Re: Show HN: Stop AI scrapers from hammering your self-hosted blog (using porn)
I love the insanity of this idea. Not saying it's a good idea, but it's a very highly entertaining one, and I like that!
I've also had enormous luck with Anubis. AI scrapers found my personal Forgejo server and were hitting it on the order of 600K requests per day. After setting up Anubis, that dropped to about 100. Yes, some people are going to see an anime catgirl from time to time. Bummer. Reducing my fake traffic by a factor of 6,000 is worth it.

Re: Amazon will allow ePub and PDF downloads for DRM-free eBooks
A friend of mine received a double shipment for a $300 order. Being honest, he contacted customer service to arrange a return. Everything seemed fine until a few days later when he noticed they had also refunded his original payment. He reached out again to let them know, and they said they’d just recharge his card. Apparently, that transaction failed (no clear reason why), and without any warning, they banned his account, wiping out his entire Kindle library in the process. Amazon works wonderfully right up until it fails spectacularly.

Короч я розумію що в 2025 збори вже залітають вяло, але панове, наступний - прям по тематиці цього каналу, тому я думаю буде соромно, якщо ми його не закриємо)) Знайомі (назву підрозділу не буду публікувати з очевидних причин, але звісно при особистому зверненні…

Spotify подтвердил, что ктото несанкционированно заскрейпил 86млн тректов библиотеки сервиса (то есть все, что нажито непосильным трудом).

Re: Some Epstein file redactions are being undone with hacks
Befuddling that this happened again. It’s not the first time
- Paul Manafort court filing (U.S., 2019)
Manafort’s lawyers filed a PDF where the “redacted” parts were basically black highlighting/boxes over live text. Reporters could recover the hidden text (e.g., via copy/paste).
- TSA “Standard Operating Procedures” manual (U.S., 2009)
A publicly posted TSA screening document used black rectangles that did not remove the underlying text; the concealed content could be extracted. This led to extensive discussion and an Inspector General review.
- UK Ministry of Defence submarine security document (UK, 2011)
A MoD report had “redacted” sections that could be revealed by copying/pasting the “blacked out” text—because the text was still present, just visually obscured.
- Apple v. Samsung ruling (U.S., 2011)
A federal judge’s opinion attempted to redact passages, but the content was still recoverable due to the way the PDF was formatted; copying text out revealed the “redacted” parts.
- Associated Press + Facebook valuation estimate in court trannoscript (U.S., 2009)
The AP reported it could read “redacted” portions of a court trannoscript by cut-and-paste (classic overlay-style failure). Secondary coverage notes the mechanism explicitly.
A broader “history of failures” compilation (multiple orgs / years)
The PDF Association collected multiple incidents (including several above) and describes the common failure mode: black shapes drawn over text without deleting/sanitizing the underlying content.
