Quick strategy discussion, for those who understand Google indexing and SEO:
If I want to yank a web site out of Google’s now-fully-extractive search, should I (1) disallow googlebot in robots.txt or (2) add `<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">` to all the page headers?
The goal here is not just to remove my contributions to the commons from Google’s results, but to •make Google aware• that sites are pulling consent. What will best do that?

A cartoon-style illustration of an anxious, sweating brown horse standing inside a futuristic, sci-fi spaceship hangar or laboratory.

The horse has an anthropomorphic, worried facial expression with wide eyes and sweat drops flying from its head, highly reminiscent of the art style from *Bojack Horseman*. It is wearing a leather harness connected to metal chains and electronic devices strapped to its back. A bright purple electric arc shoots from a large machine in the background, striking o…
A cartoon-style illustration of an anthropomorphic brown draft horse looking highly stressed and overwhelmed at an office desk, drawn in a style reminiscent of *Bojack Horseman*.

The horse wears wire-rimmed glasses, a blue plaid button-down shirt, and a brown herringbone vest. It has wide, anxious eyes and visible sweat drops on its forehead, holding one hoof to its brow in a gesture of panic while clutching crumpled papers in its other hoof.

The cluttered wooden desk is filled with stack…

#PhantastikPrompts 20.6: Nenne deine Lieblingsschreiborte.
Mein Schreibtisch - da steht der Tower drunter, da habe ich meinen Sessel, in dem ich ungekämmt und in Gammelklamotten beim Schreiben mal halb liege, mal mit gekreuzten Beinen sitze.
Mein Sofa - da schreibe ich im Liegen, im Winter unter einer Kuscheldecke, während der Fernseher nebenher läuft.

Was ist dass denn für ein Müll, der hier in meine Mentions kommt?
Eine starke Demokratie ist der beste Schutz gegen Faschismus, davon bin ich fest überzeugt. Aber jetzt schreiben mir irgendwelche Accounts, dass Demokratie quasi die Ursache des Faschismus sei. Was sind das für Irrlichter? Haben wir hier nun auch ein Bot-Problem?

How silly an idea would it be for an Ethernet switch to (when enabled via the ssh management interface} expose a scpi server for a 16 lane BERT allowing you to do PRBS testing, adjust equalizer taps, and (most importantly) do non intrusive RX eye opening monitoring?
