That's because you do have the most common stuff: that's a choice. You could have a less common smartphone (iPhone SE? Fairephone?), audiophile headphones (Denon? Kef?), ... that would be more personal and better choice.

It would be nice if it was easy to "place the HTML where it belongs", but in a complex app it's never just-replace: you have to preserve a lot of state, wether it is filters, forms, user selection, scroll position, ... so updating live becomes quite a huge work.

I've seen good attempts with libraries like idiomorph, but still quite some plumbing to do depending on the app.

Unique IPs is not something AI can generate easily, and blocking IPs in general is not efficient.

The big problem with AIs is that they can try new paths/payloads very easily, adapt quickly, I'd be more worried about that.

Nice! I was really missing working examples when I replaced an MPC by the lower-level Network, not an easy task, but it provides huge improvements

Even the good teams may make bad choices, that's why it is interesting to read their ideas and discuss them

The wikipedia article says "While animals have lived in the cave for 5.5 million years, not all of them arrived simultaneously. One of the most recent animals recorded is the cave's only species of snail, Heleobia dobrogica, which has inhabited the cave for slightly more than 2 million years."

It's still very niche though, I bet not a single youtuber or OF-girl known they use it

The reason this is interesting is that it allows to go further into the target system if you already have a frontend vulnerability

Trying to prevent someone from having something they want is the best way to make them work twice harder to get it.

The lowest prices are for hardware much more than 4 years old though: take OVH's Kimsufi, they use CPUs that first launched in 2015, 2017, 2018, ...

gregoriol — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:50:27 +0000

Having seen shows with super-premium prices at the front, with half the place being non-reactive to the show because people paying extra are not actually huge fans but huge wallets, yeah you need to put down prices and get those front tickets to fans if you want to have nice shows

So 50 years ago people who created calculators were at fault for people not calculating from memory? or 100 years ago people who created engines were at fault for people not doing manual labor anymore?
