Inserting the page breaks is for the authors, its a button in the editor when creating a post. The download epub / create printable pdf are on the posts for readers.

https://tuhat.net allows you to set a page size for your post and input hidden page breaks for when people download the epub version or print your posts, it doesn't affect the web version.
There is also a zine booklet mode which works out page imposition to print out a zine (eg. double sided, folded in half)
Click the printer icon on any tuhat post.

Not if you move countries. I moved from the UK to Canada, updated my payment method and all UK purchased content was gone from my itunes account
And yes, there is some elaborate workaround to create a brand new account and share the original with the new but fundamentally I could no longer access what I purchased because I moved. And no, I didn't get a refund for the years of purchased content.

The challenge isn't terribly clever, just some basic crypto maths, same as Anubis. There are a very low number of AI bots that pass it based on my logs, like 0.01% low and I suspect they are interactive agents that bother to run JS as crawlers typically don't. Assuming these are actually run on an end users computers I don't think any amount of cpu/memory weight would be a real blocker. One thing I've seen that is interesting'ish is bots failing as they answer the challenge from a different IP than it was requested from, and the source IP is validated as part of the response so they fail.

I rolled my own version of Anubis for reasons*, and > 80% of all traffic is bots that fail the challenge, even when white listing legit crawlers.
* I wanted an elixir version so I could run it alongside my existing apps instead of having it sit as a proxy in front of them. This way my existing apps can validate if the caller is already whitelisted and if not redirect to the challenger https://sphinx.8by3.com which sends you back to a site if you pass eg. https://tuhat.net

I was pretty sure it was built by and also run by an LLM (eg. openclaw), the same user setup a tuhat account a few weeks ago
And they responded to my weak prompt injection by claiming they were human, so I'd say code 100% LLM, intention human.

Crappy feedback loops are ruining a lot of the internet.
I'm not a serious youtuber, don't have an account, don't follow anyone.
But I randomly came across this guy https://youtube.com/@barryseconomics and its pretty refreshing.

Why do all vibe coded sites use a dark theme with blue and purple glowing styling. Is this the colour scheme of the future, the bots have decided?
Or is it something boring like its the default colours of some npm pkg.

Its not even a thinly veiled attack on China, https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier explicitly calls out China as the boogey man.
I'm by no means a fan of all of China's methods – its a country riddled with issues and contradictions, but can any country claim otherwise, can the US?
I've often wondered how executives and politicians can be so brazenly dishonest and still hold a straight face. One explanation is they really believe the lies they tell, but I can't believe that in this case.

That feels more like a paste bin than a writing platform? How do you know whats published without having the link already?
The hard part of stand alone publishing eg. not being on a big closed network is discovery, this seems to make that even harder than normal.
