• Hash Collisions and Exploitations

  I wonder if you could construct a hash collision for high pagerank sites in the google (or Bing) index. You would need to know what hash algorithm google uses to store URLs. This is assuming that they hash the URLs for their indexing. Which surely they do. MD5 and SHA1 existed when google was founded, but hash collisions weren't a big concern until later IIRC. You'd want a fast algorithm because you're having to... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Is there a way in US libraries to access newspaper websites which are behind a paywall?

• Weirdest bug(?)

  I tried to link my friends a NYTimes article but it tells me "www.nytimes.com is blocked. nytimes.com refused to connect. ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE" and then automatically tries to load a .onion link in a tor window. Source: 6 months ago

• drowning in safari tabs

  Hello! My goal is to be able to automate tab-closing in Safari. I have hundreds of tab groups in Safari and many contain web pages that I no longer need. It would take me days to organize and manually go through them to close them. For example. I would love to close any tab that contains "gmail.com" or "nytimes.com" etc. Source: 10 months ago

  They are referring to digg who set up most AMA. Source: 11 months ago

• Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is fighting a losing battle against the site's moderators

  Or is it a success because Reddit Inc has shown its hand of not giving a shit about your average user and this site will bleed users as they, especially power users who actually post and moderate and build the communities in the first place flee to places where their countless hours of unpaid labor are appreciated (like lemmy, kbin, mastodon), and good old reddit becomes a ghost town like digg which is apparently...

• What did the Reddit blackouts actually accomplish?

  It's the great unraveling. Communities are torn asunder. It's could very well be the first step of Reddits fall. Or reddit will just look and feel very different afterwards. A husk of an aggregator. Go to digg.com right now to see what reddit might be. Source: 11 months ago

• What's Your Take on Reddit's Plan to Sell Your Posts and Comments as "Data Licensing" to Other Companies to Train AI Language Models?

  Reddit owes much of its success to the digg.com exodus, it would be fitting for its demise to be caused by a similar exodus. Source: 11 months ago

• Donald Trump’s Indictment Helps Boost MSNBC To Primetime Weekly Ratings Win Over Fox News

  I went over to see what digg.com was up to these days. Their comment section is comprised of reddit comments. Brutal. Source: 11 months ago
