How Residential Proxies Can Streamline Your Development Workflow

Residential proxies are becoming an essential tool for developers, particularly those working on testing, data scraping, and managing multiple accounts. In this article, we'll explore how residential proxies can significantly enhance your development processes.

1. Testing Web Applications and APIs from Different Geolocations

A critical aspect of developing international web services is testing how they perform across various regions. Residential proxies allow developers to easily simulate requests from different IP addresses around the world. This capability helps you test content accessibility, manage regional restrictions, and evaluate page load speeds for users in different locations.

2. Bypassing CAPTCHAs and Other Rate Limits

Many websites and APIs impose rate limits on the number of requests coming from a single IP address to mitigate bot activity. However, these restrictions can also hinder legitimate testing and data collection. Residential proxies provide access to multiple unique IPs that appear as regular users, making it easier to bypass CAPTCHAs and rate limits. This is especially useful for scraping data or conducting complex tests without getting blocked.

3. Boosting Speed and Stability

While many developers use VPNs to simulate requests from different countries, VPN services often fall short in terms of speed and reliability. Residential proxies offer access to more stable and faster IP addresses, as they are not tied to commonly used data centers. This can significantly speed up testing and development, improving your workflow.

4. Data Scraping Without Blocks

When scraping data from numerous sources, residential proxies are invaluable. They allow you to avoid bans on popular websites, stay off blacklists, and reduce the chances of your traffic being flagged as automated. With the help of residential proxies, you can safely collect data while ensuring your IP addresses remain unique and indistinguishable from those of real users.

5. Managing Multiple Accounts

For projects involving the management of multiple accounts (such as testing functionalities on social media platforms or e-commerce sites), residential proxies provide a secure way to use different accounts without risking bans. Since each proxy offers a unique IP address, the likelihood of accounts being flagged or blocked is significantly reduced.

6. Maintaining Ethical Standards

It’s essential to note that while using proxies can enhance development, it's important to adhere to ethical and legal guidelines. Whether you're involved in testing or scraping, always respect the laws and policies of the websites you interact with.

Residential proxies are much more than just a tool for scraping or bypassing blocks. They are a powerful resource that can simplify development, improve process stability, and provide the flexibility needed to work with various online services. If you're not already incorporating residential proxies into your workflow, now might be the perfect time to give them a try.

Re: my observation that the average undergraduate now seems to have much greater familiarity with Homeric epic and at least some Greek literature (esp. tragedy) than with the Aeneid or any Roman material, I think there’s a myriad of things at work here but at least one is that we’ve reverted to this weird cultural construct where ancient Greek myth and literature is viewed as universal while Roman literature is viewed as particular and this affects what books are taught e.g. in high school and college English classes but also what gets mined for retellings. and I also think Roman material is often imagined as being more deeply implicated in the ideological framework of patriarchal western imperial society and like, in some cases perhaps that’s fair, but I would argue as a literary historian that Roman poetry is precisely where we see the cracks forming in Roman gendered imperialism just like Greek tragedy is where we see the cracks forming in Athenian gendered imperialism. whether we want to commit to any idea of authorial intent is a different question but imo it’s impossible to read e.g. Roman elegy or pastoral or even Lucan and come away with the pop-culture idea of the iconic masculine Roman subject (hell, I think even the Aeneid questions the conventional notion of masculine Roman virtus that Lucan absolutely shatters, but that’s another discussion)

anyways this also gets combined with a dynamic that’s really maddening to me as a classicist where anything Roman is almost exclusively gendered as masculine in popular culture (see the Roman Empire meme, but also the subculture of Jordan Peterson bros roleplaying as stoics and reading or pretending to read Marcus Aurelius) whereas on the Greek side we have Anne Carson’s Sappho translations and a total saturation of feminist rewritings of Greek myth, Homeric epic, and tragedy. this is actually really weird from the perspective of a Roman social historian, given that women are far more visible in Roman material (esp. from the 1st century CE onward) than they are anywhere in classical Greek society, and it has the consequence that Roman poetry (except, like, Lucretius I guess) gets sidelined because the types of dudes that are going to maybe read Marcus Aurelius or Tacitus are definitely not going to read Catullus or Vergil’s Eclogues or even the Aeneid given that poetry itself is often gendered as feminine in the 21st century popular imagination, and the types of non-classicists who like Anne Carson’s Sappho and feminist approaches to Greek myth are also probably not going to read Roman poetry

[ID: Five digital drawings comparing the original crew of the Tulpar from Mouthwashing with their Anti-Tulpar versions. Each have lists of traits next to them.

First image is Curly. Regular curly is standing plainly and smiling off to the side. Anti-Curly is facing the viewer directly in a wide stance. He is wearing gloves, boots and spurs, and a hat, as well as a gun holster, and he has a cartoonish smile and "pie eyes".

THE ANTI-TULPAR CREW ARRIVES!! hopefully they were worth the wait uwu

idk exactly how most other anti-aus work, but to gather my general thoughts together, basically i'm flipping several Core Traits (the lists in the pics are by no means comprehensive, just enough to get a vibe) to flip their personalities. this ends up flipping their dynamics quite a bit as well, ofc. anti-curly is a very.... Dramatic antagonist. the setting, however, stays the same. i'm not flipping pony express or anything like that, it wouldn't be as interesting to me to change Everything. i mostly made this au to play around with character designs and swapped dynamics and stuff and to see how things would go if the people were different while their circumstances aren't.

also. it turns out when you take a generally shitty person and make someone who is the Opposite of those things, you get someone generally pretty pleasant.

So Expect More Anti-Jimmy AJSHDADJHKASJHKD

this will forever be the funniest moment in final fantasy xiv to me. you are a bright young officer of the globe-spanning evil empire. over the last few months you've watched the entire empire crumble from the edges inward after the former crown prince killed his father and seized the throne so he could redirect the state toward his own occult ends. you have witnessed unbelievable horrors. you had to kill your own family. finally, you get a chance to stand across from the man who caused all this and ask: why? what was it all for?

and he goes, uh, because i wanted to, dipshit? that's literally the only reason anyone does anything? fuck, you're stupid. if you don't believe me ask literally anyone else. or even like an alien. they'll tell you they do whatever they want for the specific reasons they made up. and like that's literally fine we're all just doing what we want for the cool made-up reasons we each picked.

then a teenager roasts him and he vanishes from history forever. you were probably the last of your countrymen to ever see or speak to him, the man who burned down everything you knew and loved for nothing at all. and like the second to last thing he ever said to you, right between imparting his existentialist philosophy and threatening to kill you, was that aliens are real. he didn't even pause, just said "go ask an alien" and went on with his speech like aliens existing was a baseline assumption everyone could agree on.

I think using Adam's first perspective chapter to describe Gansey (and Declan) is actually brilliant. You'd think this would lead to us learning a lot about Gansey and the Lynch brothers (and introducing Noah!) while learning very little about Adam himself - but it's the absence of much of Adam in this chapter that builds who he is. The constant comparisons while he describes the two people he wants to be more like. Adam, people watching and analyzing and picking apart everyone around him - showing how he feels like an outsider and an observer with very little to contribute early on. We learn more about Adam through how he percieves the world and internalizes it than anything he offers up.
