Webspace Invaders · Matthias Ott
There’s something happening on the Web at the moment that almost feels like watching that old arcade game Space Invaders play out across our servers. Bots and scrapers marching in formation, attacking our servers wave after wave, systematically requesting page after page, relentlessly filling their data stores while we watch our access logs fill up.

'Wasserfall' #FotoVorschlag 'Waterfall'
Some locations came to my mind when I read the topic this morning and my wife immediately mentioned that location. This is probably one of my best photos.
The water flooded over the stairs on the right, creating a lot of little waterfalls. Luckily I did bring my tripod and a considerable amount of time so that I could tak…

Catching up on a few stray pods this morning:
🎧Career in Ruins - archaeology with Derek Pitman and Lawrence Shaw. I like the practical and career-focussed slant to this.
🎧Tides of History - er, history. I like the way Patrick Wyman weaves it into a personal story.
🎧Front Row - general cultural stuff that I can feel remote from in my day to day.
🎧Film Stories - Simon Brew is a great presenter and really draws you in to what went on behind the scenes of the films we all kn…

It's #TacoTuesday 🌮
Trump announced that he will suspend his threatened bombing of Iran’s energy infrastructure and bridges for ...(wait for it) ... two weeks.
The New York Times is reporting that Iran has accepted Pakistan’s two-week cease-fire proposal following frantic diplomatic efforts.
The newspaper quotes Iranian officials as saying the ceasefire was approved by the new sup…

Mixtape (Multi, XPd on PC)
"On their last night of high school, three friends embark on one more adventure together. Play through a mixtape of memories, set to the soundtrack of a generation.
Skate. Party. Avoid the law.
Make out. Sneak out. Hang out."
This is the 2nd game from Beethoven & Dinosaur, following the excellent The Artful Escape, so I had high hopes for it. These hopes were not dashed. As someone that also "came of age" in the 90s, …

"One proves political maturity by not banging on about injustice, by not troubling too much the rich and powerful. To try it out, simply stand in front of a mirror and slowly declare yourself to be “pro-business and pro-worker”. If you can do that without flinching at the obvious contradiction, then congratulations! You too can be prime minister"
This isn't my analysis of why #Starmer

Running independent websites is like planting flowers in front of your plot, on the public lane that the municipality doesn't care about.
You have to deal with people trampling over them because the pavement is not wide enough for their groups. The junk flying over from the nearby supermarket. Asshole neighbor throwing empty alcohol bottles out. Dog shit. And if you succeed nevertheless, people will just come over and dig it all out, to take into their own gardens.
And then some bright libertarian will come and tell you that you should be grateful and praise their ingenuity.

Lincoln Kennedy Makes Feelings Clear on Raiders’ WR Situation https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/lincoln-kennedy-feelings-clear-wr-situation/

The search for the liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water is challenging
owing to rapid crystallization.
We studied supercooled water at timescales before ice formation
by heating high- and low-density amorphous ices
using infrared ultrafast laser pulses,
followed by x-ray scattering.
By varying the pump laser fluence,
we accessed liquid states straddling the predicted critical point.
We observed a crossover from a discontinuous t…
