now I know!

thank you and your friend for sharing the feedback!

thank you for sharing your research findings! the only thing left is personal review! how are they?

but… but… they started it with the lasers! >:(

/s but also not /s

helpful insights, thank you for sharing!

curious what version of flaresolverr you’re using? I have it running in docker, and although I realize it is a cat and mouse game, the cat seems to be winning a LARGE majority of the time for me, and 1337 is nearly always disabled as a result.

I get the same general message, “challenge detected”, and not able to win. at one point, I looked through the output of my flaresolverr instance but was ultimately not able to piece together anything meaningful (by my understanding).

next time you’re at bat against one of these, you may try moving less diligently / efficiently to the checkbox. overall, a slowed and less exact approach. I’ve not tested this enough to REALLY say it makes a difference, but in cases where I continually fail, going slower does seem to be the time I finally get through.

I find the same for the picture puzzles where you select images that match or apply to the posted context or whatever else the mission may be.

got it! I don’t have that many hosted services, but for my limited external clients that need to connect, I get by with what tailscale has to offer at least for now!

thanks for the breakdown!

let me update my notes… one second

as a general noob to self-hosting, I’m curious about this!

do you run your stuff through a cloudflare tunnel, or have any authentication service that lives outside of your network? something has got to be causing your connections to go out and then back for a cloudflare outage to impact on your own LAN, right?

I am US-based. I have a handful of credit card apps, and a few banking / investment apps - all of them in my experience have worked fine. ONE of them required me to toggle a GrapheneOS option that enables you to exempt certain apps from some of Graphenes more hardened safety measures.

“Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode” is the toggle which can be flipped per-app, and is very easy to access so you can quickly troubleshoot whether that’s related to any app troubles or not.

Similar to the other comment, I also use Pixel Camera by downloading the Google pixel cam APK and installing. I’ve removed all permissions from the camera (and photos) app besides to the camera lense itself, and file permissions of course. You can even use Pixel Cam’s hefty features like unblur, erase me, etc. - though certain ones require you to temporarily give network access to the camera app so that it can reach out and download necessary packages. Once done, you can remove network permissions and the downloaded function will remain functional.

it be available on the seas as well, if you’re sailing

nice try! you can’t prove that I know anything!

I absolutely agree. it was a sort of slap in the face, personally. I’ve been aware of the increasingly awful subscription model take-over of course, but seeing it presented that way and realizing how not-so-far-off that reality may be, finally put some fire behind it for me.

Black Mirror’s Common People episode would like a word

would something like rethinkDNS or some other firewall and / or DNS blocking tool be sufficient to cutting out all of this and still benefitting from the app locally?

yes

are you me? is this my alt account and we’ve got a carbon monoxide situation going on?

could you DM me this signal group link, please?

seems fitting if I were to judge a show by its snippet

what da… is that man full of grey matter?
