'evil'/anti artstyle meme! inspired by excessive-moisture's post doing this same thing!!! i showed it to my friends and asked them to give out my own art traits and basically a list of things i should not do.

the result is this art style! soft colors, less purples, very round and soft, thin lines + no line weight, no trademark things like how i draw fur and mouths PLUS slightly different desighs to fit the style more! (for example spamton being drawn more like his shop sprite)

i drew several characters i'm known to draw a lot / mean a lot to me just to see them how different they are from when i draw them normally! HURTS to not have an oversaturated drawing, uegugh.... but coloring was the most fun part! i love working with colors! the worst part was the lineart because i got SO BORED. fun challenge anyway!

little explanations on each character under the cut since this is a multifandom + ocs post and i wanna short talk about my silly guys ever (my, what the kids call these days, blorbos,)

since this has multiple characters not everyone may be familiar with, here's a tiny bit of info on everyone

frostbite = my fursona! they're a bat / dragon mix. they're holding a mango! nothing much to say since they're just my sona. me, y'know?

spamton = you know him! it's spamton from deltarune chapter 2 !! he's a shopkeeper and a secret boss in the game where he appears in his 'NEO' form. he's based on scam e-mails and ads!

my freak of a son = toontown corporate clash oc - he's a goopy low baller that i call my son. or rather, toontown version of frostbite and i call him their son. regular frostbite as shown in this image and frostbite are separate. he was made using one of high roller's attacks.

scratch = my deltarune sona and self insert! they're the fourth member of sweet cap'n cakes. they're a dj! they're inspired by cat headphones, soundboards and karaoke machines! they're who this blog is named after :P

high roller = from toontown corporate clash! he is a cog 'manager' who only appears during a yearly event 'april toons'. she is a show host and a fusion of two characters ('dave brubot' and 'buck ruffler'). it's show is also the boss fight you fight when they're around!

cathal = full name cathal ray toby bravecog aka the multislacker, also from toontown corporate clash. he is a manager you can fight in-game after completing a set of 'kudos' tasks. they are the VP's son and are based on crt tvs! they're known for being 'lazy'.

blank = (full name blank b. addison) a deltarune oc for my big deltarune au named datapack au. he is an addison who got corrupted by a swatchling mask - which is a new concept introduced in my au. he used to sell movie related trinkets and was a stand-up comedian.

Hey! Trying to make this as short and to the point as possible haha, so the name’s Tulsa, I’m 26 and I’m in PST. I can typically reply multiple times during the day and evening and would prefer someone who can at least reply once a day.

Both of my requests are sort of long shots, but here it goes!

- Ouran High School Host Club: I have an oc that i’d love to play against either Kyoya or Hikaru. This would take place in a canon-divergent plotline that includes a hostess club opening up and my oc is the VP/angel type. Sounds weird, I know, but pls just give it a shot 🥺. I’m open for most plots and we can totally discuss more over dms : )

- Harry Potter: I know, I know, another oc that their creator wants to be shipped with Draco Malfoy. I get the cliche, however, the chemistry and angst is undeniable! Shes feisty and curious and maybe even a bit naive, but damnit all if she isn’t there for those she cares about! Enough about my girl though, onto the details! Dont worry, i’ll give you all of her info if we connect!

I do prefer to roleplay on discord (and major bonus points if you use tupper 🫶🏻) so, please either like this or add me there: toxicdeliquency

INDYCAR 101 PART 3 RESOURCE MASTERPOST: a 2023 guide to indycar by @thiemrossi

hi, hello, happy race week! If you want to start watching indycar this season but don't know where to start, this is for you. I couldn't cover everything, so I tried to focus on the drivers because there are so many unrecognized great personalities in indycar. If you have questions about anything on here or other stuff I didn't mention, feel free to ask me, I'm happy to help! This will also be multiple parts, so I'll link them all below

PART 1 PART 2 PART 3

This info was originally on slides, but I am just going to share it as text here. So, part 3 is a "how to find out more" masterpost.

Where can I learn more about drivers? (Long-Form Content)

Off Track with Hinch & Rossi Podcast & Bonus content on Youtube

The Vibe: Long-form, unstructured, casual, funny, feels like 3 friends hanging out & talking

Weekly podcast (Thursdays) with best friends Alexander Rossi (current IndyCar driver) and James Hinchcliffe (former driver, current NBC commentator) where they discuss their lives, IndyCar, & other racing with a healthy dose of banter that descends into wonderful absolute chaos in the off season

Fun for new fans & a great way to get to know two key personalities in the series especially if you listen after a race weekend

But you will miss inside jokes (which make it more fun) if you haven’t listened to the old episodes, so I highly recommend going back and listening to those if you have time

Speed Street Podcast with Conor Daly & Joey Mulinaro (full episodes also on Youtube)

The Vibe: Long-form, semi-structured, funny, honest, & casual but also journalistic

Weekly podcast (Wednesdays) with friends Conor Daly (IndyCar Driver) & Joey Mulinaro (Comedian, Journalist) with commentary and interviews from all racing series

Great way to get to know Conor & the drivers he interviews plus get great insider insight into race weekends

Conor also just talks in a very entertaining way that I find very funny

Dinner with Racers Podcast

The Vibe: VERY long-form, unstructured, casual, personal

Hosts Sean and Ryan get to know various figures in racing through long form unstructured conversations over dinner 

These guys REALLY get drivers to open up & are very funny with it

All of the IndyCar driver/series figures episodes are great I highly recommend them

