I feel like this wouldn’t reduce costs, since the load is the same, but just moved to a different daemon, in this case nginx. I for one, pay for bandwidth on my VPS, so the cost for me would be the same.

One thought I’ve had, is to use a slow loris technique combined with a small pool of connections and an ai poisoner, to keep the scraper occupied for as long as possible, without using a lot of bandwidth.

I never thought of myself as an anarchist, I still don’t I guess, but after reading about the topic, I realize the term fit me perfectly.

But, what made me the way I am, are lots of books and growing up in an environment where I was taught to think and analyse.

Man, I know that feeling. One thing that helped me better deal with issues like this, was to have a changelog. Basically I write down what a setting was, what I changed it to and a reason. If something goes wrong, I can at least undo what changes I’ve made and see if it helps. It’s not perfect, but it might shave some hours off a RCA.

Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, im in disbelief. It was just weeks ago when they reported a website was spamming the parliament with emails. Now fucking Denmark is trying again, WTF Denmark!!!

Absolutely agree. I have been thinking of starting a selfhost guide that takes you through the different ways to selfhost and the basic concepts of it, but gave up because I’m a shit writer and my experiences are mostly docker, k8s and Terraform/OpenTofu.

I run a pretty barebone Archlinux with several distroboxes. My main motivation for this setup is that I work on a lot of different projects that all have very different setups. Running them in distroboxes make sure I can just drop the box, once the project is finished, and all code and data is just wiped, without having any impact on my main setup.

This is the same strategy I use with my family as well, I refer to a service they know and then tell them it’s in our house.

Sunday is upgrade day, meaning I will update the OS on my servers and then update all my helm charts.

Monkey island, Myst, Riven and Heavy rain.

As long as your method gives you the correct answer, I see no need to correct anyone.

Now would be the time for a scramble suit startup.

I use it sparingly and only to automate things I know how to do very well, so reviewing its work become easier.

Oh ffs, do we really have to say no to this shit every six months?

Yes, always!

There are actually a bunch of options to the old www. There is the smolweb, dark web and legacy protocols like gopher to escape to.

Had some last time I visited Bali, it’s delicious.

Mine still lasts the whole day, so no worries here.

Thanks for the explanation, TIL.

Is this really a problem that require robotics? I feel like a good nose rinse would suffice, but maybe there are extreme cases.
