    Who is by far the worst spamming tumor? Sure enough they'd love to get some "vulnerability info" emails from CC. Probably they would react tenderly and very sensibly too ...

    Was there a newsletter optiom in LET? I just noticed this, and I'm pretty sure this wasn't here the last time I came to LET. Does this have something to do with this thread?

    Run this on your browser console to play some game with the new panel:

    (function() {
        var elSide = document.querySelector('.sidebar_newsletter');
        var elButton = elSide.querySelector('.submit_field');
        elButton.innerText = 'Unsubscribe';
        elButton.style.position = 'absolute';
        elButton.style.zIndex = 1e7;
    
        var size = elButton.getBoundingClientRect();
        var width = size.width;
        var height = size.height;
        var currentX = 0;
        var currentY = 0;
        elSide.style.marginBottom = height + 'px';
    
        elButton.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() {
            var deltaX = randBetween(width / 2, width) * randSymbol();
            var deltaY = randBetween(height / 2, height) * randSymbol();
            currentX += deltaX;
            currentY += deltaY;
            elButton.style.transform = 'translate(' + currentX + 'px, ' + currentY + 'px)';
        });
    
        function randSymbol() {
            return Math.random() < 0.5 ? -1 : 1;
        }
    
        function randBetween(min, max) {
            return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
        }
    })();
    

    EDIT: In case someone is wondering what this does, every time you want to click on that Unsubscribe button it will prevent you from clicking it by moving away

    Thank you. This code is a perfect reminder of the low level reached by CC in LET management.

    Now, how do I make this permanent, for every page of LET?

  • I think I've done something right in my 6 odd years here.

    Not a single colocroxxin email in my inbox.

    If it looks too good to be true, it's probably CC.

    @deank never wanted to be the chosen one. He is just a prophet for the coming days, a herald if you may, living a life in humbleness and repentance for a constant reminder that "nothing lasts".

    Whoever receives the message of CC, is marked to be a witness of the end, embracing the number of the beast.

    Thank you. That helped. Now I can not possibly click the Subscribe button. That was a very dangerous feature of LET.

  • For those of us already blocking their worthless ads, add:

    ##div.BoxDiscussionFilter.BoxFilter:nth-of-type(3) to uBlock Origin. All gone!

    So does uBlock, and you don't need to run arbitrary code outside of the browser.

    Oh, I thought you were talking about mobile.

    I use uBlock on my laptop and PC but it’s not currently available for iOS :/

  • If you block it with uBlock it has no charm. The "Unsubscribe" button from @FAT32 is a constant reminder of what CC did.

    Pi + pihole for local network

    It runs on my home server with queries going to 8.8.8.8. As for my phone, it isn’t practical to have a VPN setup just for adblocking.

    You paid $600 for iOS. What the hell is a VPN atop of that?

    Put one of those idlers to good use. Wireguard is relatively new as far as VPN software goes but quickly heading towards being integrated in the mainline kernel. Extremely lightweight and Linus had good things to say.

    http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1808.0/02472.html

    Support for Windows not yet present (ignore TunSafe). Android and Linux well supported. Pretty much 'just works'.

    I never subscribed to their marketing e-mails in the first place, yet they still send them.

    You know what we call that? Spam.

    That's a legit reason to report them.

    It's not that it's expensive or anything. I just don't want to run a VPN from home for pihole.

    I could put it on a VPS but it's easier to pay for an app once and forget about it (I paid $0.99 for Adguard on sale).

    I am motivating myself to think like this: I don't know what is "colocrossing", never heard of it. I don't have enough time in my life to waste it with reading spam messages.
