I finally found a cheap way to circumvent AI skimmers

I finally found a cheap way to circumvent AI skimmers https://ift.tt/CkTBQ7m It is called Anubis. It doesn’t require some complicated CAPTCHA, nor does it cost literally any amount of money. It’s open source and available on GitHub. Now, the interesting part about this skimming circumventer is how it works. In fact, it doesn’t do any of that stuff that the typical anti-bot website addon requires, such as asking the user to do some annoying test of vision that also secretly tracks clicks and mouse movement (or taps if it detects the connected client is a mobile device via the User Agent sent by the browser) to decide whether or not you’re a bot. It’s actually really simple. Instead, it just does some math. Not math as in stuff that watches your every move and calculates some garbage. Hell, I’m pretty sure it lets the skimmers right in without doing some block or whatever. It just does some really complicated math with some really big numbers, and the math usually varies each time you visit. See, for normal users, this isn’t a problem. Maybe just an extra half a second or two of the page loading—no big problem. But when you’re running a big database with tons of computers skimming every page on a site, the extra money that costs piles up, and quick. Especially if your site has over a hundred pages and tons more links that lead to repetition. This usually deters the person managing the skimmers or AI from, well, skimming your site, often trying to steer away from it instead. That means your work (probably) won’t be used as often by people putting together AIs or large masses of data! Even better, you can give a big middle finger to search engines like Google and Bing that really aren’t that good!

Hacking Switch GameShare

Hacking Switch GameShare https://ift.tt/jLzPJOS Hi everyone!! This is gonna be very rushed because I just got the idea fresh on my mind and I don't have the time to write a full blog post, but I swear it'll be worth it. So, the most recent Switch update included a new GameShare feature, intended on connecting the soon-to-be Switch 2 with the Switch 1. I heard that they recently patched a critical system bug caused by GameShare in update 20.0.0. This has me wondering—if that bug was there, what other bugs are there? GameShare sounds like a jackpot to me. It's literally just wirelessly executing code on a Switch. Very recent update, there's bound to be glitches. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if this GameShare feature had encryption or some other key. But I bet you that Switch modders will persevere and find a way to get around that, just like how 3DS modders, Wii U modders, and Wii modders got around other blocks. Once the key is found or something, you can basically just execute code. Doesn't matter the system model you're on, what region you are in, or anything else. Once you've got the key, you can execute code, and now mod your Switch. It sounds pretty simple to me. Let me know (in these comments) if this is possible, and remember to let yourself know to tune in to the CheeseBlog for more tech related posts.

Worldcoin solves a problem that didn't exist

Worldcoin solves a problem that didn't exist https://ift.tt/uh07C9b You ever hear about a company so convinced of its own importance that it builds an entire multi-million dollar product just to "solve" a problem it basically invented? Yeah. Welcome to Worldcoin. So here’s the pitch: spend hundreds of dollars on a futuristic orb with a built-in iris scanner that allegedly proves you're human—because, apparently, CAPTCHA and fingerprint biometrics just aren't cutting it anymore. They say: “Bots can identify objects now! Click buttons! They’re evolving!” No kidding. But here’s the thing: CAPTCHA was never just about identifying objects. It was about how you interact with the interface. The way you move your mouse, the tiny hesitations, the imperfect curves, the weird human flaws—that's what sets us apart from bots. Not just clicking a picture of a moped. CAPTCHA tracks behavior. Bots are still hilariously bad at behaving like actual people. That's why it works. Is it perfect? Nah. But it’s free, widely supported, and doesn’t need you to stare into the Eye of Sauron just to post a YouTube comment. But here comes Worldcoin, acting like we've all been living in CAPTCHA hell, suffering, begging for a solution. And their big solution? A damn orb that records your biometric data, stores it somewhere you’ll “totally not worry about,” and ties it into a crypto wallet. Oh, and Sam Altman’s involved. You know, the same guy already working on AI that's smart enough to fake being human—and now he's trying to sell you a product that detects if you're human. Yeah, makes perfect sense. Worldcoin is literally solving a problem that nobody had, using tech that nobody asked for, in a way that nobody trusts. Save your money. Save your eyes, humanity, and most importantly, your brain so that you can tune in to the CheeseBlog for another post. Cya! via CheeseBlog https://ift.tt/lFouZvS May 01, 2025 at 04:40PM

