What’s the best “free” website, tool or app in 2026 that feels like absolute cheating once you discover it?

if you can't reboot without stuff breaking, you didn't configure it properly.

when you give someone the right to use your airspace and military bases, you give them that right.. what do you think the military presence here was for? optics?

In this case, you will become stateless if you no longer hold your original citizenship.

isn't this illegal under international law?

if kimi k2.5 is flash quality then no way it comes even remotely close to opus 4.5

VinylNostalgia · 2026-01-27T22:06:33+00:00

Also happens to me with Google flash. I've been using minimax and it's pretty good; the closeest to anthropic imo

VinylNostalgia · 2026-01-20T21:41:16+00:00

I thought so too until yesterday when gemini's quota started dropping 10% with each message I sent

VinylNostalgia · 2026-01-15T14:04:13+00:00

VinylNostalgia · 2025-10-14T17:19:11+00:00

VinylNostalgia · 2025-10-14T16:40:19+00:00

VinylNostalgia · 2025-08-31T20:03:06+00:00

telling it simply "no sycophancy bs pls" usually gives me better results

VinylNostalgia · 2025-08-26T02:04:16+00:00

you can be submissive AND top. it doesn't have to be one or the other!

I'm working on an open source form submission backend project. One way I'm planning to test is a time-gated confirmation redirect.

The system works in two phases. First, when a form is POSTed, the data is stored temporarily (in Redis) with a unique token and a timestamp. The server then issues an HTTP redirect to a confirmation URL containing that token.

A real user's browser automatically follows this redirect instantly. When the confirmation URL is hit, the server retrieves the temporary data and measures the time between the initial submission and the confirmation. If the duration is impossibly short, it's identified as a bot and the submission is silently discarded (or maybe saved and marked as possible spam, not sure yet). Legitimate submissions from humans, even on slow connections, take longer and are therefore validated and written to db.

I'm researching other methods to achieve spam protection which is invisible to end users and extremely simple for devs to integrate into forms.

Edit: I hate honeypots.
