@dermoth Can you tell me how long it roughly takes for you to access https://ams.source.kernel.org (it's a system out of rotation where I'm testing the integration)

@dermoth You can kinda estimate by running this:

difficulty of 6 leading zeroes takes about 10 seconds on my i3 intel NUC

(No, I don't intend to leave it at difficulty=6, it's just so I could take the screenshot.)

@cadey now I just need to figure out how to allowlist our monitoring bots. :) I do see the bot/useragent js file, but I'm not sure I want to rebuild the binary each time that requires updating.

@cadey thank you for your work on this. Wish it wasn't needed, but it looks like some kind of proof-of-something is going to be required for all public resources.

@xexaxo just accessing millions of commit objects from millions of ips is bad enough without git blame ot other expensive endpoints, honestly.

Sigh... I got anubis proof-of-work bot working in pre-production. I can't express how much I hate this.

Jonathan Corbet

Today I got a cheery email from somebody who claims to be the "ethics and compliance" officer for a company called Bright Data. He wanted to have a "no pressure" conversation about the whole AI scraperbot problem. Looking at their web site, this company offers an API that, and I quote, "Bypasses anti-scraping mechanisms and solves CAPTCHAs, ensuring uninterrupted access to the most protected web sites".

After careful consideration for several milliseconds, I have concluded that I really don't have anything to discuss with this person.

But at least their claimed "100M+" of residential IP addresses that they use for their DDOS attacks are "ethically sourced".

If Elon Musk actually leaves DOGE in May, don’t celebrate. And don't let up. Escaping accountability is his whole game. He’s a Nazi, propping up fascism, wrecking lives, and laundering cruelty. Keep the pressure on. Torch his brand. Shatter his legacy. Make sure history spits on his name.

@raven667 same. I'll just have to suck it up and hope my "This is my last Tesla" sticker will be enough.

Oh, the humility of being a Tesla driver on a Tesla Takedown day.

(Preordered it in 2019 -- back when Musk's true fascist nature wasn't yet revealed.)

People randomly dissapearing from the streets in the US because the so called "President" doesn't like them looks a scary lot what happened between 1939-1945 in Germany

Remember?
