"The highly classified whistleblower complaint against T Gabbard🚨involves an intercepted conversation in which 2 foreign nationals discussed J Kushner. The complaint was locked in a safe for eight months. The🚨allegations about Kushner are significant if verified."
-Hoodlum

"Snr Trump admin ofcls said the claims about Kushner were demonstrably false..." (which means they were likely...)

If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.

To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.

Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.

This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.

Kürzlich etwas über die Beauty Industrie gelernt, was ich natürlich gern mit euch teile:
Es gibt injizierbare "Filler" (das Zeug, was sich ganz Hollywood ins Gesichter spritzen und irgendwann wieder auflösen lässt), die vom Fettgewebe von menschlichen Kadavern gewonnen werden. Wer seinen Körper spendet, landet also vielleicht im Gesicht von irgendwelchen Influencern und Superstars ✌️

Toronto people, do you know of groups that are interested in donations of perfectly good non-expired (or even expired) N95 masks? I have some I'm not going to use for various reasons¹ that I'd like to deal with before they expire. Bonus points if the group is downtown.

¹ eg I decided I liked 3M Aura 9210s better than 9205s because of the straps, before I finished off my box of 9205s.

Welcome to the Eternal September of open source. Here's what we plan to do for maintainers.

As contribution friction drops, maintainers are adapting with new trust signals, triage approaches, and community-led solutions.
