Okay, so I’ve been thinking of doing something like this for my neocities site (whenever I have the time and drive to work on it). The biggest problem to all of this is the fact I don’t wanna use any JavaScript and don’t know if it’s even possible without JS.
I’ve already, in the past, been experimenting on another neocities page I have access to the idea of blocking access to everyone using a chromium based or safari browser with and without JS, too. To say the least, it’s difficult for a noob like me and so far has not worked like planned. Especially since there are so many forks of chromium with different names/user-agents.
I mean, I’d imagine it’s trivial to do without js. Just try to load an image or similar with a name that’d be blocked into the background image for a div that covers the entire page. Should silently fail to load with a blocker, or shows your error image if they don’t.
As a total HTML/CSS noob, I’ll definitely have to look up how to do this. I’ll probably end up trying it on the other site just in case I royally mess up my main site by accident. I at least have immediate backups for the other site right now, so I don’t mind experimenting with it.
You can try to load an image from a subdomain like ads., or from a filename like 468x80.png (see EasyList) to catch all the common ad blockers, maybe with an id of Ad-Container to catch css-based ad blockers.
DNS based blockers that use regular expressions or wildcards will work with the subdomain approach, but most of them still rely on hardcoded list of domains which means you either need to get a throwaway (sub)domain on their lists OR serve data from an actual ad server (or just live with the occasional false positives from people who believe DNS blocking is enough [which it really isn’t if we’re being honest])
But honestly, in this case doing it with JS should be fine since disabling JS is a quite effective ad blocker anyway. Here’s how I do it for example: ads.d.on-t.work/ad.min.js (and you can try it out at w.on-t.work)
I know that’s a solution, but as a solution to bad design it’s a little bit “Just wear a rubber glove to stop your oven electrocuting you”. Yeah sure, but maybe design it better?
What they actually probably saved was needing to design a whole separate engine case for each bike in their lineup to match all their exhaust configurations.
The idea of having a little pipe protruding out is a different kind of bad design. Things that poke out from engine cases tend to snag or get punched in during a crash, turning what would be some scrapes on the block into a completely totaled engine.
A genuine question if you would like please, I know you meant warm oil for easy maneuvering (oil moves faster when warm/hot), but what about hot oil? Is it safe to change motorcycle oil after an hour or more ride when the oil might be toi hot?
A co-worker of mine tried adding water to his car reservoir after he just stopped from a long ride, the water was near boiling point and it blowed up on him the moment he opened tha water reservoir (not sure that is the correct name). Can such a thing happens with oil exchange?
Oil doesn’t expand and steam like water, so no that won’t happen, but hot oil leads to very nasty burns and can melt gloves onto your hands. Most bikes run the oil around 200 degrees. So no it isn’t safe to change hot oil. Don’t do that.
And, specifically because oil doesn’t boil at those temperatures, it can be at much higher temperature than water can be as a liquid.
We tend to have a mental model of how much damage water can do at its “max” temperature, because liquid water stops existing after a certain temp.
But oil can be so much hotter than that, and still just be a liquid. It’s dangerous in that way, because while a drop of water at near boiling can only do so much damage but a drop of oil can be holding a lot more heat and hence cook a lot more of your flesh before it runs equalizes with the surroundings
Plus people know you mean business when you’ve got some foil.
Guy pulls over his car and brings out the the lug wrench, okay fine. He’s gonna change that tire. Let’s hope he doesn’t forget to chock the wheels, but he’s got the idea.
But you see a dude pullin reynolds wrap out of his bags next to a motorcycle on the off-ramp, that’s a serious dude. That’s the kind of dude you give that dude a burger when he walks by. That’s all I’m sayin.
Good old Cluley, he also has an award winning podcast, Smashin’ Security. It’s a light hearted take on recent security events. Its usually 30 - 45 minutes long.
Keep replacing the ones you’re using with the latest iteration
I mean, a lawyer’s gonna disallow that I’m pretty sure but that’s how we’d be designing new bikes at DaVinci Crater if I were over there. I’ll stay on the low sec roads, I know it needs major design certification before anyone can take it on the nice roads
Should be, but prototyping and making one offs is expensive, maybe even 100x the cost of mass production per unit, so they will of course be looking to do the minimal amount possible
Make it infinitely more obnoxious, 90’s era blinky text, gifs, auto play music… “You wouldn’t be seeing or hearing any of this bullshit if you ran an ad blocker”