Trackside Podcast/Radio Show

The Vibe: structured, journalistic, informative

Weekly Indianapolis Radio Show with NBC commentator Kevin Lee and IndyCar VP Curt Cavin with series news and driver interviews (also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts)

They're probably the best series news podcast imo because they discuss things in an engaging way & give info we may not have heard yet

The Marshall Pruett Podcast: This Week in IndyCar

The Vibe: structured-ish, journalistic but can be casual

Weekly updates about the series, answering questions, driver interviews

Marshall has great insight but his podcasts can be hard to listen to because he rambles and talks slow, but the info is generally good & accurate

COMING SOON: 100 Days to Indy

IndyCar Docuseries produced by Vice and the CW following the lead up to the 107th Indianapolis 500 premieres April 27th at 9pm EST on the CW (will be available internationally as well)

Where can I learn more about drivers? (Short-Form Content)

Bus Bros with Josef Newgarden & Scott McLaughlin

The Vibe: Medium-form, structured but casual and fun, essentially a comedy show

IndyCar drivers Josef & Scott try local foods, interview fans, tour other drivers/fans motorhomes, read mean tweets etc.

Super fun for new fans so highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already!

If you want to see drivers having fun & showing their personalities this one is for you

Romain Grosjean Youtube

The Vibe: Short-form, technical, comparative Has a couple driver interviews (Pato, Scott McLaughlin, Conor Daly) but a lot of videos demonstrating technical differences between IndyCar and F1 if that's something you're interested in

All of these are behind the scenes during race weekends

Admit1 with Josef Newgarden You Don’t Know Jack with Jack HarveyPato O’Ward YouTubeIndyCar Inside the RaceArrow McLaren YouTubeJuncos Hollinger YouTubeOutside the Line Andretti YouTube

How to watch IndyCar

United States

 All practices, qualifying, & races available live & on replay with a Peacock subscription

All races (except Toronto which is Peacock exclusive) are also broadcast live on network TV on NBC or USA network

Canada

TSN & TSN+ (this is new I think)

Australia

Stan Sport *looks* to be similar to peacock they’ll carry practice, qualifying, races & replays this season

UK

SkySportsF1 broadcasts most of the races but from what I understand they won’t cut to IndyCar if F1 post-race is still happening & have also heard they sometimes replay the F1 race over indycar :/

According to IndyCar, you can subscribe to IndyCar Live to watch practice and qualifying but no clue how much additional cost that would be or if it actually works

Latin America (except Belize and the Carribean Islands)

ESPN (unclear if they’ll carry all sessions)

Elsewhere:

Check here 

if your country does not have a race broadcaster IndyCar live will probably be available & even if they do, it might still be available to watch practice and qualifying 

Here's NBC's graphic with the race schedule but download the IndyCar app!!! it is the most helpful race weekend resource to have!! It has all the session times & driver radios are free to listen to during races if you make an account!! you can also listen to the radio feed of the whole race (at least in the US) & check championship standings live!! it's one thing this series does right!! download it!!

Thanks for reading I hope you found these posts helpful & if you have questions feel to ask me!

Hi can I ask you for some info? I’m kinda surprised they got invited to this Vice President Event. Don’t get me wrong, I’m elated they were but I didn’t think they were famous enough??? I’m not from US so my perception might be warped but I really thought 911 Lone Star and Tk and Carlos were a bit niche, definitely not the kind of show everyone knows about, much smaller than Grey’s Anatomy or 911 OG or Heartstopper (all shows with queer rep). So is LS bigger in the US than I thought or is queer rep still so rare they invited everyone who plays a queer character or is it something else?

Good morning lovely! I'd be happy to answer.

Now, I'm not an expert so what I'm saying is just all speculation but I don't think it all had to do with level of fame.

The VP worked with GLAAD to host the event so I'm sure GLAAD was the one who invited people. Lone Star just won a GLAAD award, so LS is obviously on their radar and I would say LS is pretty popular. Before it premiered in the US there was a lot of press on it, actors doing interviews and such. Then there were all of the interviews Ronen and Rafael have done to promote the wedding. And they've been on the cover of a few magazines, so they're definitely climbing the ladder.

From what I've seen, it doesn't look like super famous people were at the event. I know some Instagram Personalities / Influencers who are very active in the LGBT+ community and advocate for them. So, I personally do not think that they had to be "famous enough" to be invited. Ronen and Rafael have both had such a huge impact on a lot of LGBT+ spaces.

I hope this answers your questions. Again I'm not an expert, this is based on what I've seen. 💙

Here's info on STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW, the new stage show set in the world of the series, coming to the West End later this year.

Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach. 

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end.

Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring, and Kate Trefry has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. You will meet endearing new characters, as well as very familiar ones, on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the future of Stranger Things. We’re dying to tell you more about the story but won't - it’s more fun to discover it for yourself. Can’t wait to see you nerds in London!”

Sonia Friedman said: “The world and mythology of Stranger Things has enabled a rich and fertile ground for creating an incredible story for the stage. The Duffer Brothers have built a huge global following for good reason, and a world-class creative team has built on their boundless imagination to dream up an unbelievably exciting theatrical event for our audiences. Set within the canon of Stranger Things, this new play opens in London, with the West End hosting the only place in the world to experience this new story – for now. I’m thrilled to reunite with my visionary long-term collaborator Stephen Daldry. Together, with our brilliant Netflix partners, we can’t wait to welcome Stranger Things fans into theatre, and theatregoers into the realm of Stranger Things.”

