Don't use vibecoded cryptographic tools, folks.

I'd appreciate if someone could dump the iOS "adult websites" list (which are blocked by default in the UK unless you submit government ID etc.)

It's not a list, it's a series of ML classifications. Basically, you've got "child mode" locked on. The solution is to not use a UK apple id.

An ML classifier running against the DNS name? Really?

Not really DNS. They're actually checking the entire URL. They also check page content and other metadata.

If you're having distinct dns blocking errors, that's not Apple or it's a profile that's been set on your device.

The error screen I get says "Website not allowed" "'$domain' is a restricted website." - and it's coming from iOS/webkit itself, my network is unfiltered.

That doesn't mean it's DNS, it just means that the presentation is saying domain only.

Wait, are you saying iOS UK Edition blocks adult websites on the OS level?

Yup! Any webkit web view, and iOS doesn't allow any non-webkit web views (in this jurisdiction at least)

This is just a straight-up lie.

It is not.

Well if it works some other way, please dump it anyway and let us all know how it works?

Edit: I'm reliably informed that it's enforced at the domain level via a bloom filter stored in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebContentRestrictions.framework/WCRFilter-2025-09-29.plist

This is an opt-in feature that implements content restrictions (for e.g. parental control).

It's not opt-in in the UK. It's enabled by default and cannot be disabled without age verification.

It's darkly funny that the UK is so far gone these days that people literally do not believe it.

But how does it work in practice? Say someone put a new adult site online right now that’s some random .com - how quickly and by what mechanism is this block list updated? Seems like mainstream sites that are established and/or big enough to care about being taken down would be compliant and easy to block.

And this is just DNS I assumed unless also keep a record of which ip addresses they actually resolve to.

To be clear I’m interested from the technology perspective and not advocating our UK friends evade government pr0n censors as a form of political protest…

It just has to be good enough, like blocking 80% of adult website is better than nothing, I guess that's their view.

HN has a lot of people submitting/upvoting AI-generated content, and also a lot of people who work with AI extensively and therefore know how to identify it. It's not a big surprise.

> HN has a lot of people [...] upvoting AI-generated content

And I'm not afraid to say that I'm one of them. I upvoted it because I liked it. I don't see what difference it makes who or what wrote it.

It feels like everyone has been forcibly converted to some anti-AI religion. You're no longer allowed to enjoy text on its own merit. You have to like the human writing, even the hard to read, and loudly espouse hatred of everything that comes out of an LLM. Do not ever say, or even imply, that an LLM can help a blogger write something that is readable. That's blasphemy.

The danger of any upvote-based community is that many people have terrible taste.

Not just that, it seems to conflate "the internet" and "social media apps"

Worth noting that something perf-optimized for RP2350 is almost certainly not going to be optimal on a modern desktop-class core (with deep pipelines and wide ILP/SIMD).

Absolutely. This is optimized for highly resource constrained devices, not modern machines. I can tweak the README if that's at all confusing.

they were pretty clear it's for embedded image decoding directly to the video output port

This should be illegal. And maybe it already is? What consequences will Lenovo face, if any?

None, they will just claim that opening the device voids the security features.

This was reasonable advice 12 months ago, but at the rate kernel exploitation is going it's less of a security boundary than ever. Hypervisors aren't much better, but it helps.

Wow. That's more than the cost of the storage space you'd be downloading onto.

Not if you are using enterprise ssds... but this is some insane profit seeking. I think they should just ask for service providers to pay a share of the local revenues that would be easier to digest than this insanity.

I feel like torrenting is tax evasion now as well in France.

> read enormous amounts of generated text

This is something I avoid at all costs. If it's someone else's slop I just won't read it, and if it's "my" slop I prefer to interactively ask questions about it rather than reading a wall of text.
