We investigated performance degradation due to excessive crawling of Codeberg.

We often trace back such things to company websites that proudly list their key investors - but don't actually explain what they are doing (or why they need to crawl Codeberg more excessively than the crawlers of the major search engines combined).

It's probably not a use case we believe in anyway, so we blocked several large IP ranges today.

There is a twist to this story where the password reset email never arrives, so we are locked out of a critically important account.

Vendor: "use a strong password and set up 2-factor auth to protect your account"
Me: "great, thank you"
Vendor: "your password has expired, we sent you a reset link by email"

Hello people of the US, Germany here.

We have a bit of experience with a convicted felon and radical right-wing extremist becoming leader of our country.

Our advice: Don't do it.

@pavel What is "made up?" Most of the felony convictions are for possession of marijuana, which I consider "made up." It is *for sure* used as a convenient way to disenfranchise black voters.

So, in my eyes we either allow felons to participate in the electoral process both to elect and to be elected, or we allow neither.

@pavel Umm... "people with felony convictions account for 8 % of all adults and 33 % of the African American adult male population."

Yo, ClaudeBot. You see that f'n robots.txt? Yes, it's for you.

Oh, you don't care? Well, then, choke on a bucket of 403s.

@dartov I'm hoping that common human physiology will prevent a similar development in this case.

Amused by the fact that convicted felons can't vote, but can apparently be elected into a position where they can appoint Supreme Court judges.

@luis_in_brief Not really a genre -- it's mostly lofi or bass-and-bops overlayed over a binaural wave.

I don't have ADHD (pretty sure, I went over a bunch of resources to verify), but some days listening to "ADHD relief music" is the only way I can stay focused on a task.

Obviously, obviate the bloviated, not the obverse.

"More than 150 fake local news websites pushing Russian propaganda to U.S. audiences are connected to John Mark Dougan, an American former law enforcement officer living in Moscow, according to a research report published Wednesday by NewsGuard, a firm that monitors misinformation."