Greg Lombardo, VP Live Experiences for Netflix said, “Stranger Things has captured the imagination of fans around the world and we are incredibly thrilled to expand this exciting universe with Netflix’s first live stage production. With the creative talents of Matt and Ross Duffer combined with Sonia Friedman and Stephen Daldry, theatregoers will be swept up in a truly epic event worthy of Stranger Things.”

As part of this collaboration, Foot Locker is also offering FLX Rewards members a chance to win tickets to this unforgettable night.

Shared Passion for Basketball

Matt Kobe, Executive VP of Revenue and Strategy for the Bulls, echoed this excitement, noting, "We’re thrilled to team up with Foot Locker to deliver legendary experiences, not just in the arena but in their stores and across our community."

This partnership further deepens Foot Locker’s investment in basketball culture. With recent initiatives like “The Clinic” and the newly launched Foot Locker ‘Home Court’ store in NYC, Foot Locker continues to push the boundaries of fan engagement and sneaker culture.

Hey! Trying to make this as short and to the point as possible haha, so the name’s Tulsa, I’m 26 and I’m in PST. Please at least be 18+, though I would prefer 21+. I can typically reply multiple times during the day and evening and would prefer someone who can at least reply once a day.

Both of my requests are sort of long shots, but here it goes!

- Ouran High School Host Club: I have an oc that i’d love to play against either Kyoya or Hikaru. This would take place in a canon-divergent plotline that includes a hostess club opening up and my oc is the VP/angel type. Sounds weird, I know, but pls just give it a shot 🥺. I’m open for most plots and we can totally discuss more over dms : )

- Harry Potter: I know, I know, another oc that their creator wants to be shipped with Draco Malfoy. I get the cliche, however, the chemistry and angst is undeniable! Shes feisty and curious and maybe even a bit naive, but damnit all if she isn’t there for those she cares about! Enough about my girl though, onto the details! Dont worry, i’ll give you all of her info if we connect!

◢ #unknownews ◣

Zapraszam do lektury najnowszego wydania :)

Wykorzystujesz w swojej pracy serwer webowy NGINX? Co powiesz, aby nauczyć się jego konfiguracji w skondensowanej formie (1h) i do tego za grosze?

1) Dlaczego niektórzy programiści opierają się nowym narzędziom/technologiom? https://www.codemotion.com/magazine/dev-life/hardcore-programmers/ INFO: Artykuł omawia zjawisko 'hardcore-izmu' wśród programistów, które objawia się oporem wobec ewolucji narzędzi i praktyk związanych z tworzeniem oprogramowania. Historyczne uwarunkowania i ograniczenia sprzętowe ukształtowały mentalność tych ludzi, prowadząc do maksymalnej optymalizacji i minimalizmu. Po co komu IDE, ChatGPT to syf, a na Windowsie nie da się programować - znasz te teksty? Być może natrafiłeś kiedyś na hardcorowego programistę. Gorzej, gdy te powiedzenia padają z Twoich ust...

2) Wirtualne pocztówki Airbnb - jak ogarnąć generowanie grafik na ogromną skalę? https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/building-postcards-for-airbnb-scale-dfe0b71b12ec INFO: Autorzy opisują proces tworzenia systemu generowania pocztówek dla Airbnb na lato 2024. Grafiki te używane są np. gdy dzielisz się faktem zabookowania apartamentu ze swoimi znajomymi. W artykule omówiono wyzwania związane z lokalizacją tekstu (dostosowaniem do języka użytkownika), elastycznością projektowania, dopasowaniem pocztówek do miejsc docelowych oraz wydajnością renderowania na różnych platformach. Trzeba przyznać, że całkiem sprytnie poradzili sobie z dopasowywaniem pocztówek do miejsc docelowych, bo nie każda lokalizacja ma swoją pocztówkę, a stworzono wrażenie, jakby tak właśnie było.

3) Kompleksowa przebudowa homelaba - na bogato ;) https://arslan.io/2024/09/10/my-homelab-setup/ INFO: Artykuł szczegółowo opisuje proces modernizacji domowego laboratorium sieciowego autora przy użyciu najnowszych urządzeń od UniFi, takich jak gatewaye, przełączniki, punkty dostępowe i kamery. Autor przedstawia wyzwania związane z instalacją sieci bezprzewodowej w domu o betonowej konstrukcji. Autor dość kompleksowo opisuje swoją konfigurację, co może być dla Ciebie użyteczne nie tylko przy budowie homelabu, ale także przy konfiguracji domowej sieci.

4) Jak $20 zmieniło nas w adminów wszystkich domen .MOBI https://labs.watchtowr.com/we-spent-20-to-achieve-rce-and-accidentally-became-the-admins-of-mobi/ INFO: Artykuł opisuje, jak badacze z watchTowr Labs, początkowo szukający luk w klientach WHOIS, przypadkowo przejęli kontrolę nad starym serwerem WHOIS dla domen .MOBI. Poprzez zarejestrowanie wygasłej domeny odkryli, że mogą manipulować odpowiedziami serwera, co doprowadziło do poważnego zagrożenia dla procesów walidacji TLS/SSL i bezpieczeństwa całej TLD .MOBI. Eksperyment pokazuje, jak nieaktualizowane systemy mogą stanowić poważne zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa.

5) Twoja firma powinna zatrudniać juniorów - oto dlaczego https://softwaredoug.com/blog/2024/09/07/your-team-needs-juniors INFO: Artykuł omawia kluczowe korzyści z zatrudniania młodszych programistów, i to pomimo rosnącego trendu w BigTechach polegającego na preferowaniu doświadczonych specjalistów. Autor podkreśla, jak uczenie młodszych wpływa na wprowadzanie innowacji w firmie i jak buduje firmową kulturę organizacji. Juniorzy nie tylko wzmacniają kompetencje seniorów przez wymuszanie ponownego przemyślenia ich wiedzy, ale także wprowadzają różnorodność myślenia do skostniałej firmy.

