  I’ve been assuming this was going to happen since it’s been haphazardly implemented across the web. Are people just now realizing it?

  I’m all fairness, nobody should be using fuming nitric acid unless absolutely necessary.

  At least you didn’t catch on fire. It likes to do that too.

  But git is decentralized by design… Just self host.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Confused about bot scanning my domain⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to guess after managing enterprise WAF across hundreds of domains…

  It’s either a crowler or vulnerability scanner, and may be scanning by IP address. I don’t think you configured anything wrong.

  You may want to add some form of captcha or user agent based filter to get rid of it. Good news is that it’s not necessarily something to worry about.

  I’d avoid IP based blocking. It’s only temporarily effective.

  My main concern at the moment is Mozilla’s money issues. I think AI services could likely make that worse.

  However, if they can work with local large language models to run client side, could be an amazing feature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t build AI into Firefox unless there is a tangible benefit.

  Firefox exists as a no-bullshit alternative to prevent other browsers from having a monopoly. It also exists to promote open standards on the web.

  It’s sad to hear 60 people lost their jobs, especially when the Mozilla Foundation needs all the support we can give them. They’re doing worlds of good by keeping standards open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google search is losing the fight with SEO spam, study says⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google allows ANYONE to submit links for crawling. It will also trust any hostname with any garbage content.

  I’ve been fighting the battle against spam from their platform for the last two years. I can no longer trust their user agents like I did in the past.

  If I see one more “SEO” query in Mandarin for “sexy little sister” or “sensual massage” with a telegram handle I’m going to lose my shit. They need some major policy changes if they want to maintain any source of credibility.
