Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

"Whether it’s cryptocurrency scammers mining with FOSS compute resources or Google engineers too lazy to design their software properly or Silicon Valley ripping off all the data they can get their hands on at everyone else’s expense… I am sick and tired of having all of these costs externalized directly into my fucking face. Do something productive for society or get the hell away from my servers"

LLM crawlers are aggressively destroying important community infrastructures but sadly there is not an easy fix. Still: Blocking those crawlers should be high on your list of todos

(Original title: LLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut)

Other than FSF Europe, what other free software nonprofits are there that I can send people to if they don't want to contribute to a US-based entity?

When Trump says that he can apply economic pressure on Putin, he's lying. He has very few levers that haven't already been pushed. Using his own analogy, Trump acts like he has an ace up his sleeve, but he only has a pair of jokers. The only sure way to apply pressure on Putin is to give Ukraine all they need to win on the battlefield.

If really did attack , | think the only logical thing is for to sign a cease fire immediately, give them half of Twitter and make sure he says thank you.

The hilarious thing about Musk's "fork in the road" emails is that Tesla's autopilot is actually really terrible at forks in the road. It will gleefully drive you into the orange divider if the markup on the road is anything but 100% freshly painted lines.

In fact, "driving us all into the Orange Divider" is also a great description of what Musk is doing.

I'm not a member of the Liberal Party, so I cannot vote for Ms. Freeland, but I've donated money to her campaign and I hope she's the next leader of that party, not another old white dude. But, considering that the Liberal party is the party of old white dudes, I'm not holding out much hope.

Hi everyone, for several hours we are currently fighting with potentially malicious crawling. We are seeing distributed access on Codeberg that could have been crawling, however it seems to only use the most expensive routes. And each time we block an access pattern, a new one pops up immediately.

We are doing our best to keep the performance up.

PSA: please don't use git.kernel.org directly for your CI needs. It is not viable for us to provide enough capacity to withstand dozens of CI nodes all trying to clone linux.git at the same time for multiple CI farms. You *will* get ip-blocked. Please set up a local mirror and hit that instead.
