Doesn’t it actually require you to sign up to an account on some app hosting platform, rather than self host it?

There are plenty of them, just wait!

Gmail labels are great but they’re not universal, and are easy to strip out.

A lot of sites:

• Don’t allow +'s in email addresses
• May let your register but then not login
• Are aware of labels and simply strip them out

I have an email address I have only ever used with labels but still get spam to the non-labeled address. Spammers and email harvesters are very much aware of this trick, so it only works on legitimate sites.

No.

CP Car on the Great Dome Location: The "Great Dome’’ (Building 10) Date: Monday May 9, 1994 (The last day of classes)

Throughout the years, one of the favorite sites of hacks has been the "Great Dome,‘’ the large classical dome that sits atop Building 10. In May of 1994, inspired hackers created what might just become one of the most famous Dome hacks of all time, by placing what appeared to be a real MIT Campus Police cruiser on top of the dome, complete with flashing lights.

The car turned out to be the outer metal parts of a Chevrolet Cavalier attached to a multi-piece wooden frame, all carefully assembled on the roof over the course of one night. The hackers paid special attention to detail. Not only had the Chevy been painted to look just like a Campus Police car from all sides, but a dummy dressed up as a police officer sat within, with a toy disc gun and a box of donuts. The car, numbered "pi,‘’ also sported a pair of fuzzy dice, the license number "IHTFP,‘’ an MIT Campus Police parking ticket ("no permit for this location’‘), and a yellow diamond-shaped sign on the back window proclaiming "I break for donuts.’’

People first began noticing the hack early in the morning, just before sunrise, when passers by spotted the flashing lights on top of the building.

Local people, reporters, and camera crews began to gather around 8, smiling, talking, taking pictures, and just generally watching as MIT Physical Plant began the slow dismantling of the car. Several helicopters even came to look, circling close around the Great Dome.

By 10 a.m., the car was gone — but not from the public’s eye, for the media took care of the rest. Not only did the local TV stations air footage of the car — some of which later wound up on national news — but the AP story (available on the Web to MIT people via Athena) spread to newspapers around the globe, from California to Korea and even Israel. If the hack’s goal was to amuse and entertain — the purpose of the vast majority of hacks at MIT — this hack was among MIT’s most successful.

Here at MIT, students also seemed to appreciate the hack. On Monday evening, a slide at the Lecture Series Committe (LSC) movie read "MISSING: one white and blue patrol car. If found, call x3-1212.‘’ The number is, of course, the local number for the MIT Campus Police.

As an interesting side note, though the television broadcasts reported a wailing police siren in addition to the lights, witnesses at the site insist that there was no such sound.

Sorry Smeagol.

Reddit explicitly allow bots; Spotify does not - that’s the difference.

That would be a completely different piece of software. It didn’t check their pitch or their tonality or their beat. It was barely an AI.

All it did was listened to the music.

So yes if he had written a completely different piece of software that did something completely different he could have pitched it completely differently and the outcome could have been completely different.

Yeah that’s signing in, so your username must match. There are reasons why you should not use sign in with Google, mostly to do with security and privacy. In which case you can sign up for an account using as many or as few dots as you like.

For just receiving mail this works universally.

Fun tip, dots in a Gmail address are ignored, so you can also use firstnamelastname, first.name.lastna.me, or any other combo to receive mail at

Why is this lengthy process preferable to using ublock on Firefox?

Huh. I seeresults for both versions when googling, but it appears it was indeed originally doctor.

Weird. It’s dentist, in the UK. It didn’t click that’s what they were alluding to until I read your comment

Yayyy unsecured connections for logins.

Ratatouille famously did this, with actual scene elements rather than digital watermarking.

There’s a scene with a poster in the background. Every copy of the movie had different digits on the poster, I think with a unique ID for each cinema they were sent to. When a leak came out they could check the ID and know exactly which avenue it was leaked from.

Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex’s server goes down again?

I’m fine with that.
