Lukas RotermundNice. @hetzner added a proof of work bot protection to their accounts subdomain that requires me to enable WASM.
WTF 
I definitely won't do that. So no more access to my servers. Noice.
That is definitively the wrong way of doing a bot protection.
It’s wild how some people think it’s baseline acceptable to run proprietary junk as WASM on strangers’ machines.
Sascha@lukasrotermund I mean, it's not like you would look through every line of JS of a website you visit, right? I don't see an issue in at least accepting it on websites you trust.
@sn0opy I generally only allow JS execution on FOSS software because I don't trust it either; and just on websites I trust, like Hetzner. I don't even trust my own employer's JS. The difference for me is that I could read their JS. Not their WASM. And if there’s one thing I really can’t stand, it’s proprietary junk, especially when random websites just want to embed and run it without asking, as if that were the most normal thing in the world. JS is bad enough as it is.
