YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

There's been an add-on called Privacy Pass for a few years now. This plugin gives you 30 passes for CF and 5 passes for hCaptcha when you solve one. For example, once you solve 1 captcha for Cloudflare, you will not see 30 captchas again! It will automatically pass.

The good thing is, it's perfectly legal. Powered by Cloudflare and hCaptcha. Valid for Chrome and Firefox.

Any bypass of hcaptcha and powered by Cloudfare would be legal. There is no legal requirement to go through those services.

However these extensions most likely enhance the tracking provided to these services, in exchange for not exploiting you as much to train their AI.

It's open source and they explain how it's done on the github page. It doesn't seem invasive.

Yeah i don’t care about the legality part too. But its working stable for years. Cloudflare is already tracking whole web anyways 🤔 Any alternative is appreciated.

So this is basically the same companies letting you choose whether you want to be extra tracked or just the normal amount plus your free AI training sessions?

I don't know which one it is, but I keep getting stuck in a loop for the "select all the images of a bike". I have to switch to the audio version every time.

Have you considered whether you're a bot? 😂

It should be hCaptcha. I hate it more than Cloudflare or Google. We're literally doing Tesla autopilot AI training for free on it :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe that's why they brake suddenly. Some trolls are clicking a picture of open highway when the captcha asks them to click deadly obstructions.

Wow! You're a hero! Thanks for this!