6) Samedzielne hostowanie usług i serwerów - a po co to komu?! https://chollinger.com/blog/2024/08/why-i-still-self-host-my-servers-and-what-ive-recently-learned/ INFO: Autor artykułu opisuje własne doświadczenia z samodzielnym hostowaniem różnych usług na serwerach Proxmox oraz na VPS-ach, podkreślając zalety tych rozwiązań. W artykule wspomina on o samodzielnie hostowanych usługach, takich jak PiHole, UniFi controller, TrueNAS, gitea, VS Code itp. W jakim celu ktoś miałby samodzielnie hostować takie rozwiązania i co to daje? Odpowiedź znajdziesz w artykule.

7) Agenty AI - czym one są, ale tak w pigułce? (film, 17m) [autopromocja] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQhSKfzhVnY INFO: Skrót ponad 1,5h godzinnego webinaru na temat tworzenia i zastosowania Agentów AI. Film zawiera demo takiego rozwiązania oraz wspominamy w nim o szkoleniu AI Devs 3.

8) Rola Facebooka w rozpętaniu konfliktu etnicznego w Mjanmie - artykuły/e-book https://swiatczytnikow.pl/meta-w-mjanmie-bezplatny-e-book-o-roli-facebooka-w-konflikcie-etnicznym-w-mjanmie-birmie/ INFO: Artykuł przedstawia przetłumaczoną na język polski serię artykułów Erin Kissane (możesz je ściągnąć także jako e-book w EPUB/PDF) na temat negatywnej roli Facebooka w eskalacji konfliktu etnicznego w Mjanmie. Omawia kontekst historyczny, wpływ propagandy na platformie społecznościowej, a także porusza kwestie braku moderacji i algorytmów wspierających szerzenie dezinformacji. Zawarte treści mają na celu zwiększenie świadomości i edukacji w kwestii globalnych zagrożeń związanych z niekontrolowaną mocą mediów społecznościowych. Nie jest to materiał wycelowany w samą platformę.

9) Midjourney od zera - przewodnik dla początkujących https://promptowy.com/midjourney-od-zera-jak-tworzyc-niezwykle-grafiki/ INFO: Korzystasz (lub chcesz zacząć) z MidJourney do generowania grafiki, ale to, co otrzymujesz, jest dalekie od grafik, na które napotykasz w sieci? Może czas po prostu nauczyć się obsługi tego narzędzia? Ten wyczerpujący poradnik przeprowadzi Cię przez cały proces, zaczynając od założenia konta, a kończąc na budowaniu zaawansowanych promptów i ulepszaniu swoich prac. Poradnik jest w języku polskim.

10) Ewolucja Regexp w JavaScript - jak było i jak będzie https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2024/08/history-future-regular-expressions-javascript/ INFO: Autor analizuje historię i aktualny stan wyrażeń regularnych w JavaScript, podkreślając ich rozwój od czasów ES3 do ES2024. Autor omawia najważniejsze funkcje dodawane w kolejnych wersjach języka, takie jak grupy nazwane, lookbehind czy opcje związane z obsługą Unicode. Warto rzucić okiem, zwłaszcza jeśli nie czujesz się swobodnie w świecie RegExów.

11) Over-engineering - trzeba umieć znaleźć równowagę https://www.16elt.com/2024/09/07/future-proof-code/ INFO: Co lepiej zrobić - napisać prosty kod dla obsługi jednego, konkretnego przypadku, czy może nieco mocniej się przyłożyć i przygotować uniwersalną funkcję obsługującą wszystkie przypadki zdarzeń? Autor przedstawia na przykładzie systemu koszyka zakupowego oraz systemu wynajmu pojazdów, jak mógłby wyglądać przesadnie abstrakcyjny kod mogący obsłużyć większość przypadków zdarzeń. Kluczem nie jest wybór jednego z podejść, a umiejętność znalezienia złotego środka.

12) Milionowe dochody z Github Sponsors - case-study https://calebporzio.com/i-just-cracked-1-million-on-github-sponsors-heres-my-playbook INFO: Autor opisuje swoją historię od momentu porzucenia pracy na etacie do osiągnięcia ponad miliona dolarów z programu GitHub Sponsors. Co doprowadziło go do takiego miejsca w życiu i jakie porady może on dać ludziom, którzy chcieliby go naśladować? O tym przeczytasz w artykule.

13) Zacznij używać własnego produktu! - case study od PostHog https://newsletter.posthog.com/p/using-your-own-product-is-a-superpower INFO: PostHog wykorzystuje praktykę dogfoodingu, czyli intensywnego używania własnego produktu przez wszystkich pracowników, aby przyspieszyć jego rozwój, szybciej identyfikować i rozwiązywać problemy oraz zwiększać motywację zespołu do dalszego rozwoju. Przykłady z PostHog pokazują, jak dogfooding wpłynął na rozwój konkretnych funkcji ich aplikacji. Autor dzieli się także wskazówkami, jak skutecznie wprowadzić dogfooding w swojej firmie, unikając potencjalnych wpadek.

