iirc the bad UA filter is bundled with either base-http-scenarios or nginx. That might help assuming they aren't trying to mask that UA.

Pretty sure expiry is handled by the local crowdsec daemon, so it should automatically revoke rules once a set time is reached.

At least that's the case with the iptables and nginx bouncers (4 hour ban for probing). I would assume that it's the same for the cloudflare one.

Alternatively, maybe look into running two bouncers (1 local, 1 CF)? The CF one filters out most bot traffic, and if some still get through then you block them locally?

There's the clearurl addon that removes known trackers. But you gotta copy it from the URL bar first.

Hush! Don't point it out! Lure him into a corner and steal his time machine!

I would argue that this is something that should be taught in every undergraduate Operating Systems course. But if someone posting it here benefits teens, self-taught hobbyists, and old-timers getting back into the field so be it.

As a counterargument: spend your money. 200 dollars means a lot more to a teenager than a college student (with an on-campus part time job), then when you find yourself at your first full time job you may sometimes be spending 200 dollars like pocket change.

As a result, you will most likely cherish what you buy now for 200 USD way more than what you can buy down the line. That console you need to save up 6 months for right now? It becomes a lot less sentimental when you can afford it every other month. So spend your money on something that you'd like right now. 200 dollars won't change your life in college much, but it can change your life significantly right now.

Epub is also a super easy format to script with, allowing easy parsing of webpages to ebooks.

My suggestion is to get a device that can do the stuff kids want, but just barely do the things they want.

I probably spent more time tinkering around the family computer than anything else as a kid just to get games way over-spec to run on it. Throughout that process I learned programming, hex editing, and some Linux system administration, which eventually led me to my current career.

These days, it's probably a lot easier to get started with a raspberry pi. But without something to motivate people to learn tech, why would they do it in the first place?

I must be dumb cause I still need 3 tries to plug in a HDMI/DP port.

USB B takes 6 tries: first three times in a RJ45 port, then 3 more after realizing I've been messing with the wrong port all this time.

I'm not familiar with the topic but couldn't they cut straight to the source and directly contact Corning? Or alternatively, one of those Chinese high end OLED knock offs? I've heard they're basically less than 1 generation apart in terms of quality.

edit: alternatively, I assume all cables/connectors are standard. What's preventing Jim next door from starting a group buy to manufacture replacement OLED screens/upgrade kits?

Don't have a steam deck, but what I used to do on Linux when upgrading drives is just dd the old drive over. Sure it's inefficient as hell, but with pcie 4.0 speeds You're looking at 20 min to make a byte-for-byte copy of your old 1 tb drive, which you can then extend your partitions to make them bigger.
