I had some good fun writing non-gaming apps for the
playdate console including a browser [1] and Kagi news
mirror [2] and feel the device has great potential as an
alternative to android/iOS duopoly[1]:

I had never heard of the Playdate but it looks like a
very interesting device... and... I want it? Would you
suggest getting one?
|
> > archargelod
I would've got one if it wasn't so pricey for
these specs.
You can get a cheap Anbernic for 40-60$ running
linux, with decent ARM CPU and a good backlighted
screen.

I was given one and it had some fun gimmicks but
if doesn't really last beyond a few sessions. The
ecosystem is strange and I just went back to a
"real" device a bit after.

Blocking Apple iCloud privacy is pretty extreme.
|
> dmitrygr
It isn't blocked. It is on for me and the site loaded
fine.
|
> > marcosscriven
It was at the time. Now it's loading fine.
In the 403 screen it specifically called out
iCloud privacy.

It's basically "give me your IP address before you can
continue so we can better data mine you"
|
> > as1mov
Yeah, the community run TCRF wiki is banning VPNs
just so they can mine your data along with the
luxurious $400/mo they're getting from Patreon.
And not because they're constantly being besieged
by rampant bots that they have to resort to such
drastic measures.

I don't know anything about TCRF or what they
do as their website blocks me. I do see
trackers from multiple big corporations on
tcrf.net.What bots are using Apple Private
Relay?
|
> > > > Xkeeper
This is fascinating to me, because you
just said you can't see it, but also that
there are "trackers from multiple big
corporations". Can you tell me what those
are?I ask primarily because we explicitly
don't use any trackers, to a degree I
actually pride myself on running a website
that doesn't contact anything else:
https://mini.xkeeper.net/private/C58L77azp
Y.pngThe sole exceptions are YouTube
embeds, afaik. I even switched out the
MediaWiki and CC badges to be local.

uBlock Origin shows nothing out of the
ordinary but Youtube, Google and
Doubleclick, so Google, Google and
Google, and I assume all of those are
due to the embed.
|
> > > > > > Xkeeper
If you mean the block page, yes,
that's just the YouTube embed.
You'll see the same results on any
wiki page that has a YouTube embed
for the same reason; it's not
tracking or anything I have
control over (other than outright
not having YouTube embeds). But I
think if anyone has concerns over
that, they're better addressed at
the local-user level by disabling
all unauthorized iframes.
|

There are lightweight YouTube
embeds like
https://github.com/paulirish/lite-
youtube-embed.
It's lauded for faster page loads,
but it likely has good privacy
implications too since it
basically just loads a thumbnail
unless you click on it.
|

On the " Sorry, you are not allowed to
access tcrf.net right now" page I get
tracked by Google, YouTube and
DoubleClick according to the report by
Safari.I also have 924 kilobyte of
data stored on my device after
visiting tcrf.net without any consent.

Site blocks VPN users.
|
> Xkeeper
Unfortunately true. I wrote about it early last year
here:
https://blog.xkeeper.net/uncategorized/tcrf-has-been-g
etting...The story has not changed much. Every so
often I will remove most of the blocks put in place,
and within a few hours I'm back to having to block
them. Many of the cheaper VPNs are also hosted on AWS
/ Google Cloud / Azure (or other cloud providers),
which are also unilaterally blocked.I would much
prefer we did not have to do this, but it is what it
is.

> deadbabe
This is why you should self host your VPN.
|
> > retired
Does that not defeat the anonymity aspect?
|
> > > DANmode
You mean pseudo anonymity, from advertisers
mostly?
|
> > > deadbabe
VPNs even from big public providers have not
been a reliable way to protect anonymity for a
while now. Use VPNs for cryptographic security
and circumventing region control.
|
> > Retr0id
But where do you self-host it? Most sites that
block VPNs also block VPSes
|
> ErroneousBosh
Many of us only like legitimate users, and therefore
block VPNs.
|
> > lxgr
What makes a VPN user inherently "illegitimate" in
your view?
|
> > > mschuster91
The problem is the whack-a-mole game with
hackers and script kiddies. It used to be the
case that banning known colo ASNs was enough
to get rid of nuisance by STROs, then there
was a flood of hacked routers being used for
DDoS that was really annoying to get rid of,
and then came "residential IP" VPNs and
commercial VPNs, both of which get routinely
abused by AI scrapers and frankly, the AI
scrapers are a worse enemy than the skiddies
of 10 years ago. They ruin everything.And you
as a site operator can't really tell apart
skiddies, griefers, AI scrapers and legitimate
users apart any more.
|
> > > > deadbabe
What are they doing exactly?
|
> > > > therein
Almost as if you shouldn't be banning
users because of their IP unless that IP
specifically has openly attacked you.Or I
guess you can just DENY ALL.

I remember this being shown in Nintendo Power. As the kind

one, and read the article many times.But of course it
never came out.

Access seems pretty strict--403 ForbiddenYou are unable to
access this site.Sorry, you are not allowed to access
tcrf.net right now.If you are using a VPN, try disabling
it first. We block many VPNs because of abuse.If that does
not work, the block may be due to one of the following
reasons:You are connecting using a network we have
blocked.
Your connection is still using a VPN or proxy (incl. Apple
Private Wi-Fi, CloudFlare relays, etc.)
You are a badly-behaving or unwelcome bot (ChatGPT,
bingbot, yandex, etc.)
You are using a badly-behaving extension (eg. Imagus, etc)
that is trying to load every single version of a file in
the background
If you were able to view pages before, and this error
message has suddenly appeared in place of what you were
expecting, make sure you are not running any extensions or
tools that are attempting to download everything at once.
It is possible you were manually blocked, and it might be
removed soon. If not, well, sorry.If this page always
apppeared, there is likely not a lot you can do. If you
are using a VPN, turn off your VPN and try again.Sorry for
the trouble. We have been under a long-running DDoS
attack.

403 Forbidden is just the modern version of blowing

30 out of 34 comments are about the content
blocking.Only four comments are about the content of
the article, and none of them really go into
depth.This has been at the top of HN all day. If
people can't see it, what gives?
|
> > Bratmon
People who can see the article can see that it's
incredibly mid and not worth commenting on.But for
people who can't see the article, it could be
anything! For all they know, they're being kept
out of the greatest content of all time!
|
> > Xkeeper
From my logging, most people can access it just
fine.As for "what gives", I have no idea. The
article itself isn't interesting and doesn't
contain much of value; the "game" itself is what
is interesting, but that's not what the article is
there to cover.So my guess is it's just only the
people who can't see it, because for others
there's not really much to discuss. I don't know
why this was even posted here, to be honest.
