During my first (shitty) job as a dev outta school, they had me writing scrapers. I was actually able to subvert it pretty easily using this package that doesn't appear to be maintained anymore https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper
Was pretty surprised to learn that, at the time, they were only checking if JS was enabled, especially since CF is the gold standard for this sort of stuff. I'm sure this has changed?
Read breaking changes? People don't accidentally hit update as they see the bold BREAKING CHANGE then deal with the consequences of their actions for the next 20-30 minutes?
Hmm that aquarium chiller solution is interesting to me. I'd like to wire it up to home assistant, so I could automate it. Wonder if there are any that I could control with an IR blaster?
Would miss out on some of the fun data you get from the complete solution though.
I also saw there was some firmware available for the complete solution, for local control. But unsure if I can realistically justify that large of a purchase while relying on a project that may lose support.
I'm aware of the bed jet, but it doesn't seem as useful as it just pushes air, so if your room is already hot you are out of luck.
Notably, this device-linking concept of operations has proven to be a low-signature form of initial access due to the lack of centralized, technology-driven detections and defenses that can be used to monitor for account compromise via newly linked devices; when successful, there is a high risk that a compromise can go unnoticed for extended periods of time.

Focus on Child Exploitation: A significant focus of the safety efforts is on combating child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA), involving collaborations with various organizations and implementing detection technologies.
Recent Updates and Improvements: The Foundation has made recent advancements in safety tooling, including account suspension capabilities and measures to prevent the misuse of Matrix as a content distribution network.
Community Engagement: The document highlights the importance of community-driven initiatives and collaborations with external groups to enhance safety and moderation efforts within the Matrix ecosystem.
Future Goals: The Foundation aims to improve reporting systems, increase transparency through regular reports, and enhance user engagement in safety practices, while continuing to uphold user privacy and security.
Even if recaptcha is solvable by bots, what you're effectively doing is making it more expensive to run these bots at scale, which is a deterrent and necessary.
Now there's definitely ways to do it without tracking user data, but I doubt they'll give up that control without being forced
Only time I've ever used starlink was as a fallback while I was working remote out of Mexico for a few months and it was ridiculously slow compared to telmex. Was nice having it as a backup though incase the telmex went down. My travel router failed over before zoom calls would disconnect 🤠
