  • My head canon is, that they're analyzing posts and comments and used that to weed out bots in the past. "Oh, this looks like 90% of our content - it's a human" - "Oh, this doesn't look like 90% of our content, probably a bot". Now the baseline shifted and everyone who is not a bot triggers it and gets banned.

  • It's encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.

    Unless you enable it for every single chat (and IIRC only available for chats with only two persons, not group chats) there's no encryption. Or did they change that? The only encryption that applies to most chats on that platform should be transport encryption via TLS.

  • Basically it means to not have a special designed hardware for task X but to do much of it in software which gives you more flexibility. And also let's you configure and use X a bit more flexible.

    E.g. software defined networking: If you run several virtual machines on a server, you may define the whole network between them virtually in software instead of doing it on the hardware side. Sure, you still need an ethernet card in your server to connect it to other servers and the internet, but all load balancing, switches, firewalls, VLANs, etc. between the virtual machines (or containers) on your server are virtualized in software - or maybe eben between servers.

    Same goes for e.g. Software Defined Radio. In the early days you had dedicated hardware to control the mobile network and the antennas and such. Today you "just" have the antenna and a transceiver that is capable of producing and receiving a wide range of signals and modulations. All encoding, decoding and interpretation the signals is done in software. If your hardware is capable enough, the upgrade from e.g. 4G to 5G may only be a software update for all base stations.

  • Depends, my setup is basically the same BUT:

    When you access example.com, you see a generic site tells g you this is my Domain and used for some personal projects. On it is a link to blog.example.com (obviously a blog) and other public services like search.example.com (being a searxng instance).

    But there's a fuckton of subdomains that are not linked like nextcloud.example.com, myTelegrambot.example.com, etc.

    Also not all are hosted on the same server and some subdomains point to other IPs. For some services I do have another domain, but in general, they're just grouped with some logic.

    Not sure what a reverse proxy would offer me here...

  • I did that once with another company. The result was that I got an abuse complaint from them and my domain got on a spam blacklist for a while.

    Since then, for such mails it’s only abuse reports and sinkhole their domain if possible.