14) Nowa seria modeli od OpenAI - nadszedł O1-preview https://openai.com/index/introducing-openai-o1-preview/ INFO: Model, który przez długi czas nosił nazwę kodową Strawberry, wczoraj ujrzał światło dzienne, a konkretniej mówiąc, jego wersja preview została opublikowana. Ma to być nowy, najmocniejszy model oferowany przez firmę. Jeśli jesteś użytkownikiem płatnej wersji ChatGPT, to już prawdopodobnie masz do niego dostęp. Jeśli jesteś programistą, to otrzymasz do niego dostęp tylko, gdy Twoje konto osiągnęło Tier5 (docelowo mają dostać dostęp wszyscy). Nowe modele (mowa o O1 oraz O1-mini) mają lepiej radzić sobie z programowaniem i matematyką, a także z zadaniami typowo naukowymi. Bawiłem się modelem chwilę po publikacji i działa on naprawdę fajnie, zwłaszcza przy bardziej złożonych zadaniach (poprosiłem o napisanie rozszerzenia do Chrome). To, co mnie zaskoczyło, to brak instrukcji systemowej w API, ale ponoć mają to dodać później.

15) Gdzie trzymać swoje obrazy kontenerów? - porównanie rejestrów https://medium.com/p/f8fda736ca96 INFO: Na Docker Hub świat się nie kończy. Gdzie jeszcze możesz przechowywać swoje obrazy i czym te miejsca się od siebie różnią? Autor robi szybki przegląd różnych rejestrów kontenerów Dockera, porównując je ze sobą. Warto rzucić okiem, jeśli szukasz optymalnego rozwiązania dla siebie lub swojej firmy.

16) Monorepozytoria - 5 popularnych nieporozumień z nimi związanych https://blog.bitsrc.io/5-misconceptions-about-monorepos-fcc284ded064 INFO: Artykuł przechodzi przez kilka najpopularniejszych, błędnych założeń związanych z używaniem tzw. "monorepo" w firmie. Autor omawia problemy skalowania, zwiększony czas kompilacji, zarządzanie zależnościami oraz liczne konflikty przy scalaniu kodu. Jeśli nigdy nie zdarzyło Ci się pracować z tego rodzaju repozytoriami i panicznie się ich boisz, to warto przeczytać.

17) Automatyczne odpisywanie na maile z użyciem AI - case study https://typefully.com/uwteam/6f5IolC INFO: Przykład nieautonomicznego rozwiązania pomagającego szybciej odpisywać na maile. W praktyce odpowiedź użytkownika, mająca np. 3-4 słowa, zamieniana jest na pełnego maila dopasowanego do treści korespondencji, jak i wiedzy dostarczonej do modelu LLM. Nie jest to poradnik, a bardziej wysokopoziomowy opis rozwiązania. Wrzucam w ramach inspiracji.

18) Atak hakerski na POLADA - wycieki danych sportowców i fake newsy https://niebezpiecznik.pl/?p=25960 INFO: Hakerzy włamali się do Polskiej Agencji Dopingowej (POLADA), wykradając dane osobowe i medyczne sportowców, które zostały później udostępnione publicznie. W ramach wycieku opublikowano wiele naruszających zaufanie do sportowców informacji, pochodzących rzekomo z tego wycieku. W praktyce mogły to być działania dezinformacyjne obcych służb. Więcej szczegółów znajdziesz w artykule.

19) Node.js Toolbox - popularne biblioteki Node https://nodejstoolbox.com/ INFO: Znajdź najlepiej dopasowaną do Twoich potrzeb bibliotekę, przeglądając ich wyselekcjonowaną listę, podzieloną na wiele kategorii. To nie jest super wielka baza bibliotek. W każdej kategorii jest kilka (poniżej 10) wiodących rozwiązań, które możesz sortować na podstawie liczby ściągnięć, sumarycznej ilości gwiazdek czy miesięcznego przyrostu gwiazdek na GitHubie.

20) Jak bardzo skutecznie blokujesz reklamy? - sprawdź swój soft https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock INFO: Nie ma znaczenia, czy korzystasz z rozszerzeń typu uBlock, masz w domu własny serwer Pi Hole, czy korzystasz ze sprytnych przeglądarek wycinających reklamy i dbających o Twoją prywatność, to i tak warto sprawdzić, jaki procent reklam jest przez te rozwiązania naprawdę blokowany.

21) Smartfony podsłuchują, a później pokazują reklamy dostosowane do treści rozmowy? - niekiedy tak... https://mashable.com/article/cox-media-group-active-listening-google-microsoft-amazon-meta INFO: Jedna z firm używała w swojej aplikacji aktywnego nasłuchiwania otoczenia w celu lepszego dopasowania reklam dla użytkownika. Nie jest to praktyka powszechna i jak dotychczas ujawniono stosowanie takiego rozwiązania jednej firmie, ale pokazuje to, że technicznie jest to jak najbardziej możliwe do osiągnięcia. Znowu wielbiciele teorii spiskowych mieli rację ;)

22) Hackowanie źle zabezpieczonych bucketów AWS S3 - poradnik https://blog.intigriti.com/hacking-tools/hacking-misconfigured-aws-s3-buckets-a-complete-guide INFO: Artykuł omawia najczęstsze błędy konfiguracyjne w zabezpieczeniach AWS S3, które mogą prowadzić do wycieków danych. Autor przedstawia metody znajdowania i zdobywania dostępu do bucketów S3 przy użyciu różnych technik i narzędzi. Warto przeczytać nie tylko z punktu widzenia pentestera, ale także po to, aby umieć zabezpieczyć swoje własne zasoby.