Modded Discord clients are epic

Modded Discord clients are epic https://ift.tt/lHh5EQR We all know what Discord is, but I want to talk about the modded clients. There’s so many of them. Wait, did you say you don’t know what Discord is? Seriously? Fine, I’ll explain. What’s Discord? Most of you probably know what Discord is, so if you do, skip past this section. If you don’t, stay. Discord is a multi-platform rich messaging app. Many of its features include servers (like a group chat but it allows more people and there’s multiple of these things called channels that are usually used for categorizing chats and media), group chats, profile customization, markdown and multimedia support, etc. If you wish to read more on it, just check out its homepage here or read the Wikipedia page here. Modded clients? What? Yes, modded clients. This can range from modified desktop clients to modified web clients all the way to modded mobile clients. These modded clients add features to Discord that make it more useful or stylish. In this post is essentially just going over a few and what makes them special. Okay here’s the list Vencord/Vesktop Vencord is one of the most used clients for Discord when it comes non-vanilla ones. It features a large variety of themes, which can be used to style Discord in ways that aren’t the basic dark and light themes and forgotten Nitro themes. It also has a wide range of plugins, which are used to extend functionality past what Discord officially offers and what Vencord adds. There isn’t really much special about Vencord aside from its popularity and large range of plugins and themes to use. Oh, and if you were wondering what Vesktop is, it is just a more optimized version of Discord with Vencord pre-injected, because otherwise you would have to install the normal Discord executable, install it, and then inject Vencord. You can check the GitHub link here. Aerochat Aerochat is just normal Discord, but with a twist. It looks nearly identical to Windows Live Messenger 2009 (also known as MSN Messenger). It has support for normal DMs, group chats, and even servers. It is still in development, though, and many features in normal Discord are missing because this client is being built from the ground up and is not based on the official Electron app Discord released. For the code, you can, once again, check the GitHub here. BetterDiscord BetterDiscord is one of the older Discord mods. It is very similar to Vencord, except that it is more popular, older, and doesn’t have cats everywhere. It supports both Windows and OS X. Otherwise, it is a very cool project, like all of these. For code, installation, and more, check the GitHub. Conclusion All of these clients are great clients, but they aren’t the only options. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog post.

Massive PrizVideo Update!

Massive PrizVideo Update! https://ift.tt/qU8cDQr I know that despite what I said in my original post, this blog hasn’t really been a place for updates on PrizVideo. But guess what? This entire post is about it! Let’s dive head first into this topic. Recap/What is PrizVideo? If you somehow stumbled upon this blog without knowledge of PrizVideo, here’s the summary: PrizVideo is an open-source, ad-free, privacy based video broadcasting platform. It aims to have a user-centered experience. That means none of the annoyances, such as ads or annoying popups. However, it aims to do more than that. It also promises for there to be NO third party trackers or selling your data. The data is does collect is only used for your feed and a rough estimate of popular topics or the amount of users on PrizVideo. Did I mention it is open source? You can find the GitHub and website links here: https://github.com/PrizVideo https://prizvideo.github.io Okay, now lets talk about what I actually mean to talk about. What is this so called “massive update”? Okay, maybe it isn’t a massive update, maybe I was just using that wording for people to read my newest blog post (although you are welcome to read my older ones by all means, I preserve the content I make). The new update features even more enhanced security, various bug fixes, and now, PERSISTENT LOGINS! I know it doesn’t seem like a lot, but everything here is a step in a journey, and I want everyone reading this to be a step in that journey. And why should I care? I believe that anyone who reads my blog is either someone I know or I work with, someone related to me, somebody I shared the link to, or the most unlikely one, someone who found my blog through a search engine. And do you want to know why I doubt that? I doubt that because I have tried to find my blog through Google, Brave Search, DuckDuckGo, even Yahoo, but it was to no avail. Anyways, backstory aside, I hope you enjoyed this blog post, comment if you like blogs more centered around this style, and make sure to tune in to the CheeseBlog for another post.

