Anyone knows reasons why websites are blocking Tor traffic?

9 years ago from iPhone - Comment - Hide - - -

One reason could be: blocking users by IP would be impossible. But wouldn't that be the same for VPN? - Stephan - -

Thing is, this is happening for smaller sites as well. I would assume that these are less of an interesting target for attacks or abuse. This could be just a fashion statement. I just find it a bit disconcerting that Tor is being targeted that way. - Stephan - -

Makes sense, how else would they look at your data. I'm just saying that Facebook's motives have less to do with helping people and more with helping themselves. - Stephan - -

Sitting on the couch with Sophie. I had so much to eat, I can't move. Interestingly, we're watching Anthony Bourdain but looking at all that food makes me feel uneasy. :-) #firstworldproblems

Receiving a call while driving is risky. Apart from any safety considerations there is always the risk of the other party feeling the desire to use expletives while I'm driving with my children in the vehicle. (That's why I decline calls from most people.)

45C? That's 113F--I tend to feel like I'm dying a bit too once it gets over 110F, and I grew up in Modesto. If the humidity was higher than, say, 40%, 113F would be pretty near intolerable. - waltcrawford - -

Not sure if this makes any sense to you but I find it very difficult scrolling vertically in the text field (creating a post/comment or editing it afterwards). More often than not I swipe the entire page instead of just the text within the field. (This is on iOS 8.3.)

In our company is see new job titles that are so vague, it could mean anything or nothing.

The company started out in its current incarnation in 2012 as very lean. Slowly I see the same convoluted structures being created that they criticized before. - Stephan - -

Interesting. At the tire shop gettkng the new tires installed. They pointed out that I lost one lug nut. I did that one, I remember because it is the keyed one and when I did that one my hand slipped off the torque wrench. No damage.

9 years ago from iPhone - Comment - Hide - - -

My wife came to the rescue and brought me the regular lug nuts from home. Plus I got to see little Sarah so it was all good. - Stephan - -

(Now I'm afraid to ask the dealer how much they charge for a replacement lug nut. Probably its weight in platinum would be my guess.) - Stephan - -

After having used duckduckgo exclusively as my search engine, my conclusion is: it sucks just as much as any other search engine.

It always ignores part of the search terms. I am entering them for a reason, I would think. - Stephan - -

My tires are so bad, one started to disintegrate from the inside, driving on the spare until I have time. They barely lasted over 30,000km. Let's not select those again.
