I am so amused by the whining from the data scraping tech bros about (GASP) the data scraping being done by other people...

Of course we'll go from vilification, to banning, to public subsidy of the domestic tech bros in order to protect our "lead" in... whatever it is that the current type of garbage GenAI is good for.
Oh, wait, we already jumped to the last part

Somehow people think that when you switch from Linux to BSD, it makes us upset.
BSDs are nice! Totally go try them out! Monocultures are bad regardless of your platform of choice, so as long as we can still all interoperate on the network level, you're making the world a more resilient place.

Tesla's gesture recognition is getting really good. If you do the nazi salute while autopilot is engaged, the car will automatically merge into the far right lane.

How good is public-inbox? I just realized last weekend that I messed up after the last reinstall, so every lore node was running a single public-inbox-httpd worker (as opposed to 8 of them). The fact that it still worked and just occasionally got slow is really quite impressive, considering how much crawlers hit it.

Me: "the Swedish Chef" is a parody. Scandinavian languages don't sound like that.

Remember the old adage "It isn't true until the Kremlin officially denies it"? You now can safely replace "Kremlin" with "Trump administration" and you're still right, IMHO.

I shudder to think how many mindless site crawlers $500 billion can fund.

@smxi @corbet we're kinda trying to tell you that a single IP will hit 2-3 times an hour or so. You can't do behavioural analysis over 3 hits. They request 2-3 specific URLs with generic browser client strings and then aren't seen again. But multiply this by tens of thousands of IPs all coming from different subnets and you have a problem.

A followup for folks who are curious about the whole AI botswarm problem...
Some of these bots are clearly running on a bunch of machines on the same net. I have been able to reduce the traffic significantly by treating everything as a class-C net and doing subnet-level throttling. That and simply blocking a couple of them.
But that leaves a lot of traffic with an interesting characteristic: there are millions of obvious bot hits (following a pattern through the site, for example) that all come from a different IP. An access log with 9M lines as over 1M IP addresses, and few of them appear more than about three times.
So these things are running on widely distributed botnets, likely on compromised computers, and they are doing their best to evade any sort of recognition or throttling. I don't think that any sort of throttling or database of known-bot IPs is going to help here...not quite sure what to do about it.
What a world we have made for ourselves...