Why Windows 7 is better than newer Windows versions

Why Windows 7 is better than newer Windows versions https://ift.tt/EW8aJfH Hi, everyone. I know I’ve slowly been posting less and less, but that’s just because of a bad schedule. But now, I’m back. I’m back and I can give you all a new post. I hope you all enjoy it, and let’s get right in to it. UI Windows 7 is known for having simplistic but good  UI. People have adored the Aero aesthetic. The Aero aesthetic is even starting to return because people love it so much. It has an intuitive ribbon UI seen all across the operating system. It also has the traditional start menu, something Windows 8 and 8.1 cannot say. The UI is quick and snappy, which brings us to the next section. Speed Windows 7 is incredibly quick and snappy. Even on bad hardware, it still manages to pull through and do most tasks fairly quickly. On good hardware, it can pass the test of speed with flying colors. It loads IE, explorer, and most common apps well, which makes sense, as they are mostly simple apps, but for daily use, it’s good. The speed could be because of a lack of clutter, which I’m going to bring up soon. Clutter Windows 7 and clutter should not be in the same sentence. It only has the absolutely necessary apps, such as a calculator, a word pad (a rich note and documents app, kind of like a Lite version of MS Word), a web browser, a widget app, etc. If you ever feel something is missing or needed, just download it online! New web browser? Find it with IE. Want a game or two? Just go and download Steam, or go to itch.io for web games or free download games. An upside of having no clutter is a big bump in speed. However, if you want to declutter on Windows 10, 11, or even 8, you have to forcibly go through a complicated process to get rid of a few bloatware apps. Overview Windows 7 may seem to be out of date by many people now, but that does not deny any of the points I have made. In my opinion, it is arguably one of the best Windows operating systems to this day, and many people would agree with me. Most of the points made in this post cannot be applied to Windows 8, 10, or 11, which is honestly such a shame, similarly to how it is sad that not that many apps support Windows 7 anymore. I hope you all enjoyed this blog post, but for more like this, make sure you tune in to the CheeseBlog soon for another post. Cya! Note: This entire blog post was made with Windows Live Writer, tell me if anything is off about the post’s styling, this way of creating posts is simple and quick, so I prefer it.

The Rise of AI-Assisted Coding: A Double-Edged Sword?

The Rise of AI-Assisted Coding: A Double-Edged Sword? https://ift.tt/V1QeRwG AI tools like GitHub Copilot and TabNine are revolutionizing coding. They can autocomplete entire functions, suggest logic, and even help debug. But is this good or bad for developers? Pro: Speed and efficiency. AI reduces repetitive tasks and makes coding accessible to beginners. Con: Over-reliance on AI could mean less understanding of the codebase and a loss of foundational skills. As a developer, I’ve tested Copilot, and while it’s helpful, I see it more as an assistant than a replacement. It’s a tool—not a crutch. What’s your take on this growing trend? That’s all for now! Don’t forget to check out the CheeseBlog for more tech trends and insights. Cya!   [upload on 11/24/24] via CheeseBlog https://ift.tt/93vlF8Y November 17, 2024 at 12:12PM

Exploring the Magic of JavaScript Frameworks

Exploring the Magic of JavaScript Frameworks https://ift.tt/RPN8mTg JavaScript frameworks have come a long way, transforming how we build web applications. But with so many options—React, Vue, Angular—it can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick breakdown: React: Great for component-based architectures. Ideal if you’re looking for flexibility and a massive community. Vue: Lightweight and approachable, perfect for small-to-medium projects without the steep learning curve. Angular: A full-blown framework, best suited for large-scale applications requiring structure and robust features. For developers, picking the right framework depends on the project’s needs. Personally, I lean toward Vue for its simplicity, but I’d love to hear what you’re using! That’s it for today! Make sure to tune in to the CheeseBlog for more programming insights and tech updates.
