They do provide deobfuscation maps these days at least

This pretty much solves the problem of too many bots, but only in a way that works with Cloudflare and does not help the rest of the web. They don't mention any possibility of specifying a different platform to route payments through for instance.

I would presume they are talking about how Java is executed by the Java language's Java VM while Bedrock is compiled C++ code?

Another interesting protocol that supports LoRa is Reticulum, which uses an announce based system for bandwidth efficiency instead of Meshtastic's flood based routing.

Executing JavaScript on random pages seems like quite a bad idea, spammers could potentially include links to JavaScript which does resource intensive things, like that small and sketchy trend of including Bitcoin miners in websites.

Technically this is a dupe as this has been submitted twice before in the last week

Game publisher Tencent

Tencent is not a game publisher, while it does have a games division which publishes video games, that is one thing it does, not all of them.

Tencent is a Chinese multinational company that is the largest video games vendor and is also among the largest social media, venture capital, and investment corporations. It also owns the Chinese social media app WeChat.

I'm pretty sure the article is more recent than that... After some searching I found the Conversation's RSS feed for technology[1] which says it was 2025 after searching the page for "internet" and looking through the results

Wouldn't it be a better idea to use the original blog post direct from Lets Encrypt[1]?

Star Trek: Discovery is... Something.

In my opinion, it's one of the worst (non canon now) Star Trek shows but it does get marginally better if you can struggle through the first season or two.

I would not recommend it unless you have nothing else to watch

Odd but still not within the guidelines as

HN users get ornery if you make them jump through hoops

Please make it easy for users to try your thing out, preferably without having to sign up, get a confirmation email, and other such barriers. You'll get more feedback that way, plus HN users get ornery if you make them jump through hoops. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638

Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

This looks very interesting but Show HNs need to be usable easily without making an account

Very wholesome

If it functions exactly as an AirTag does then it would be hard as they would not want to block all previously sold AirTags

I believe the Bluesky posts were organic and likely due to the fact it was a sudden Twitter replacement that at its peak was gaining 1 million users a day.

Meanwhile, smart TVs made by Hisense and Samsung which were tested by Which? asked for people's postcodes during set-up.

I would guess that they would then sell that information along with the IP address to a company such as Maxmind who make IP location databases

zero water ultra-low Water Usage Effectiveness Those seem like contradictory statements. Ultra low is not zero.

I've been thinking about making a Discord bot like bot on Bluesky recently... Embeds can be messed with, like on discord and posts beginning with "#mention /" ought to be easy enough to detect

Would be great if it was possible to get to the page where the pricing was found to make it easier to use the model

Not the author, but on a Pi 5 small LLMs such as tinyllama or qwen2.5:0.5b run at over 25 tokens per second (haven't tested the performance boost with it yet). It could be useful if you wanted a local assistant or an AI server for devices you don't want to run LLMs on

Why not use the entire public key and let entropy do the rest, like the Reticulum Network?

Something else in this space includes the Reticulum Network Stack https://reticulum.network/

I wonder how one would finetune this

It certainly interests me that the website I use to view various headlines just displays 'Company named ">' Nothing seems to happen however

These are certainly good ways to go about it, but https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/connect/ does exist and is completely free and pretty easy to use

This is from 2021¹, so it should probably have a (2021)

I wonder what would happen if I sent a link to a video about the reticulum network stack on LinkedIn...

Meshtastic is very much insecure (except for the encrypted direct messages they added recently) by lacking Perfect Forward Secrecy, has a limit of 38 devices on a network due to its use of flood routing and can only operate over LoRa. I would very much recommend using https://reticulum.network/ instead due to its Perfect Forward Secrecy, it's current implementation supports billions of devices (could go up to galactic scale if necessary with a one line change) and can operate over any communication system which provides "at least half-duplex operation, and provide an average throughput of 5 bits per second or greater, and supports a physical layer MTU of 500 bytes" (rabbit hole warning)