23) Zarobił miliony na platformach muzycznych - dzięki botom i AI https://futurism.com/man-arrested-fake-bands-streams-ai INFO: Pomysłowy bohater artykułu wpadł na pomysł, aby z użyciem sztucznej inteligencji generować muzykę, którą później uploadował do platform muzycznych płacących za odsłuchania (np. Spotify, YouTube Music itp.), a następnie sam słuchał swoich kawałków, zarabiając na tym kosmiczne kwoty. Jak się domyślasz, nie jest to działanie zgodne z prawem. Grozi mu do 20 lat więzienia. Bardziej szczegółowy opis procederu znajdziesz w linku znajdującym się w drugim akapicie tekstu.

24) Tryb prywatny w przeglądarce. Jak to działa? - fakty i mity https://www.ciemnastrona.com.pl/2024/09/09/tryb-prywatny-incognito INFO: Wokół 'Trybu Incognito' narosło wiele mitów. Co realnie on daje, co ukrywa, a do czego zupełnie się nie nadaje? Jak w tym trybie wygląda zarządzanie historią, ciasteczkami, pamięcią podręczną i innymi elementami przeglądarki? Interesująca lektura.

25) Jak wygląda rynek pracy testerów w Polsce? (PDF, 30 stron) https://cdn.solid.jobs/raport.pdf INFO: Kto jest poszukiwany częściej - tester manualny czy automatyczny? Jakiej wiedzy oczekuje się od kandydata, a jakie oczekiwania stawiają sami kandydaci? To wynik badania przeprowadzonego przez SolidJobs. Sporo wykresów dla ludzi lubiących statystyki.

Może Ci się to przydać do ataków (jeśli pracujesz jako pentester) lub do testowania i uszczelniania własnych rozwiązań (jeśli jesteś testerem lub programistą).

27) Omijanie zabezpieczenia CSP z użyciem Wordpressa https://octagon.net/blog/2022/05/29/bypass-csp-using-wordpress-by-abusing-same-origin-method-execution/ INFO: Content Security Policy (CSP) uznawane jest za całkiem skuteczne zabezpieczenie przed np. atakami XSS, ale jeśli na atakowanej domenie hostowany jest WordPress, to możemy mieć problem. W pierwszym scenariuszu strony niekorzystające bezpośrednio z WordPressa, ale mające endpoint na tej samej domenie lub subdomenie, mogą być narażone na ataki XSS. Drugi scenariusz dotyczy stron hostowanych bezpośrednio na WordPressie z nagłówkiem CSP. W obu omawianych przypadkach możliwe jest skuteczne wykonanie kodu na docelowej stronie.

28) Lista 100 najbardziej wpływowych osób w branży IT - wg Times https://time.com/collection/time100-ai-2024/ INFO: Listę podzielono na kategorie takie jak Liderzy, Innowatorzy czy Myśliciele.

Od teraz możliwe jest korzystanie np. z Llama 3.1, Mistral Large 2, Phi 3 czy GPT-4o w środowisku Codespaces, a następnie deployowanie tak przygotowanych rozwiązań na platformę Azure AI. Według twórców rozwiązanie zwiększy dostępność LLM-ów dla developerów i obniży próg wejścia w tę technologię.

30) Cyfrowa archiwizacja muzyki - to nie takie proste jak się wydaje https://www.mixonline.com/business/inside-iron-mountain-its-time-to-talk-about-hard-drives INFO: Artykuł omawia alarmujące odkrycie firmy archiwizującej muzykę w postaci cyfrowej. Okazało się, że niektóre z archiwów stają się nieczytelne po kilku dekadach przechowywania na dyskach twardych. Właściciele praw do muzyki miewają pewne problemy przy odtwarzaniu starych sesji nagraniowych. Pojawia się nagląca potrzeba wymyślenia metody na długoterminową archiwizację danych.

SourceForge. Autor (współzałożyciel GitHuba) dzieli się swoją perspektywą na temat momentu startu GitHuba i jego dobrego wyczucia co do potrzeb deweloperów. Opisuje również historię rozwoju narzędzi kontroli wersji i wyzwań, przed jakimi stanęli programiści Open Source w przeszłości, zanim jeszcze powstał GitHub.

Shielding Your Shores: Offshore DDoS Protection Explained

In today's digital age, websites are vulnerable to a growing threat – Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks overwhelm your website with junk traffic, making it inaccessible to legitimate users. Offshore DDoS protection offers a robust solution, particularly for businesses with a global presence.

Understanding DDoS Attacks:

Offshore DDos Protection your shop entrance, preventing genuine customers from entering. That's essentially what a DDoS attack does. Hackers flood your website with traffic from multiple compromised devices worldwide, causing a server overload and downtime. This disrupts business operations, damages reputation, and leads to lost revenue.

Why Consider Offshore DDoS Protection?

Traditional DDoS protection often relies on filtering traffic within your hosting region. However, for geographically dispersed businesses, offshore protection offers distinct advantages:

Global Network Coverage: Offshore providers have servers strategically located around the world. This allows them to filter malicious traffic closer to its source, reducing latency and ensuring faster mitigation.

Enhanced Capacity: Offshore providers often boast massive server networks, capable of handling even the most intense DDoS attacks. This ensures your website remains operational even under heavy traffic loads.

Advanced Threat Detection: Leading offshore providers employ sophisticated DDoS mitigation techniques like scrubbing centers and advanced traffic filtering. This helps identify and block malicious traffic more effectively.

Improved Redundancy: Offshore protection adds another layer of defense. If your primary DDoS protection system experiences an overload, the offshore solution can kick in, ensuring continued website availability.

Choosing the Right Offshore DDoS Protection Provider:

Not all offshore DDoS protection providers are created equal. Here's what to consider:

Network Footprint: Look for a provider with a global network of servers strategically located in key regions. This ensures comprehensive coverage for your target audience.

