If you're only starting out with paracord bracelets, one thing you will quickly realize is that a lot of fancy patterns you will find online result in really thick strands that feel bulky and awkward on your wrist. I've tried many different patterns and I still mostly make the simplest "cobra knot" ones, plus the slightly bulkier "chain knot" bracelets that happen to be my usual go-to design -- they look good and aren't too much thicker than the cobra knot ones.

@kkarhan @lwn The problem it that it's *all* the ASNs. Probably even yours. These scrapers are built into apps and running on devices without the knowledge of their ostensible owners. Perhaps your phone is one of them.

Have a look at companies like Bright Data or opscloudio.com if you want to see how that sleazy business works.

The @lwn web site is currently under the most intense scraper attack I have seen yet. 1.3M unique IP addresses within the last couple of hours, and it's not done yet. The work we have done on defenses appears to be paying off, though; the server is holding up reasonably well β€” so far.

...just in case anybody wonders why I have a rather dim view of the whole AI industry...

@mxchara yes it's made with one strand of paracord in under 10 minutes start-to-finish. The diamond knot is the trickiest part to get right, but once you get the hang of it, it goes fast.

Every possible paracord project has a tutorial on the Weavers of Eternity Channel.

New favourite quickie thing to make with paracord. It's a "little scout" to go on your backpack.

So adorbs.

@mjg59 as someone who's been on the receiving end of ramblings from that site (if only in passing, thankfully), I applaud everything you do.

The goose meme is even funnier if you consider that the word "eggs" has multiple meanings in many languages.
