Websites have learned how to detect bots. Cloudflare, anti-spam systems and scripts are figuring out Puppeteer if not configured correctly. The result? Bans, captchas, and an inability to collect data. This article will show you how to enable Stealth mode in Puppeteer to make the bot look like a normal user and bypass the defenses.

Puppeteer's Stealth mode disguises the bot as a real user: it adds browser fingerprints, simulates mouse movement and hides traces of automation. In this article, we'll figure it out:

• How to install and activate Puppeteer Stealth.
• What plugins and settings are needed to bypass anti-bot protections.
• How to test the work and make sure you are not blocked.

You will learn how to configure Puppeteer so that it bypasses complex defenses and scripts work without interruptions.

Confirmed drops of easy and medium difficulty - you will be asked to perform tasks in social networks, mine and contribute crypto for staking if possible.

Check proxies, crypto on your gas payment wallets, and anti-detect browsers before you start.

Here are a few anti-detect browsers to choose from:

• AntBrowser
• Dolphin

And we'll start publicizing the list of actual airdrops.

The Internet today is tens of billions of pages. Information is updated daily. According to Statista, from 2013 to 2023, the amount of data on the Internet has grown almost 20 times - from 4 zettabytes to 79 zettabytes.

The ways of presenting it have also become more complex: dynamic pages, JavaScript content, and data embedded in images. This cuts off standard parsing methods like Python scripts with BeautifulSoup or Scrapy. They still work well for extracting text from HTML. But if a site uses dynamic elements, captchas, or protects the API from bulk requests, such tools break down.

This is where advanced tools come to the rescue. They learn from complex data, recognize text from images, adapt to changes in the structure of websites, and find patterns in information flows.

Hosting is the foundation of a website. There are three options for where to host: shared, VPS, or cloud.

Mistake with hosting is expensive:

• Choosing the cheapest plan? Be prepared for slow loading and load problems.
• Overpaying for unnecessary resources? Money goes to waste.
• Do not think about scalability? At the moment of site growth, you will have to urgently move.

In 2025, the requirements for speed and stability have increased. Customers will not wait for the site to load - they will go to competitors.

In this article we will analyze three of these options: shared-hosting, VPS and cloud. How do they differ, what are the pros and cons? Which hosting to choose for a business, blog, online store or SaaS?

Imagine: you have an assistant that collects data faster than you can finish your coffee. Want to monitor prices, analyze reviews, or automate routine tasks without learning programming languages? No problem.

The familiar Excel will help. Remember when you were told that you don't know all its features? For example, you don't know about VBA.

What is VBA?

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a built-in programming language for automating tasks in Excel, Access, Word and others. In it you can create macros - automators that perform repetitive tasks: process data, send e-mails or, as in our case, parse pages.

This time we picked up 4 drops, all confirmed. Among the participants there are both newcomers and established projects with active communities.

Before you start, check your proxies and wallet balances, antidetect browsers, and start hunting for drops.

SPARQ

SPARQ Gaming is an AI-enabled gaming platform that connects sports brands with their fans through mobile gaming and Web3 technologies.

Parsing is when you extract data from websites and save it in convenient tables. The information collected varies:

• Prices;
• Reviews;
• Ratings;
• Product names.

It can be any kind of information. The essence is the mechanism: there is a lot of data on the site, and you get the necessary data from this array.

We wrote about the cost of losing access to a site or application on a VPS. We told you how to organize real-time server monitoring with the help of free Zabbix distribution:

• Installation
• Setup and management

The next important aspect is the automation of routine tasks. Administrators spend hours performing the same actions, such as updating software and backing up data. According to surveys, more than 50% of VPS admins say that automation has reduced administration time by 30-40%. Using Ansible or Puppet tools not only saves time, but also reduces the likelihood of error.

A new selection of 5 drops. Among the prizes - a pool of $25,000, as well as rewards in the form of SOLs in one of the projects (at the time of writing, the price of 1 SOL is approximately $150).

Don't miss the moment - check your proxies, wallets, anti-detect browsers and go after the drops while they are still active.

Some drops are not confirmed. Participate at your own risk.

Zabbix is a tool for monitoring servers and applications. It collects data about how the server is running: how many resources it uses, whether there are failures or overloads. This is important for administrators who want to keep their systems stable and avoid problems.

How does it work? Agents are installed on servers that collect information and send it to the central Zabbix server. Administrators can then see all relevant information in a user-friendly interface: graphs, reports and notifications. This allows problems to be quickly identified and resolved before they affect users.
