FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies

  • @sudo yeah, the bot-problem is hard, especially for voluntary that help others.

    they use a proof of work system called #Anubis to fix their #bot problem. I hope it works. #proofofwork

    The proof of work right now needs about 1 second on my phone, so I am happy with that.

    Perhaps the biggest problem of bots is the number of requests they start, which is impossible to replicate by a normal human clicking on buttons.

  • @refalo @sudo If Proof of Work gets widely adopted I foresee a future where bot running data-centers can out-compute humans to visit sites, while old devices of users in poorer countries struggle to compute the required task for hours … Or is that fear misguided?

    • Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers)

  • @LemmyRefugee @DaTingGoBrrr Using Linux for gaming is harder then using it for coding or web-browsing 🌐.

    Especially if you run closed source games like Guildwars 🎮. In my experience open source games like minetest or supertux run better.

    Building vulkan shaders seems familiar: Do you use steam?
