We're not allowed to talk about it.

You keep saying that but you're talking about it. Surely there are reports or something. Given the Republican trifecta and all the anti-DEI initiatives from the federal government who is the one not doing the allowing in the first place?

There are four lights.

I wonder if the programmer too got brainwashed-failed in ST:NG

Chinese Civil Defense still advocate making inverted A tent in the ground because first 30 minutes count after initial exposure.

Sonarr could have ignored those EXE filetypes, no?

That is primarily why websites only TLS-negotiates for server-side-only ChaCha-Poly.

How could the specifics of TLS help deter/block bots?

Different Implementation of HTTP requests modules.

I use RAID1 so that each disk can be pulled and used as standalone.

Different platforms Tinker, tailor, ...?

I don't even get that far but get a blank page except for: "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker." They're doing a pretty good job of minimizing their traffic.

That didn't pass the sniff test for me, and yeah it's misleading. Not on your part, but theirs - probably to try to appeal to advertisers. See the fine print on their numbers here. [1] Rather than copy-paste a bunch of stuff ctrl+f there for "The Company includes our digital and print products and related businesses, including:". Those numbers are an opaquely combined total across a whole slew of different services, brands, companies, and promotions. Suffice to say they're certainly calculating it in the way that will yield the largest number that's legally defensible.

Hence my multi-decade long zeal to ban JavaScript ... in web browser.

Edit: I've been getting the "slow down" thing on HN for the last couple of weeks after like five or six messages within a half hour. Not connected to HN through any VPN or obfuscation. It's annoying because it seems to take a solid hour or two (haven't measured) to unlock.
