Nice. Curious if they will also let Mythos and related LLM's also take a pass at it.

Have there been independent third party code and network penetration tests performed on Stalwart and what were the findings?

Agreed adding more panels would work around the limitation. The reason I ask is that in theory there is room to reach upwards of 48%, the max being reached right now is around 32% and all the panels I can find that are mass produced are between 20% and 22% assuming one can even find the numbers, some companies are making the numbers hard to find. Anything above 22% appear to climb in cost exponentially.

With more panels my setup will be more of an eye-sore, require more and longer cables, combiner boxes and the setup becomes a bigger project. So I am just being a selfish ass but I had to ask where we are.

The price coming down is great, more accessibility to more people. Have there been any significant breakthroughs in overall average efficiency/conversion? e.g. 30%+ Asking for my own selfish needs as I am in a place with reduce sunlight availability.

Too much of that, especially with Opus 5.5 and expect to get the Anthropic Shock collar that will pause your session. You will be upsold Mythos which requires going through their verification program. [1] I can't make it more than 4 hours on Opus 5.5 without getting my session paused for the day and having to start a new one (strictly defensive coding). Apparently their leadership must believe that secure code is a value-add and not a mandatory part of software development.

They have recently enabled it on Opus 4.8 but it takes longer to trip. I get my sessions paused for [cyber] and [bio] all the time which is pushing me towards the Abliterated (uncensored) models Llama-3-70B-Abliterated or Hermes 3 70B, Dolphin, R1-Abliterated.

Why don't politicians care about this?

Because there have not yet been any high profile cases involving the collected data used to embarrass or convict a politician. It just takes one embarrassed congress critter to get a giant red sticker on all these devices, their boxes and ads: "This Device Transcribes and Reports Your Conversations" and that is before including those that upload camera screenshots of what you are watching and video of the viewers doing something untoward.

What pulled me to DNS as a replacement was mostly that DNS is distributed, DNS servers get patched quickly as they are expected to be on the internet and people are just connecting to their local resolver vs. connecting to a port on someones workstation or server. Even if the idea never takes off I could see using it as a niche status update for myself even if nobody ever sees it.

Something ironic about pure text, status info, cgi-bin being replaced

The site I hosted this article on is a CGI script. One day small sites devoid of a CDN could make a come-back but that's a bigger topic that may depend on some societal screws to be tightened a bit more.

iCloud private relay was a blind spot. Working out how to let those proxy ranges in. (I blocked all the CDN's but this is more of a surgical carve-out for specific Apple designated ranges) Extracting those carve-outs now.

Edit: Applied carve-outs for Apple's iCloud private relay proxies. (I think)

If anyone is curious why I have to block CDN's, they permit abusive behavior, abuse of their workers (apps) and other layers of their networks. Maybe in a few decades they will get on it.

Entirely possible. Which countries do you think would be the first to demand censorship?

what ttl would you use for this?

Something low like 60 to 90 seconds should be fine unless they are an influencer, then we could monitor their live stream.

I too am using Firefox on Linux. Are you by chance using a VPN hosted in AWS? I normally let VPS through but AWS has some special abusers that got my attention. I moved that out of the way for now. Thus far 2795 real people and 8888 bots. I have some room for improvement on false positives but we are getting there.

Old versions of Safari could get that. I am being an opinionated ass and practicing hostile security paternalism because the safety and bot-filtering benefits outweigh the cost of supporting old clients. I do even stranger things.