Mitigation Techniques: Choose a provider that employs advanced scrubbing centers, traffic filtering tools, and real-time threat analysis to effectively combat DDoS attacks.

Scalability: Ensure the provider's network can handle traffic spikes and DDoS attacks of varying magnitudes.

Customer Support: Opt for a provider with 24/7 customer support to guarantee prompt assistance in case of an attack.

Compliance: Consider any industry-specific data security regulations you need to comply with, and choose a provider that meets those requirements.

The Benefits of a Secure Shore:

Investing in offshore DDoS protection offers significant advantages:

Peace of Mind: Knowing your website is shielded from DDoS attacks allows you to focus on running your business without worrying about disruptions or downtime.

Enhanced Uptime: Offshore protection ensures your website remains accessible to legitimate users, minimizing revenue loss and reputational damage.

Improved Customer Experience: A DDoS-protected website translates to a smoother user experience for your customers, fostering trust and loyalty.

Global Reach, Secure Access: Offshore protection allows you to confidently expand your reach to new markets without compromising website security.

In conclusion, offshore DDoS protection is a powerful tool for businesses operating in the global digital landscape. By choosing the right provider, you can ensure your website remains secure, accessible, and resilient against even the most sophisticated DDoS attacks.

Germany server

How does a Germany server compare to servers in other countries in terms of performance?

I carefully looked at how well Germany servers work compared to others. With info from reliable sources, we clearly see Germany server are better in performance, reliability, and security.

Germany is known for its strong economy and solid infrastructure. These are key for running hosting services. The country's VPS providers are famous for top-quality stuff and services. They really focus on ensuring everything is done perfectly. The strict German laws mean VPS services are safe and dependable.

When you look at Germany against other places, its tech and internet are ahead. This means servers in Germany run well with little downtime. This is great news for businesses. Germany also cares a lot about protecting data, thanks to laws like GDPR. This sets very high standards for keeping information safe.

Key Takeaways

Germany servers offer superior performance, reliability, and security compared to servers in other regions.

The robust economy, stable infrastructure, and rigorous legal system in Germany contribute to the high quality of hosting services.

German VPS providers are renowned for their commitment to excellence and attention to detail.

Germany's advanced technological infrastructure and high-speed connectivity ensure minimal downtime and maximum uptime for businesses.

Stringent data protection regulations in Germany provide a secure environment for hosting services, benefiting both providers and users.

The Significance of Server Location

A server's place is super important for fast speed and good performance. In Europe, many choose to host servers in the Netherlands or Germany. This is because they are close to many users there. So, websites load quickly and work well for people in Europe.

Also, the type of network a server has matters a lot. In Germany and the Netherlands, big internet centers help make a strong network. For example, places like DE-CIX in Frankfurt and AMS-IX in Amsterdam make sure servers have a fast connection and can reach many networks. This strong network is key for good server performance and dependability.

Proximity to User Base

Picking a server close to where most users are is key for a website's success. For example, if lots of people visit from Italy, hosting the site in Italy may not always help a lot. Several things, like how many stops the data makes and the connections it uses, can affect this. Places with Internet Exchange Points and strong networks can lower these issues. For instance, MIX in Milan and GARR in Italy help make data go faster, work better, and cost less.

Network Infrastructure and Connectivity

The amount of internet a network can handle affects website speed. How fast data moves (latency, in milliseconds) is based on the distance and quality of the path it takes. Service like CDNs from CloudFlare make a site faster by using servers that are closer to users. This cuts down on the time it takes for data to travel, making websites load quicker and run smoother.

It's also important to follow rules like the GDPR when choosing where to put a server. That's because data laws change from place to place. By placing a server in the right location, it's easier to make sure you're following the law and protecting people's information.

Conclusion

Germany's servers can work differently from those in other places. They might have issues like lag and slow registrations. But, Germany is in a good spot and has strong internet connections. This makes it a top pick for many people and companies.

The server issues in Germany are being fixed. Players faced problems like slow game starts but they are getting better. Things like VPNs and adding a new server in Frankfurt have helped a lot. Also, moving some servers to North America made the experience smoother.

There were fake stories about servers being taken during elections in Frankfurt. This was proven untrue, which shows that Germany’s server setup is reliable. Now, businesses and people can find great and affordable server options in Germany. Its location and strong networks ensure a good experience for users.

FAQ

How does a Germany server compare to servers in other countries in terms of performance?

EU servers, including those in Germany, often face problems like lag, desync, and hit registration issues. These can make gameplay unfair during fights. In comparison, NA servers offer a smoother experience with no major problems.

What is the significance of server location?

A server's location is crucial for low latency and great performance. Germany and the Netherlands are key hosting spots in Europe because they're near many users. They provide quick loading times and reliable service for those living nearby.

These countries are also home to big internet exchanges. For example, DE-CIX is in Frankfurt and AMS-IX is in Amsterdam. This ensures fast connections and access to many network providers. The strong, reliable network in these areas helps improve server performance.

What are the key factors to consider for Germany servers?

German servers, part of EU infrastructure, might not always match North America's server performance. Issues like lag and hit registration problems are common in the EU, including Germany. Still, Germany stands out for its excellent network setup and eco-friendly hosting options.

How to choose the best email hosting for a small business?

Email hosting is a crucial aspect of running a small business in today's digital age. It not only facilitates communication but also enhances professionalism and brand credibility. However, with numerous options available in the market, selecting the right email hosting service can be daunting. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of choosing the best email hosting for your small business.

