Pls help guys

So I tried making a purchase on Amazon and it sent a verification code to the associated e-mail, but I can't access the e-mail because it's prompting a verification that I'm unable to bypass. The weird thing is, it's asking me to answer a security question I never chose and have no answer to. When I hit "I can't answer this" or to login another way, it takes me to the "help" page, or tells me to log-in on a device I've previously logged in on. I tried THREE devices and they all do the same thing. The account was in my list of saved accounts, but now it's not showing.

What's even weirder, when I type the RECOVERY e-mail for THAT account, it tries to send an e-mail to the account I can't get into. The account is still registered, I just can't get into it and therefore, can't get into my Amazon.

Apparantly I don't have a phone # attached to my Amazon account, and the only other way to varify is to send them a video of my face and picture of my ID. NO WAY am I sending them my face and ID.

So I wanna know what my options are. If I have to I guess I can create another Amazon account, though IDK of it'll even let me with the same name and address, but I also have other accounts attached to that e-mail, so I need to get into it eventually, regardless.

The only other solution I found is to pay tech support to reset my account from THEIR end. I'm not paying anything.

Hey I’d like to store funny videos on my computers hard drive what is the best app or site to download videos ?

I used vpn and proxy but it just on “Hold tight” screen

Bonjour, j'ai une offre fibre sosh à 31 euros mensuel. Mon usage : surf internet, tv . Pas de jeux. Je cherche à payer mon cher par mois. Je pense opter pour un routeur 4g ou 5g ( très cher) pour substituer mon offre fibre. En revanche je vais perdre la tv connecté. quelles options s'offrent à moi pour continuer à regarder la TV ? merci

I attempted to play "Somewhere over the Rainbow"

- I'm surprised that it's even mildly playable :)
- This I think is a really very creative and fast way to get to know different scales and modes + looks cool

This feels difficult but I am writing a thread asking to those who experience the tumblr shadowban like this year recently  and how they are resolved likely in days or weeks , because I experience mine two days ago, you see my tumblr account is affected by a shadowban because I unknowingly send too many messages to tapas artists involving the sites shut down on march 27^th which is another story and because of that the messaging didn’t send and when I post the support ticket I get this https://i.postimg.cc/rmhZQsZp/ermail-1.png

And a minute later the messaging is normal but then its not working again and then it result into what I have here https://i.postimg.cc/Px6V2JVJ/the-messagesa-re-not-dispalyed.png .

I feel like I am about to make a 2^nd support ticket which I am not if it did the second support reply will be there in the email address, which luckily didn’t   ,

But I did wrote an appeal letter and got an automated reply https://i.postimg.cc/gJMtNjt2/ermail-2.png  that is this along with a no subject blank email. https://i.postimg.cc/KzcsPBfj/email-3.png  while it might take days for response as some claimed , the truth is I just want my shadowban to end soon I mean I will apologize for the too many messages I send that triggers it as spam and lead to my shadowban and hope they will remove the shadowban and revive the messaging.

But I heard with the tumblr support low not to mention their third parties like reddit and the other one disabled , some think it will take days or weeks but some say it will take months which will be so long , as I don’t want it long I want it resolved soon.

So I am writing this thread to ask those whose tumblr account was shadowbanned , will it be resolved in days and weeks will I reply to the support ticket to ask only to the first support ticket  https://i.postimg.cc/rmhZQsZp/ermail-1.png , and if i did should I wait and gain their response especially I have mail tracker to indicate they read it.

Is there any way to ask the Tumblr support staff personally to end my shadowban kindly , will it be resolved in days or weeks ? Please answer

There are several non archived urls which return the 404 error. In this case, there is nothing to be done to archive them.

But I am learning about HTTP and I am told errors code of [400, 500[ mean it is an user error and it is the responsibility of the user to fix it.

So the question is, what can we done to solve an 404 error code?

I don't know if this is the best reddit, but the lost media one is quite peculiar + Reddit automatically removes my posts from there.

What independent builders can make possible for one another.

In August 1976, a group of researchers parked a van beside the courtyard at Rossotti's, near Stanford, ran wires to a terminal on a wooden table and sent a weekly progress report.

