If you are in the scene long enough, you should have known that there are some uncooperative clients that always send 0% (Xunlei being one of the more notorious example with their VIP schemes, and later on they would straight up spoof their client string when people started blocking them). Being a leecher nowadays is almost a norm for a lot of users, and I don't blame them since they are afraid of consequences in a more regulated jurisdiction. But a must seed when leech requirement? Hoho no, that's more like a suggestion.

LINE is a communication software that is predominantly used in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia(maybe others? South Korea?). It is clunky, buggy, files expire fast, can't upload for a lot of extensions, only login-able on 1+1 devices (phone+computer). And people still use it, also there is no avoiding it if you want to get anything official done around these parts. I do see youngsters using Instagram and Threads, and a bit of Telegram sprinkled here and there but that's it. You want to get the job done, you use LINE. It's THE communication app.

Wow! I never knew things like this existed! I always used wget (full below) but nowadays seemingly all sites are behind cloudflare so I need to pass a cookie too.

Glad to see easier methods!

  wget \
     --header "Cookie: <cf or other>"
     --user-agent="<UA>"
     --recursive \
     --level 5 \
     --no-clobber \
     --page-requisites \
     --adjust-extension \
     --span-hosts \
     --convert-links \
     --domains <example.com> \
     --no-parent \
         <example.com\sub>

I can't recommend enough of the spiritual successor to Vanced since the article briefly mentioned that. It's called Revanced. It requires more hoops than usual but I'm sure the intelligent folks here won't have a problem with that. It's on Github. Other results are probably fake.

This script sometimes break the normal flow of interactive type pages, so I don't think it is that applicable to all pages. Great thinking though!

For a circumvention method, I suggest using the following script

javascript:var r="html,body{overflow:auto !important;}"; var s=document.createElement("style"); s.type="text/css"; s.appendChild(document.createTextNode(r)); document.body.appendChild(s); void 0;

I bookmarked the script and click it whenever uBo blocks the site popup but not enabling the scroll. It works most of the time in my quite long usage.

Though I agree that we have a bigger problem than the scrolling on hand.

In the Chinese world, it's still called the equivalent of 2D code in Chinese(二維碼/二维码). The original variant QR Code(QR碼/QR码) are used but to the best of my knowledge they are quite mixed together in terms of usage.

I think the mainland Chinese are more inclined to 2D code by the interactions with them in the past.

You're correct about the internet stucked the past, but for a lot of places in the world even with a lot of money you won't get fast speeds! My hometown is only getting 100/25Mbits max after the previous max 30/5Mbits 2 years ago!

It's not like we don't have the money, I bought a 10900k and 2080 super for my brother back then, it's just that the speed is unavailable. A "git gud" simply don't do that justice.

And so I keep a friend list that are really my friends and acquaintances on my Facebook.

I know when I'm talking to a friend that is really the person(no adding from online, only when face to face asking), and my online acquaintances from ye olde golden days are pretty locked in, and are currently good friends IRL too.

I immerse myself and build my own networks from physical contacts since. Now social medias is only a tool that can let me easily contact with them, and I have their phone number and email addresses as a backup.

I turn off every single setting I can find regarding content(ads, if you want) customization. I used FBP on my Facebook to automate that process too. I use firefox with uBo on my phone to filter the ads. Only Messenger Lite remains. Now Facebook can't draw me into their death spiral of content bombarding anymore.

I feel happier than before.

Ah, the good ol "A(G)I will arrive in 10 years!" --For the past 50+ years, basically.

It's a cautionary tale to people who are working in ML to be not too optimistic on "the future", but in my opinion being cautiously optimistic(not on AGI though) isn't harmful by itself, and I stand by that. Well at least until we hit the next wall and plunge everyone into another AI winter(fourth? fifth?) again.

As a plus, we do actually see some good progress that benefited the world like in biotech. Even though we are still mostly throwing random stuffs at ML to see if it works. Time will tell I guess.

Ditto about the CUDA and cuDNN part. My project that was running fine for the past 4 years just "died" after a colleague's oversight on upgrading the GPU(1080Ti -> 3090) which isn't compatible with the new cuDNN. It is just too much of a hassle maintaining that *expletive* jargon so I did the wise decision to kill it.