Introduction to Email Hosting

Email hosting refers to the service provided by companies to host email servers on the internet. Unlike free email services like Gmail or Yahoo, email hosting allows businesses to have custom email addresses with their domain name, such as info@yourbusiness.com.

Importance of Email Hosting for Small Businesses

Having a professional email address is vital for small businesses to establish trust and credibility with customers. It also provides better control over data security and privacy compared to free email services. Additionally, email hosting for small business services often come with advanced features and customization options tailored to business needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Email Hosting

Security Features

Security should be a top priority when choosing an email hosting provider. Look for features like SSL encryption, spam filtering, virus protection, and secure data centers to safeguard sensitive information.

Scalability

As your business grows, so will your email hosting needs. Ensure that the hosting provider offers scalable solutions that can accommodate your business's expanding email requirements without compromising performance.

Storage Space

Consider the amount of storage space provided by the hosting plan. Opt for a provider that offers ample storage to store emails, attachments, and other files without the risk of running out of space.

Integration with Other Tools

Choose an email hosting service that seamlessly integrates with other business tools and applications you use, such as CRM software, productivity suites, and collaboration platforms. This ensures smooth workflow and productivity.

Types of Email Hosting

There are three main types of email hosting: shared hosting, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, and dedicated hosting.

Shared Hosting: Ideal for small businesses with limited budgets, shared hosting involves multiple users sharing the same server resources.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting: Provides a dedicated portion of a server with virtualized resources, offering more control and customization options than shared hosting.

Dedicated Hosting: Offers an entire server exclusively for your business, providing maximum performance, security, and customization.

Comparison of Email Hosting Providers

When comparing email hosting providers, consider factors such as pricing, features, and customer support.

Pricing

Compare pricing plans offered by different providers, considering both upfront costs and long-term expenses.

Features

Evaluate the features included in each hosting plan, such as storage space, number of email accounts, uptime guarantee, and additional tools or integrations.

Customer Support

Assess the quality and responsiveness of customer support offered by each provider, including availability, channels of communication, and user reviews.

Customer Reviews and Ratings

Before making a decision, read customer reviews and ratings to gain insights into the user experience and satisfaction levels with each email hosting provider.

Tips for Making the Decision

Assessing Business Needs

Identify your business's specific email hosting requirements, considering factors like the number of email accounts needed, storage space, and desired features.

Reading Reviews

Research and read reviews from other small businesses to learn about their experiences with different email hosting providers.

Testing Customer Support

Reach out to the customer support teams of potential providers to evaluate their responsiveness, knowledge, and helpfulness in addressing your inquiries.

Conclusion

Choosing the best email hosting for small business is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration of factors such as security, scalability, features, and customer support. By following the tips outlined in this guide and comparing different providers, you can find the perfect email hosting solution that meets your business needs and helps you communicate effectively with customers and colleagues.

How Can You Optimize Your Site’s Load Time for Better UX?

In today's fast-paced digital world, website load time is crucial for user experience (UX). A slow-loading site can frustrate visitors, leading to higher bounce rates and lost conversions. Optimizing your site's load time not only enhances UX but also improves your site's search engine ranking. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to optimize your site’s load time for a better user experience.

1. Optimize Images

Images often take up the most bandwidth on a website. To optimize them:

Compress Images: Use tools like TinyPNG or JPEG-Optimizer to reduce file size without compromising quality.

Use Appropriate Formats: JPEG for photographs, PNG for images with transparency, and SVG for logos and icons.

Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading so images load only when they appear on the user’s screen.

2. Minimize HTTP Requests

Every element on a web page, such as images, scripts, and stylesheets, requires an HTTP request. Reduce the number of these requests by:

Combining Files: Merge CSS and JavaScript files.

Using CSS Sprites: Combine multiple images into one image and use CSS to display the desired part.

Reducing Plugins: Deactivate and delete unnecessary plugins, especially on WordPress sites.

3. Enable Browser Caching

Browser caching stores static files on the user's device, reducing load times for repeat visits. To enable caching:

Modify .htaccess File: Set an expiration date for certain types of files.

Use a Caching Plugin: For WordPress users, plugins like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache can simplify this process.

4. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN stores copies of your site on servers around the world, ensuring faster load times by serving content from a server close to the user. Popular CDN services include Cloud flare, Amazon Cloud Front, and Akamai.

5. Optimize CSS and JavaScript

Large CSS and JavaScript files can slow down your site. Optimize them by:

Minifying Files: Remove unnecessary characters from CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files using tools like UglifyJS or CSSNano.

Asynchronous Loading: Load JavaScript files asynchronously to prevent them from blocking the rendering of your web page.

Defer JavaScript: Use the defer attribute to delay the execution of JavaScript until after the HTML is fully parsed.

6. Reduce Server Response Time

A slow server response time can significantly impact your site's load time. To improve it:

Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider: Opt for a hosting provider known for speed and reliability.

Upgrade Your Hosting Plan: As your site grows, consider upgrading to a VPS or dedicated server.

Optimize Database: Regularly clean and optimize your database to ensure fast query execution.

7. Implement Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)

AMP is a framework that creates super-fast mobile pages. By using AMP, you can:

Speed Up Mobile Load Times: AMP pages load almost instantly, enhancing mobile user experience.

Improve Mobile SEO: Google favors AMP pages in mobile search results.

8. Monitor and Test Regularly

Regular monitoring and testing ensure your site maintains optimal load times. Tools like Google Page Speed Insights, GTmetrix, and Pingdom provide valuable insights and recommendations for improvements.
