They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.
They can and do. What is blocked depends on what the website owner sets as settings in cloudflare.
Bots intentionally change up their behavior and identifying information as to be undetected.
If they have to crawl the web while behaving like a normal human, it will be magnitudes slower and more costly.
they can already block VPN traffic (unless you use their VPN)
their whole business model is based on them being a man in the middle that decrypts ssl and analyses the packets plainly
about a third of the worldwide websites are using cloudflare so they have a pretry good birds eye view on behaviour of any machine, datacenter or ip range that will be visiting a lot of websites, which in turn will trivially whether it is normal user behaviour or a crawler.
put your butt on a scale, convert the result to RAM, duh
Why not get a 0.5 or 1 tb nvme ssd and set it all as swap?
It will run probably 10 times slower, but it’s cheap and doable.
I personally really like sftpgo and I mount it via webdav.
I used seafile first, then nextcloud. Each for a couple of years and had significant problems with both.
If you already have a server then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
Then if some step goes wrong:
if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.
The pterodactyl discord will probably be more helpful there.
ydotool works too
I havent used either in a while
I know it is not a gui, but until you find one:
it worked quite well to paste the documentation to chatgpt and ask it to make happen exactly what you want.

You can not run pterodactyl on cloudflare.
For pterodactyl or any gaming server, you need a real server with a real operating system that you get full control over.
Instead look for cheap VPS options in your country. Make sure their specs are good enough for a minecraft server. It will cost ~ 5-10$ per month. Then:
Point the domain from cloudflare to that VPS by changing the dns records in cloudflare
Install some linux on it like debian.
Get into that linux by using ssh.
Then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
Sounds like you are in head over heels.
Pterodactyl has a discord, why don’t you go there for dedicated support?
Regardless of where you ask - if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.
Good input, thank you.
As far as I know, none of them had random false data so I’m not sure why you would think that?
You can use topic B as an illustration for topic A, even if topic B does not directly contain topic A. For example: (during a chess game analysis) “Moving the knight in front of the bishop is like a punch in the face from mike tyson.”
There are probably better examples of more complex algorithms that work on data collected online for various goals. When developing those, a problem that naturaly comes up would be filtering out garbage. Do you think it is absolutely infeasable to implement one that would detect adnauseum specifically?
https://github.com/abrahamjuliot/creepjs
This illustrates lots of techniques and how to implement them.
The most interesting to me is “lie” detection. If your browser attempts to give some false data, like when using the chameleon plugin, there are ways to verify a lot of it with javascript.
But check out the readme for detailed info and try it yourself on the webpage to see what it can gather from your setup. https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/
adnauseun (firefox add on that will click all ads in the background to obscure preference data)
is what the top level comment said, so I went off this info. Thanks for explaining.
Huh? No one in the Cambridge Analytica scandal was poisoning their data with irrelevant information.
I didn’t mean it like that.
I meant it in an illustrative manner - the results of their mass tracking and psychological profiling analysis was so dystopian, that filtering out random false data seems trivial in comparison. I feel like a bachelor or master thesis would be enough to come up with a sufficiently precise method.
In comparison to that it seems extremely complicated to algorithmically figure out what exact customized lie you have to tell to every single inidividual to manipulate them into behaving a certain way. That probably needed a larger team of smart people working together for many years.
But ofc I may be wrong. Cheers
You are just moving the problem one step further, but that doesn’t change anything (if I am wrong please correct me).
You say it is ad behaviour + other data points.
So the picture of me they have is: [other data] + doesn’t click ads like all the other adblocker people (which is accurate)
Why would I want to change it to: [other data] + clicks ALL the ads like all the other adnauseum people (which is also accurate)
How does adnauseum or not matter? I genuinely don’t get it. It’s the same [other data] in both cases. Whether you click on none of the ads or all of the ads can be detected.
As a bonus, if adnauseum would click just a couple random ads, they would have a wrong assumption of my ad clicking behaviour.
But if I click none of the ads they have no accurate assumption of my ad clicking behaviour either.
Judging by incidents like the cambridge analytica scandal, the algorithms that analyze the data are sophisticated enough to differentiate your true interests, which are collected via other browsing behavious from your ad clicking behaviour if they contradict each other or when one of the two seems random.
On linux you can also use vmtouch to force cache the project files in RAM. This would speed up the first compilation of the day. On repeated compilations files that are read from disk would naturally be in the RAM cache already and it would not matter what drive you have.
I have used this in the past when I had slow drives. I was forcing all necessary system libs (my IDE, jdk etc.) and my project files into RAM at the start of the day, before going on a 2min break to make coffee while it read all that stuff from a hdd. Which sped up the workflow in general, at least at the start of the day.
It is not the same as a ramdisk, as the normal linux file cache writes back changes to the disk in the background.
You can also pin your fastest core to a specific process, so that it gets no tasks except for the one you want it to do. But that seems more hassle than it’s worth, so I never tried that.

getting irrelevant ads
you guys are getting ads?
I still don’t really understand adnauseum. What is the difference in privacy compared to clicking on none of the ads?
The owner sets the level. If they set strict level, all bots are blocked.
They do care. VC funding happens because the result is profitable. If it is less profitable, there will be less funding because of higher investment risk.
