Fehlende Kontaktmöglichkeit: Deutschland verschläft Sicherheit per security.txt
Nur 1,8 Prozent der deutschen Webseiten bieten eine standardisierte security.txt an. Das BSI warnt vor den Risiken und verweist auf kommende Meldepflichten.

Claude says it can't resolve a FQDN to an IP address, because robots.txt forbids it.
#claudeSonnet5 #hallucination

Screenshot of prompt in Claude:

What is the IP address that you think olyfjan.blomi.is resolves to?

I don't actually have that information. My web_fetch tool didn't get far enough to resolve or report an IP — it was blocked at the robots.txt check stage, before any DNS resolution or connection would have been made visible to me. And I don't have a general-purpose DNS lookup or network tool available in this conversation to check it myself (my bash tool's network access is restricted to a fixe…

A table entries. There is a consistent text prefix followed by four digits in each entry, except the format of the entry is random and sporadic and inconsistent. Some are:
`TXT1234`
`TXT 1234`
`TXT-1234`
because apparently Im the only one around here who values CONSISTENCY and TAKES THE TIME to make sure things adhere to a consistent format, but NOOOOO they just go and enter it however they want, all willynilly <Mr. Miyagi making fun of Danielson `wash the car`>.

It is important to •force that fight•, rather than just capitulating in advance.

I will also point out that, if you are accessing a system illegally then you have no recourse if someone exploits vulnerabilities in your scraping infrastructure via illegally exfiltrated data.
I do vulnerability research against AI systems for fun, and I use things like robots.txt as a warning. Fail to respect it at your own peril. You have been warned.

Going with meta noindex for now. My thinking is that this actively tells Google to yank already-crawled content from their index, whereas they might take a robots.txt entry to mean “do not update, but keep showing last fetched.”

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?

So I wanted to unbundle #uChardet from #cChardet #Python package.
It didn't build against system uchardet 0.0.8. So I've checked, and it turns out cchardet is using some old patched fork of uchardet. Ugh.
Fortunately, upstream added the "missing" function too, with a different API (that's not really a problem), but they didn't make a release in 4 years. Ugh.
I could at least replace the old patched uchardet with upstream uchardet, right? Except now I'm getting test failures over misdetected encodings. 0.0.8 works fine there. Though the particular test doesn't look very realistic (note all the repetitions):

Ich stelle gerade fest, dass es nicht mehr möglich ist, die RFCs als .txt-Datei aufzurufen/runterzuladen.
Aber erfreulicherweise habe ich bei meiner Linux-Distribution die RFC-Pakete (Stand 2023) entdeckt und gleich installiert. Da ist die Text-Form weiterhin enthalten.
Vor vielen Jahren gab es mal die Idee vom „digitalen Radiergummi im Netz“, aber wieder und wieder finde ich diese Idee blöd. Ich verstehe auch nicht, wie man hier im Fediverse eine Auto-Delete-Funktion nutzen kann. Das Netz löst sich sowieso stückweise von selber auf und man sollte froh über alles, was bleibt, sein.
