I installed today @… and found a file named "ai_settings.json" and just... FUCK!
More AI bullshit infecting open source.

Proposed Enid data center project could bring $35 billion investment
The proposed 1,735-acre development would include four data center campuses, up to 3.3 gigawatts of on-site power generation and infrastructure tied to Vance Air Force Base.

For funsies I looked at what it would cost to get a new NAS with bigger disks.
Stop laughing.
The good news is that I can sell my disks second hand for twice the price I paid in 2019.

Work is super-busy right now with a lot of projects going on...
Do you know what will *not* help?
AI.
Do you know what will help?
Focusing and prioritizing tasks. Getting shit done. Doing high-quality work we can be proud of.

Spotted this in the 9yo's new classroom, and told the teachers that I appreciate it!

Did "vibe coding" used to mean something else, before the prevalence of stochastic bullshit machine emitting code-shaped text vomit? I have a vague memory of it involving /fun/ before 2024.

RE: #FuckAI

So... I was working on preparing forge.cloudsling.dev to open to the public, to start hosting #FLOSS projects for free, away from Github and other tech overlords...
Well, it will take some more time than I wanted. Our services have been down for around 1h because of a bots avalanche that have been scrapping all they could.
Now, the "attack" continues:
CPU usage above 80% of total capacity.
Outbound traffic at 3MiBps... when we only have 15 registered users, and only me is looser enough to be touching that on a weekend.
Shutting down the servers for the rest of this weekend... 💔

The Sloppening...

If anyone else want to confess, now's a good time as any... -_-

Things may be worse than I thought... I was tasked with doing some "online searches" for a method of attaching things to paper and came across multiple results that just have to be AI Slop photos showing off products.
Like, the parts of the web I typically hang out in do not have that level of shit...
Is it this bad all over the place?

Some of us here & on bsky are making the slop enthusiasts cry with all our anti-AI sentiment.
Come on, we're better than this.
We can make them cry even more!

We tweaked our firewalls and our Anubis rules. The attack persisted, but it was contained.
We also scaled our systems to avoid more accidental downtimes caused by these scrapping operations... Then the attackers scaled up their scrapping campaign, and found new ways to bypass our #Anubis config.
This past night I managed to come up with a stricter configuration that blocks virtually all of them (I don't know for how long this will last, though).
As of now, our Anubis instance is stopping around 40 requests per second.
I know that this is "nothing" for anyone working in very big systems, but bear in mind that this is after I already blocked around 3.5% of all the IPv4 addresses existing, and it accounts for 95% of our traffic. For every legitimate request we have, we have 19 that come from bots.
P.S.: In an ideal world, I would openly share the rules I found to work well... Unfortunately I don't think that would be a good idea. I don't want to make the scrappers' job any easier.
