40%
whip it
3%
skip it
9%
nib it
46%
lie flat and do nothing

I should probably gatecrash the lsfmmbpf summit, since it's in Montreal this year. Might head that way on Wednesday.

Welp, election is upon us. I promise that I will do my best to remember to put it under the CW.
The riding I'm in votes 70-80% Liberal, so I can vote for whoever I like, but this year I might vote Liberal anyway, just as an FU to Poillievre.

When you send a dad joke online, its speed of transmission is measured in special units called "dad-bauds."

New pet peeve -- when people treat email as text messages. I don't want to receive 4 messages from you, each one sentence long.

@Profpatsch Unfortunately, currently that microtransaction is "make the world a bit hotter to prove you're not a bot."

@Aissen Yes, that's what I meant by having a local cached page. On a cache hit, just let it through.
That said, it's not like we're discussing a real product -- it's just my laundry list of wishes. :)

@SRAZKVT Yes, it's definitely a "metal detectors in high schools" kind of solution, but c'est la vie.

I'm aware of Anubis and I'm afraid proof-of-work intermediaries are going to become the only way to deal with bots.
However, I don't like Anubis's general approach. I would prefer to have something built into varnish with some more logic that allows for more nuance. If there is a local cached page, allow the request. If there isn't, but the load/RAM usage is low, let the request through. If the load is high or if we're seeing lots of 503's, only then require proof-of-work.

In good news, I figured out what needed to happen so we don't share the same /64 with all other Linode systems in the same datacentre, which gets @spamhaus off our back.

That's why I keep this server: for bitching about life and multilingual dad jokes that only 1-2 people following me would get.

@esgariot @rails Yes, it would work, but would it be acceptable trade-off? That's not clear. Right now, I'm leaning towards setting up separate, authentication-required duplicates for some services that I can give to maintainers and developers, but that, again, is capitulating and admitting that the open web has failed.
