Building your own module still requires chips! This is just stupid, adding unneeded complexity of building your own when it doesn't solve the initial issue.

I strongly disagree with the idea that some accounts “don’t need security.” Attackers don’t care whether an account seems unimportant; they target anything weak because everything is automated. A compromised “low-value” account can still be used to send spam, spread malware, impersonate you, or post junk that gets you banned. The real danger is password reuse: once an attacker gets a password from a trivial site, they immediately try it on your email, cloud accounts, banking, shopping, everything. That’s how most real-world compromises happen. Even an account you don’t care about still reveals useful data like email addresses, usernames, and login patterns, which attackers use for profiling and pivoting. And if someone abuses your account, you’re the one stuck cleaning up the mess. Using unique passwords and a manager takes seconds; cleaning up identity or account compromise takes days. Security isn’t about whether you think the account matters — it’s about removing the weak link that attackers will exploit.

(*) If it has been checked, and adds something positive to the project. Sure add it.
If its unchecked AI slop the poster needs to kneed in the happy sacks till they learn to do better.

Ie nothing anyone actually wants to look at. The only way to make it interesting again is to ban all advertising!

Attached to: Are AI Web Crawlers 'Destroying Websites' In Their Hunt for Training Data?
depends on your definition of destroying. One large site I help maintain is regularly DDOSed by AI scrapers that take the site off line (at least temporarily). As the a-holes use 1000's of requests per second from 1000's of IP address. I will name and shame the IP addresses. blocks 8.208.0.0/12 47.246.0.0/16 47.235.0.0/16 47.244.0.0/15 47.236.0.0/14 and 47.240.0.0/14 They do not play nicely with others and they ignore robots.txt

The show had devolved into such a pile of shit, I'm indifferent if it comes back or not. Unless they basically fire everyone and start again.
