under huge fines. Without proper equipment, solar power plant license etc. etc.

That's 3rd world country problem, British people (with salary in top places of Europe) must save money!

How is this handled in your country? We're talking only about solar panels which plugs directly into your main.

Because here, small country in EU, this is not allowed since it would mean ridiculous investment into electric infrastructure.

It's heavily regulated and you need special electric meter, license, etc. and still price of electricity is negative in certain times during the day, because everyone who could, got their solar power plant from EU subsidies.

Fokamul··on Neanderthals survived on a knife's edge for 350k years
Seventy years ago, a scientist published a book about Neanderthals. According to his scientific opinion, they didn’t speak; they communicated only through hand gestures and had to go to sleep early because they couldn’t see those gestures at night, lol.

In my country, there is an area with archaeological sites of Neanderthal villages and their mammoth hunting grounds. In one area, there are thousands of mammoth bones. Imagine having only wooden spears and ordinary stones at your disposal. Maybe flint spears, maybe not. In this area, flint is too rare and is mainly used for cutting, because the nearest flint deposit is 400 km away.

Fokamul··on I wanted to build vertical SaaS for pest control, so I took a technician job
I hope LLMs will soon replace all these sales people and SaaS companies. Recreating SaaS product with LLM legally, will be fun during this year and I think it will explode in 2027, also with major lawsuits :)
Fokamul··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
Ok, time for my local AI to do interviews for me. Also, it will do all the work, when working for this company.

True AI revolution. You cashing 10x salaries :D

Fokamul··on Cloudflare crawl endpoint
But think about poor phishers and malware devs protected by Cloudflare.
Fokamul··on Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scripting
There are several PvE UO servers, which are heavily against griefing. So I would say, pretty safe environment to play there with your kids and still with other people.
Fokamul··on Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scripting
Most active is UO Outlands. Several thousands players?

They've reworked a lot of systems and it's basically 100x better than original UO.

There are several systems in place, which original devs wouldn't even dream of and saying that, official Ultima Online is still running. :D

It's PvP server, but with balanced PvP which really works for everyone. Not like original devs, they just dropped PvP because cookie-cutter players cried.

Fokamul··on A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4k Developer Machines
Only positive thing is, only 4k AI bros got infected, not a single true programmer.

Fine by me.

Fokamul··on A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4k Developer Machines
> Hey Claude, please rotate our api keys, thanks

...

> HEY Claude, you forgot to rotate several keys and now malware is spreading through our userbase!!!!

> Yes, you're absolutely right! I'm very sorry this happened, if you want I can try again :D

Fokamul··on Wikipedia was in read-only mode following mass admin account compromise
I'm guessing, "1> Hey Claude, your script ran this malicious script!"

"Claude> Yes, you're absolutely right! I'm sorry!"

Fokamul··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
Banking apps will be catastrophe in the future. Petition your bank, you want to use PC web app with certificate authentication.

If they don't support it -> notify them and change bank. Enough people doing this, something will change.

Fokamul··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
Does anyone know how many binary blobs chips in Motorola will have?
Fokamul··on Claude’s C Compiler vs. GCC
The time will come (and it's not far off) when LLM agents will be able to RE the program and re-implement it just by pointing to the program's directory.

We'll see how fun that will be for these big corporations.

For example: "Hey, Claude, re-implement Adobe Photoshop in Rust."

Fokamul··on Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app
What kind of users are these? Power-users or normal users (Android etc.) or dum..Apple users?

Because in my circle, power-users and beyond. Everybody is angry with apps needed for everything, you want buy bread in store, "do you have our app?" It's a meme here. And in our local subreddit, 600k users. Sentiment is the same.

We also tried to bypass stores apps with generating new accounts and distributing QR/cards for free to everyone. It was kinda popular.

And problems are more real with each day, eg.: scammers have their work way easier, since dumb users can take a huge loan directly from banking app in their phone.

Also small EU country, btw.

Fokamul··on Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app
So weird, why do you need Patreon dedicated app in appstore?

There is really so many people visiting Patreon, only because it's in Crapple appstore?

Or is this because they want to support as many payment methods as possible. And Apple Pay support requirements is to have an app?

Would be great, if they simple take a hit and gutted the app and redirect all people into website.

If they have good PR team, with proper messaging, they could make even more money, since people on Patreon usually don't like corpos.

Fokamul··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
"AI" - "Always Indian" :D
Fokamul··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Using any mobile phone connected to mobile network is breach of OPSEC, period. Even more in countries, where you cannot get anonymous SIM card.

Not using phone numbers in chat app doesn't protect you against someone locating you.

When phone is turned on, even without SIM, your location is saved, in inches. Thanks to 5G.

And some phone turns itself on automatically, lol.

Using laptop (without any wifi card) -> Wifi card (rotating fake MAC) -> wifi network/LTE modem with IMEI spoofing

Fokamul··on Cloudflare claimed they implemented Matrix on Cloudflare workers. They didn't
nkuntz1934 Senior Engineering TPM @ Cloudflare

Of course, this is done by a manager. Classic corporate mindset, I can do what these smelly nerds do every day, hold my bear.

He doesn't even know how git works, huh?

What a clown.

Fokamul··on Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability
Oh yeah, justice in the free and best country in the world. Prisons are hell on earth, so after his release, he will murder first person on sight and he will be back in no time.

So smart.

Fokamul··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
Fun times for IT sec. Prompt injection, not to exfiltrate data, but to ban whole org from AI tools. This could be fun.
Fokamul··on American importers and consumers bear the cost of 2025 tariffs: analysis
"If Americans could read they'd be very upset!"
Fokamul··on Anthropic invests $1.5M in the Python Software Foundation
It's easy to donate, since it's not their money. They are not profitable. Just Nvidia's money, they're paying themselves for new GPUs and datacenters.
Fokamul··on Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
I support AI vibe coding idiots everywhere I go. Please, use more VIBE coding guys.

And no, my work as redteam IT sec. is completely unrelated :D

Fokamul··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
>Your home server's new sysadmin: Claude Code

Lol, no thank you. Btw do your knees hurt?

Fokamul··on A closer look at a BGP anomaly in Venezuela
I wouldn't touch anything US-based with 10m long pole.

At this this, US is basically enemy to EU. Good for us, we will be less dependent on US global oil police.

I hope EU companies will stop manufacturing US airplanes and other things.
