and mail.ru is not even a real internet service:

> Please enter the phone number you'll use to sign in to Mail instead of a password. This is more secure.


Mail.ru is more than real, there is just a trend to move away from passwords because they are not secure when used by ordinary people and can be stolen with a keylogger. So Russian services move to SMS codes, mobile apps or government services for authorization. Also it is a legal requirement to implement a system that doesn't allow anonymous registration, not linked to real identity.


> the biggest concern of the decade is that some stupid autocomplete can violate your license which never existed in the first place

this is why hapas are superior to wh*tes.


> Practically, we need ideas like to 2FA to gain tractionas widely as possible, while realising that isn't everywhere.

thats just one opinion on security. you see this world where google is an identity provider, and you prove your identity to it via a librarian or bank. i dont. an internet service should absolutely never require any form of government id nor separate network like cell.


You're failing to read my argument: for some people normal 2FA is too hard, and they need help from a local organisation.

But not for ALL people. Just for the people who need it.

You keep using TOTP and GPG email all you want, just don't get in the way of them getting basic services like social security.


you just backed off and said that the thing i responded to is an auxiliary point then your last sentence just retakes the position you backed off from by reclaiming that the auxillery point is true

shut the fuck up. of course someone named octect is the most braindamaged fuck on earth.


what absolute outrageous absurdity as usual. america is a fucking cesspool

> In a detailed ruling, Judge Stefan Underhill concludes that the service failed to show that it doesn't circumvent YouTube's technological protection measures.

this is saudia arabia tier nonsense. why do these anti piracy articles always mention circumventing a "protection"? how can a news outlet echo this and not bat an eye? this makes me think all the people who support this law are frothing pointy haired scum that think everything should just be their way, mixed with idiots who buy into their arguments like "a protection was circumvented!". im not paying tax money to protect your absolute garbage media making $5 more from blocking piracy. you do not have the right to exist, its a privilege if anyone buys your shit (and we know well that lots of idiots are buying pop media regardless of piracy)

and what music industry? i didnt think such a thing still exists after 2010

also, youtube is unusable garbage, solely because it forces me to use their non-working in browser viewer instead of real software.


>youtube is unusable garbage

I don't know what you're talking about. I use youtube all the time in Firefox with ublock origin and sponsorblock. It's an amazing service.

i have never had a site hacked and i dont even know or care if its being attacked - just dont litter it with rce vulns. if its being ddosed on the other hand, then use an anti ddos solution but your post is such corpo bullshit that i cant even tell if its talking about defending against ddos or defending against hacks (which you cant defend against, they will get around your filters within 5 minutes of playing around).


I saw the OP comment and assumed it was someone smugly putting aside DPRKs leaders problems and talking about his virtues.


cloudflare as of this month shows propaganda on the captcha page, like "40% of the internet was historically bots" (as if that matters). it actually fits right in with, the common sentiment that the old internet was bad, welcome in the new internet where nothing is allowed unless it's a legitimate commercial use. this is getting out of hand.


It seems that bot scalpers are considered to public enemy now. Perhaps they piggyback on the situation.


yes i didnt think theres a way to do this without hacks. unportable and fragile as expected.


nope if you use tor without tor browser you still get the captcha (one for the main domain of the site, then you have to find the cdn subdomain and open that and solve a separate captcha).

> bad traffic (about 20% of requests to my sites)

i have ran many websites too and have not needed cloudflare to deal with that "problem"


the same way it worked before cloudflare.


worked so well cloudflare came into existence and nigh-obsoleted it
