  • If you’re looking to stop them from wasting your traffic, do not use a tarpit. The whole point of it is that it makes the scraper get stuck on your server forever. That means you pay for the traffic the scraper uses, and it will continually rack up those charges until the people running it wise up and ban your server. The question you gotta ask yourself is, who has more money, you or the massive AI corp?

    Tarpits are the dumbest bit of anti-AI tech to come out yet.




  • Stop eating processed foods. That’s what my doctor told me, and when I started taking the effort to make food from raw ingredients, not only did I start feeling a lot better in general, but my wife and I also learned a valuable life skill. Just the other day, she made chicken alfredo entirely from scratch, and it was amazing.

    I didn’t realize how bad I was feeling until I stopped eating so much processed stuff and started feeling better. I was so used to feeling like shit, that my body just thought that was how people normally felt. I had no idea people were walking around feeling this good, and having this much energy.





  • An old Dell workstation that I stole from a corporate job I used to work. I stole a few of them, actually, and used the parts from the others to upgrade one of them. For a computer that would probably not be able to run Minecraft, I now have a headless home server that uses the Servarr suite to fetch and stream media from Usenet to all the devices on my network. It works so well, I have it running an Audiobookshelf server as well, loaded up with books I get from MAM.
