Outline is pretty neat

You can create a transform rule (iirc, might be one of the other rules, can’t check right now) that changes the destination port as long as you’re using Cloudflare’s proxy, no need for stuff like srv records.

It doesn’t prove you’re not a bot though, only that the request is coming from a ‘genuine device’. You just need to pipe your malicious requests through a ‘real browser’ to get them approved and you’re set.

Cloudflare registrar or Porkbun are my goto’s. Keep in mind that Cloudflare registrar currently requires you to use their (free) DNS service, you can’t change the nameservers yet.

It’s ridiculous how nowadays a lot of hardware car features are locked behind a simple software switch. Feels like both a massive waste of resources for people that don’t buy the upgrades, and like having to pay for a feature that is already physically present in your car. Software-only upgrades like full self driving are understandable, hardware upgrades locked behind a software gate aren’t.

Canvas rendering differs slightly depending on a lot of factors like operating system, browser, installed fonts, and many others. This information can be used to uniquely identify and track your machine across the web, even if you have stuff like cookies blocked and switch IPs. Just outright blocking canvas access attempts to prevent this. Keep in mind that while it can help prevent against canvas tracking, it can also be used as yet another variable to uniquely identify your browser, ‘has canvas blocking enabled’, just like blocking cookies, do not track requests, etc…

Luckily, other browser manufacturers (Mozilla, Vivaldi, Brave, and even the WWWC) have already spoken out against this proposal. Google loves marketing it as ‘optional’, which it obviously won’t be once implemented.

I’m really excited to see the technical changes, specifically the move towards a more data-driven system. This should make it a lot easier for servers to change stuff like biomes when a player is already playing, especially on larger networks. Currently you’d have to set the biomes on join, without a way to update them or make them “sub-server” specific.

The datapack changes are also very nice to see, hopefully this can help people write some more performant functions ^_
