Huh. I hate it when people do that. Fake/professional empathy/support. Yet others gobble it up when a machine does that.
archive.today and archive.ph (also .is, .md, .fo, .li, .vn) are DDOSing a blogger who investigated them. They could also be Russian assets (js from mail[.]ru).

The term FUD has been around longer & broader than that. But thanks for the explanation.


Thanks, you saved me a click 😐


Worse actually; in addition to the DDOS the person who runs this archive site also manipulated archived pages. All because they have a hate boner for some blogger.


I just found this code in the archived page:
setInterval(function(){fetch("https://xxxxxxxx.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,3+Math.random()*8)+"/",{ referrerPolicy:"no-referrer",mode:"no-cors" });},3000000);
(X’d out actual domain)
That’s a DDOS attack. WTF?
Could you at least share the actual link please?


I hope it fails miserably for them.
That’s not how they think about it. It’s 100% automated, running on generic hardware. If even .1% of targeted customers fall for it far enough to create revenue it’s a success. Just keep it spinning. They aren’t interested in the morals of it at all.
The real problem is that whatever country they operate from does not shut them down immediately, then send the owners/creators to jail.


Just to spell out what many comments already hint at:
There are no US-made routers. “Made” here refers to companies, not where the stuff is actually made. Even if the plastic housing happened to be made in the US for one or two products, the components are still from far away.
Those few US companies paid MAGA for this.
This is corruption pure and simple.


You seem to be criticizing this yet you are exaggerating the situation in a manner that seems to be praising it.


Honestly I have no idea what you’re on about. But this
Open Source have to change.
sounds a bit too opinionated to me, with nothing to back it up. In other words: utter BS.


I am a maintainer of awesome-selfhosted.
Kudos to you then. That list has been my go-to many times.


The blogger hosts awesome-mcp-servers which does not seem to have anything in common with the poopular awesome-selfhosted series except the name.
Not sure where the connection is (the above blurb is not part of the article text). Is it @vegetaaaaaaa@lemmy.world themselves?
And just to clarify:
MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.


You’re probably exaggerating sarcastically?


“Hey, we got this new invention that kinda works if you don’t stress it too much, so we don’t really know what to do with it, but it’s hype so we must include it somewhere prominently. Ideas?”
Like reinventing the wheel, only it’s “intelligent” now.
“But we already have headlines?”
Of course that does not address the economical/political conspiracies involved here.
AI is a scurge on humanity & our environment, and so is Google. Use other search engines.


They probably have a team of idea finders scouring the fediverse as we speak! Am I joking? Who knows.


From the article:
According to the GEC’s published criteria, printer vendors have three compliance paths. They can avoid firmware changes that disable remanufactured cartridges, offer approved cartridge solutions that maintain device functionality, or make remanufactured options available for purchase through their own channels. Each route is meant to encourage a model in which printing components are reused rather than discarded.
So far, more than 38,000 products remain listed under the older EPEAT 1.0 registry, while only 163 have transitioned to the new 2.0 standard – none of them printers.
It’s not binding. Maybe articles like this one will shame hp into stopping that bs one day ☀️ (only joking)


A DMCA takedown, huh? Sounds a lot like what they did with Youtube-dl a few years ago. And ultimately lost. Both youtube-dl and yt-dlp are still (again) on github.


Let me guess: they’re really sorry.
I cannot fathom why such data breaches aren’t prosecuted as crimes of the company as well as the thieves.
This doesn’t happen because the hackers struck like a force of nature, but because the servers aren’t kept secure constantly. Because that would be more expensive.
It’s like a car company getting sued for making insecure cars. It’s not hard to wrap your head around.


Nearly half? Sheesh.
Maybe it’s because most Europeans don’t have a strong opinion about X. I really don’t think it’s quite as popular here as in the USA. Which is also the reason many don’t know how unhinged the current admin is.


🤯 That gave me pause. What made you ask (would non-FOSS even be an option for anything ActivityPub)?
Both are still good and at least openbox has a wayland equivalent these days, labwc.
