Flatpak doesn’t come with more libraries to interact with other flatpaks. It comes with libraries that the application’s flatpak you’re downloading requires. However, when installing the flatpak those libraries do not get installed if they are already on the system.
So widget-flatpak needs lib-a and lib-b. You’re system already has lib-b that flatpak is using for as another flatpak.
You install widget-flatpak. lib-a gets installed but lib-b does not because you already have it.
I used to do this on one of my sites that was moderately popular in the 00’s. I had a link hidden via javascript, so a user couldn’t click it (unless they disabled javascript and clicked it), though it was hidden pretty well for that too.
IP hits would be put into a log and my script would add a /24 of that subnet into my firewall. I allowed specific IP ranges for some search engines.
Anyway, it caught a lot of bots. I really just wanted to stop automated attacks and spambots on the web front.
I also had a honeypot port that basically did the same thing. If you sent packets to it, your /24 was added to the firewall for a week or so. I think I just used netcat to add to yet another log and wrote a script to add those /24’s to iptables.
I did it because I had so much bad noise on my logs and spambots, it was pretty crazy.
Company profits up but share price down? Fire some C-Suite.
Company has never profited and there’s no plan but share price up? Give C-Suite performance bonuses.
Yes, if they offload all of the compute for anti-cheat to the customer’s hardware, then you are right for current operating systems.
Client side anti-cheat is not the only way but it is the cheapest way for the game industry.
