I spent the last week converting wikis to RTD. Plz send beer.

And no, it's not easy to "just throttle them" when it's thousands of IPs all coming from public cloud subnets with user-agents matching common modern browsers.

AI farms can just up and die, please. Add overscraping to the long list of public resources being ruined by commercial greed -- to join overfishing, overlogging, and overgrazing.

OpenAI is the new Napster.

@gromit I already have a port of wireless.wiki.kernel.org to RTD -- I just need the buy-in from the maintainers. :) E.g. see the preliminary build at https://www.kernel.org/doc/projects/wireless/

@gromit I'm either archiving them or converting them to sphinx/RTD style docs. The three remaining wikis that I need to deal with are: wireless.wiki.kernel.org parisc.wiki.kernel.org and perf.wiki.kernel.org

@kuoirad sphinx-built RTD sites. Or anything statically generated will do, really.

Trying to kill the 3 remaining wikis that we host. Wikis were a nice idea back in 2000's, but these days it's a constant struggle against spammers and AI farms that descend on your sites like locust and consume all resources until the system falls over.

@major that's the "how high?" part.

When Donald says "jump," Elon says "how high?"

Truly, a thought leader.

@yura true story: if you happen to give your Linux system a hostname "linux.com" (and it can actually deliver mail), these reports end up in my inbox, where they periodically give me a heart attack.

@pdp7 Had to ban a few hostile bots. See if things are better now.

@pdp7 can you tell me which frontend? Looking at "host lore.kernel.org" should let you know which one.

@kees I have not considered this brevectuality, but I'm starting to suspect that a brevect is something you may order with a cup of covfefe.

@gulovsen My first guess was that it was about a "patent" (brevet in French), but who knows.

Brevect like "brexit" but you actually evict them.

I am having an amusing and/or deranged conversation with someone who is trying to gaslight me into being ashamed for not knowing what a "brevect" is. (Also, their preferred mechanism for quoting emails in replies appears to be to cut-and-paste screenshots.)

So, what *is* a "brevect" about which the "kernel staff' should totally know? Let your imagination run wild, I'm curious.
