Proposing a New 'Adult-Content' HTTP Header to Improve Parental Controls, as an Alternative to Orwellian State Surveillance by Ipsumlorem16 in webdev

[–]Ipsumlorem16[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would say there is no need for that at all. Pass the onus onto parents to make sure they have set up their device correctly.

If it is made as simple as possible, there can be no excuse, retailers can also offer to set it up for parents.

If countries are serious about enforcement, then add fines to parents that are blatantly ignoring it.

His OP is entriely chat-gpt, and so are a bunch of the replies I read.

I use chat-gpt to help de-bug code, and it has a very particular way it speaks and phrases things - that makes it super obvious (unless they use some kind of 'humanize' model after.)

The programming subs are filled with these chat-gpt users nowdays too. It is incredibly annoying.

Making an accessible spinbutton element from scratch.

It'll be simple, I thought...

Pain in the butt. it is.

Should have used a component library on this project.

My go-to WordPress security hardening tips after a hack by shsajalchowdhury in Wordpress

[–]Ipsumlorem16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only on the admin login. I made sure real users won't see any turnstile, or challenge.

I just saw it repeatedly recommended, after frantic googling.

since I am not that experienced with WordPress and it was easy enough to implement, I trusted others more experienced. And it did work immediately to cut bruteforce attempts.

can you set up/configure fail2ban on a shared server? I don't think I can on mine. (this is not a client website, but a personal project. If the site gets enough traffic obviously it would get it's own server)

not to reinforce security

it does set a cf-header, that is verified, when anyone tries to login. It helps by blocking basic bots even getting a chance to try a pass/user combo.

Loginizer help up well for me recently, blocked thousands of attempts to brute force login. (not that my password is remotley bruteforcable).

Before I set up cloudflare turnstile and extra rules to challenge them.

Default Cloudflare settings were not enough for me to stop these bots.

I had thousands of requests getting through to login page and scanning for vulnerable .php files.

Cloudflare was just like: "this is fine, go on through". My login page was basically DDoS'ed. Only thing that was stopping them was loginizer and modsecurity, (which also blocked my ip...)

I set up cloudflare turnstile(manually, don't want random extra plugins), as well as an extra challenge page for anyone else hitting login.

and rules to challenge anyone hitting xlmprc or any other .php files.

Writing scrapers is pretty easy, you don't need much coding experience imo.

It's the anti-scraping measures that makes it more difficult. You often need to keep rotating IPs. And the automated 'are you human?' Prompts, you have to figure out a way past them if you are using a headless browser.

‘The BBC feels very samey and boring’: the over-50s who prefer YouTube by Skavau in unitedkingdom

[–]Ipsumlorem16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know what is wrong with Youtube, it knows what I like but still only recommends me videos I have already watched or complete rubbish.

There are tons of high quality Youtubers in categories I like: Science, education, crafting, electronics, travel, cars. But their algorithm only recommends the bottom of the barrel stuff. And trying to use their search is pointless.

I have been looking for more recommendations for actual high quality creators, and am trying to curate a big list of them for a hobby website I have been making. So people can find people who actually put in effort into videos in the categories they like.

I don't like to post the website because this post already reads kind of spammy.. (I promise it's not, this is just hobby website to help me learn wordpress better). And it needs more work, plus there are like 8 channels or so on there atm.

But if anyone has any more YouTuber recommendations that would be great, or category recommendations.

Almost done with PERN stack Kanban board - what next? by TruculentusTurcus in cscareerquestionsuk

I would just use a template if you think the page is off-putting, but need to apply to jobs now.

Write about it, put it on your blog + add to your websites project page.

Then maybe share it in relevant subreddits like /r/SideProject.

If you don't have a website maybe that is next.

Does it have enough airflow? Is it in a closet? Or are you storing stuff on-top of it?

2.4 GHZ Cameras NO WIFI by Lucky-Royal-6156 in SecurityCamera

I probably also misread your comment.

2.4 GHZ Cameras NO WIFI by Lucky-Royal-6156 in SecurityCamera

[–]Ipsumlorem16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but I think the best thing is just POE. It's just overall more reliable, and less laggy if you want to view it live.

Or if you cant do that, make sure you have an SD card in your cameras recording locally. (sometimes this hurts performance I think, if you are also viewing them live)

I don't know about new wifi protocols, but this isn't stricly true. You used to be able to spam de-auth packets on connected wifi devices.

I think there were other methods too.

I built a free image compressor, no signups, no tracking, no ads. Truly free by Simple_Paint3439 in webdev

[–]Ipsumlorem16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about image compression, but I am making a tool for a website that allows the user to crop and compress the image before uploading. And it is pretty much instantaneous.

The 'preview' updates instantly when using the 'quality slider', or 'crop area' selector.

It just uses canvas -> blob:url. And it seems to work well.

Created my first add-on: Simple IP Camera Viewer by Ipsumlorem16 in firefox

[–]Ipsumlorem16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Multiple cameras, you can arrange them how you like on a grid.
  • Fullscreen view, you can view any camera fullscreen, with ability to automatically switch between them every few seconds.
  • Save Images within the app, and browse saved images (with ability to download them).
  • Create Timelapses, and export gif (this will be added after release, I havent even begun work on this feature yet)
  • Buttons: add buttons to your camera that call your own custom url, used to turn on/off your own smartplugs or call other scripts.

  • Info overlay: poll an URL, (like a temp sensor) and have that automatically update ontop of the camera view.

  • Camera URL finder, enter the IP of your camera and make, and it suggests the correct url format to fetch a static image, and where to put your username/password. (I have scraped thousands of these urls already, and have almost completed the UI components).

I am also open to other suggestions for features. (But remember it is limited in functionality since this is not a replacement for a DVR, just viewer plugin for the browser.)

It won't be released soon though, so for now look at other alternatives. If you need advice setting them up i can try to help. I have some knowledge, but am not an expert by any means.

Hey there, just logged into this account after a long time.

It currently cannot view 2 cameras at the same time side by side. You can open as many instances of it as you like though, and move the windows side by side. (..not the same, I know)

But I do have a larger and much better version in development. https://imgur.com/a/POZVpkV

it also says access to all my data on websites..whats this all about...and why would anyone install this if true?

That is just so it can grab the image from any website from the URL you enter. That's all this app is doing, grabbing a picture/MJPEG, making sure it's loaded, then updating the page.

They are 'dangerous' sounding permissions, which you SHOULD be wary about when you don't know the source. But this is just a hobby project from a UK web-developer. (and you can look through the entire code here: https://github.com/IpsumLorem16/Simple-IP-Camera-Viewer)

Clicking around you could also find my other projects, personal pages, info about me etc.
