- Comment on Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site 4 hours ago:
Unless they can find replacement which doesn’t remove archived pages on request like Wayback Machine does, it’s not really an option to block them. There are entire news sites blocked by Wayback Machine from being archived.

- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 1 day ago:
That goes without question, but my comment was directed at ID services, not Discord itself.
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 1 day ago:
If their claims are true then it would help. They claim that they process everything locally and only sends the check to the server. But again, there is literally no reason to trust any word they say without being able to verify it ourselves. Proprietary systems should never be used for this.
Also their liability avoidance doesn’t inspire confidence. Discord outsources the liability to k-ID and k-ID outsourced the liability to Privately.

Open source your code and then you will have a leg to stand on about trust. Right now it’s just “trust be bro” when you have proven record of beling lying piece of shit.

- Comment on Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware 3 days ago:
The article is clear about that.
In these cases, the company recommends “contact your printer manufacturer and update to a supported printer driver or another current printing solution.”
And that is effectively death for all of them. Most of the old drivers are not distributed by vendors since we are talking about the era when CDs were included in the box. There are archive sites for them, but that is beyond most people technical abilities.
