no, they’re getting a lot of downvotes because it’s spam.

they’re not interested in legitimate discussion, they only need to promote the spam links at the end of the post.

true, my comment was primarily from the perspective of the recipient of tracking links

I haven’t checked how reddit does this but just from the example it seems like there is no anti tracking from the use of urlcheck that you’re describing.

reddit appears to generate tracking link with a specific numeric identifier in their database, so instead of attaching a bunch of removable url parameters they instead do a lookup in their database and then redirect to the original destination.

this also means your app checking the redirect will need to fetch the url to determine the destination, which means their tracking still works just fine.

edit: a word

if you’re renaming from File.js to file.ts, which is also changing suffixes instead of just capitalization, then that couldn’t be explained by case sensitivity, unless it was a typo and you meant File.js to file.js

I’ve been using case insensitive fs on macOS for years and the only software having issues with this is onedrive.

can’t say i’m surprised.

indeed, original source is the wrong term, but at least it’s an english derivation of it, which was only copied by the link in this post

it is indeed somewhat attributed, but it still very much looks like scraped content.

a very strong indicator is the inclusion of

why is this a blog spam article badly copied from the original source at https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/china-dev-fined-salary-vpn-10m-ecny-airdrop-asia-express/ ?

I didn’t say there were no use cases for this, but the average phone user will not need it. someone using samba on their phone would likely be capable of switching the network config to not randomize every time.

for a device without inbound connectors and no ip based lan firewall rules, which applies to most phones, random per connection macs seem like a pretty good default for privacy.

some networks doing “unusual” things like hotel wifi limiting you to few devices (implemented by mac counting) may be thrown off though.

ncdu makes it even easier if you want to interactively browse through folders to see which files exactly are eating up space