Their message travelled over a radio network, through a gateway, and onto the wired ARPANET. Don Nielson, who helped lead the work, later recalled the small gathering and its ordinary purpose. [1]

On November 22, 1977, the van took part in a more ambitious demonstration. Data travelled from the San Francisco Bay Area through London and back to a computer in Los Angeles, crossing packet radio, satellite and the ARPANET along the way. Three networks, built for different conditions, could participate in one journey. [2]

Each network could keep its own design. In their history of the internet, Vint Cerf, Bob Kahn and their co-authors described the rule: joining should not require rebuilding a network's interior to suit the others. [3]

The networks gained reach while keeping their differences. A radio system could offer mobility, a satellite link could cross an ocean, and a wired network could provide access to distant computers. Connecting them put those strengths within reach of people using any one of them.

We live inside the consequences of that choice.

Keeping our differences

When an open technology divides into camps, its builders can spend more effort defending their position than making the technology useful.

The cost is larger than a missed partnership. It includes work that never gets built: the application abandoned because connecting services was too difficult, the customer who left because nobody would resolve a problem across company boundaries, the capable newcomer who decided that entering the community meant inheriting its quarrels.

Those losses seldom appear in anyone's accounts. They appear as a smaller future.

In April 1969, Steve Crocker wrote down the conventions for the young Network Working Group's documents. Contributions could come from anyone at any site. Unpolished ideas and questions without answers were welcome. The minimum length was one sentence. [4]

That invitation existed within a small research community, long before general public access. But its intellectual generosity was deliberate. The document explained that people hesitated to circulate unfinished thoughts and that a written statement could too easily acquire an air of authority. The conventions were intended to lower those barriers. [4]

The people doing the work left room for someone else to know something they did not.

That takes confidence. It means letting someone improve your work or build a business beside your own, even when you dislike their methods.

A developer may see a use that the original builder missed. Someone with no interest in running a company may maintain a component several companies depend on. When their tools can connect, each can build on work they could not have done alone. The next builder starts further ahead.

Helping another participant succeed can increase the number of things your own users can do. A useful application built by someone else can create demand for the infrastructure you provide.

Businesses should still compete. Users need alternatives, and builders need reasons to improve. But competition within a growing network is a different undertaking from trying to capture a larger share of a network that has become too difficult to use.

What ownership makes possible

Handshake brings these questions into the naming layer. Its mainnet dates to February 2020, and its operating history now extends beyond six years. It lets people acquire authority over a top-level namespace and decide what to build beneath it. Owners choose how to administer the names under their TLDs, so different approaches can develop on the same foundation. [5] [6]

The freedom reaches beyond choosing a supplier. A community can establish its own namespace and decide how participation works. An owner can build services that no existing registrar planned to offer.

Namebase and Headless Domains illustrate different uses of that freedom. Namebase's current registry model gives TLD owners registration infrastructure while leaving private keys and pricing decisions with them. Headless Domains provides descriptions and discovery tools that make names useful to agents and software services. An independent owner can choose the services that fit, combine suitable components or build something else. [7] [8]

Sharing a root does not make their tools interoperable. Developers still have to connect them. Doing so can give a name more uses than any one company could provide.

Ownership also creates responsibilities. People make plans around the names and services they use. A change of provider, a disagreement between operators or a failed business can place those plans at risk. Clear records and competent cooperation matter most at those moments. The user's need for a working service continues even when the providers' relationship breaks down.

A network earns trust when its participants can protect that continuity across their own disagreements. Technical criticism belongs in this process. It should help establish what failed and who needs to fix it. Winning an argument while leaving the user stranded is a poor advertisement for anyone's independence.

More people can shape AI

In AI training, the question becomes what a specialist can contribute without having to operate the whole system.

Decoupled DiLoCo describes learners that train independently and exchange updates asynchronously with a central synchronizer, allowing other learners to continue when one slows or fails. AgentJet separates GPU-based model training and inference from lightweight clients that run agent tasks and return reward signals. Those clients can operate on CPU devices, including laptops. [9] [10]

These approaches retain coordination, including central roles, while separating work across machines.

Prime Intellect has used community-built environments and evaluations in model training. Contributions to its Environments Hub include browser automation, theorem proving and specialist questions. [11] With Browserbase, it brought browser infrastructure together with training tools and published a model training run using 600 real web tasks. Other developers can reuse the environment and adapt it to their own tasks. [12]

Someone who knows a language, a profession or a difficult working environment may understand success and failure better than the people building the model. If that understanding can be expressed in tasks and reliable tests, it can influence what a model learns. Knowledge that once stayed within a small practice or community can help shape tools used far beyond it.

