Google Cloud Console wanted a logo, so korgalore now has a logo.

Look, ma, I wrote my first ui. (Okay, opus wrote it for me, but I promise that I reviewed it very carefully).

Well, I just spent 2 hours of my Sunday dealing with a distributed crawler bot. It's backed off for now, but I am now definitely putting in dataset poisoning, because this is the only measure I can think of that will make the crawlers' authors think twice about abusing public services.

Geez, everyone is dumping on PGP these days.
(Okay, fine, so PGP here stands for "Parents and Grandparents Program.)

@chergert my father's Volga German lineage was a surprise to him, but it's not really surprising -- he was born mid-1940's when mentioning any German origins of your relatives to your children was unsafe.

@catsalad Little known fact, the "turbo" button turned on a special fan that injected gasoline directly into your CPU for added speed.

My dad, who never cursed around us when we were kids, used a funny German phrase instead when he felt like saying something spicy in a polite company: "donner wetter." I always thought it was something that he made up or read in a book (he'd studied German when he was in school).
However, now that I know that there's a definite Volga German lineage in our DNA, I'm actually curious if he'd heard it himself as a kid, as a kind of linguistic family heirloom.
Is "donner wetter" a real thing Germans say, or is it just some kind of "gosh darn" equivalent of a heftier swear?

The crawler that pretended to be b4 is now pretending to be curl. This is a little trickier, but we can still deal with it.
If you have a legitimate tool that is now suddenly returning 403s, please reach out to me.

and if you want to feed lore to your shitty AI learning system, JUST CLONE THE DAMN GIT REPOS. IT'S NOT LIKE WE DON'T MAKE IT ALL EASY TO MIRROR.

So, the aggressive crawler that pretends to be b4 in the user-agent is back hitting lore full force, this time hitting EU instead of APAC.
Thankfully, knowing a thing or two about b4, I can easily tell fake b4 traffic from real b4 traffic. Enjoy a ton of 404's, jerk.

@ljs unless, of course, you're on one of those 300 subnets. :)

@ljs I just banned 300 subnets that an aggressive crawler was using to hit us with a fake b4 user-agent. Hopefully, that improves things for you.