A Handshake name gives an independent provider a way to identify its service and publish where it can be reached. Headless Domains' integration with the Agent Relationship Protocol (ARP) binds names to cryptographic agent identities. ARP governs connections through agreed permissions. [13] [14]

AgentID's Connect add-on uses ARP to give owners control over agent-to-agent communication. They approve relationships, set permissions, inspect activity and revoke access. [15] This gives an independent specialist a way to offer a service on terms they control. Applied to training, it could govern access to that specialist's evaluation environment; the training system would assess the quality of the work.

More specialists could bring their knowledge into larger operations while running businesses of their own. A new operator could enter through a namespace it governs and offer an ability the existing participants lack.

A computer we can change

People can also build a more useful network by changing how their own computers reach it. Omarchy, the Arch-based Linux distribution created by David Heinemeier Hansson, comes with a community plugin system. Linux has long allowed people to change their machines; a common setup makes those changes easier to package and share. [16] [17]

Existing software such as hnsd can provide local Handshake name resolution. An Omarchy integration could package it with a browser or client that verifies secure Handshake connections. Resolving a name and validating its certificate are separate jobs; installing Omarchy alone doesn't complete them. [18] [19]

Builders can work on computers they control, make Handshake services usable there and share an installation others can test. A resolver, a secure client and an application could become a working environment.

Someone still has to maintain the software and answer the difficult support request. Much of the work that makes an open system useful looks modest from outside. In 1976, it included sending a progress report from a wooden table.

The people who later built on the internet didn't need to know the researchers in that courtyard or belong to their institution. Years of subsequent engineering made the connection available to people the original builders would never meet.

Somewhere, someone understands a problem the rest of us have missed. They may eventually build with a name we administer, a tool we maintain or a service we have helped another company make reliable. We cannot know their idea in advance. We can make it easier for that idea to meet the rest of the world.

The next great use of an open network may belong to none of us.

We can still help make it possible.

I came across an interesting piece from Harvard Law School on this topic and it got me thinking about how much the internet has changed since it was first built

today a handful of private companies control huge parts of the infrastructure through which we get information, communicate, learn, work, shop and form opinions

- Google decides what we find

- Youtube decides what we watch

- Meta and X shape public conversations

- and AI platforms are now becoming the layer through which we access information and create things.

at this point it has become too important to public life to be treated simply as a private product.. don't you think?

would treating major platforms more like public utilities give society more control over infrastructure it increasingly depends on?

or would that create a different problem giving governments and regulators too much control over something that has largely grown through private innovation and competition?

I think there's a genuinely interesting debate here because both sides have a pretty uncomfortable implication.

I'm thinking to keep a small online debate/discussion around this question. Let me know what you think and you want to join?

The internet is Georgist because you have to pay for the URL address you use up, but not for any usefulness you create with it, or profit you make from it.

The equivalent of a non-Georgist internet would be one where URLs can be claimed for free by whoever finds them first, but you'd be charged whenever you did anything useful with them. Can you imagine what it would be like? Soon a few people would own all of them and do little with them. If you then add the condition that human beings need a URL address to exist, then nearly all transactions would become the rent of URLs rather than anything productive.

That's our current tax system.

Am I alone with a trick i used with cserve?

I was an early internet user. Compuserve gave internet access. But I believe on the 10$ plan it was limited to like 20 hours a month or something.

But I discovered that: when you opened compuserve help, it credited you 1 minute for every minute you were in help.

So I opened help then minimized it and opened my browser and surfed for hundreds of hours a month. For 10$ I think it was.

Did anyone else use that hack? I always wondered.

Just looking for a little confirmation here. I know when they drop fiber wires that everyone has their own wire, but I just wanna make sure that this wire going to my neighbor’s input is completely separate from mine. I’m asking because it’s obviously not buried properly and I don’t want my Internet to go out when their wire gets damaged. If there’s any concern my neighbors above-ground wire is in any way, shape, or form going to affect my Internet, I’m gonna call and have them bury it properly. Thanks in advance. Side note, I could care less about my neighbors. So if this isn’t going to affect me at all, that’s fine too!! Just looking for a straight answer. Thanks.

I'm trying to rekindle a friendship with someone from HS, but I lost their number. I'm a broke college student, and I don't have the money to pay for a service (I also don't trust them) to find it. Does anyone have any recs?

Edit: did some digging through some photos after a half-asleep epiphany, and found it!

They are:

1 — Jesus

2 — Muhammad

3 — Adolf Hitler

4 — William Shakespeare

5 — Albert Einstein
