Yes, It's the "real koutsie".

I love the smell of ☕ in the morning.
I do technology in many levels and fail at even more. Sysops, Bash, Go, Linux (Arch, Armbian) etc.
IPv6 is the current protocol!
Also sometimes photography and arts?

@gytisrepecka @simon_brooke @Codeberg Anubis seems to do a solid job for our Forgejo development instances (and at @Codeberg, too). See forgejo.org/2025-04-monthly-up

Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:

20.171.207.41   GPTBot/1.2
85.208.96.211   SemrushBot/7~bl
54.36.148.64    AhrefsBot/7.0
114.119.139.53  PetalBot

With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest :blobcatscared:

They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack :blobcatfearful: Well, in a sense it is one :blobcatnotlikethis:

Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape :forgejo: content and starts doing it on a massive scale :blobcatoutage: Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?

For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough :blobcatumm:

Please boost for visibility and be prepared!

Dramatic spikes in network traffic observed on my self-hosted Forgejo instance, caused by corporate AI bot scraping

You know, I could write a whole blog post about this—and I might—but I think we need to start addressing the very likely possibility that the *entire thesis* that “UI should get out of the way” and “apps should focus on content” is wrong.

Apps aren’t just for looking at photos or videos. They’re for navigating through these things, organizing them, editing them. The tools to do those things should not get out of the way. They should be clearly defined and separate from the content.

A screenshot of the Photos app on macOS Tahoe, with Liquid Glass toolbar buttons, icons, and a search field, which blend so much into the content that they’re barely noticeable.

This Saturday 5 July 🐧 Linux install parties in #Germany and #France (all times local)! 🚀

* Repair-Café Kahlgrund, Niedersteinbach (#Bayern), 10h30-16h

* ComputerCafe Stuttgart Kaltental, #Stuttgart, 13h-17h30

* Premier Samedi du Libre, #Paris, 14h-18h

For details and more events worldwide: endof10.org/events/

#EndOf10 #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #Linux #GNULinux #Windows #Windows10 #Windows11

Flyer for the End Of 10 campaign. The background colors are a mix of blue and purple, with blobs of green on the edges. 

Top left: End Of 10 logo of four boxes falling over. Under a QR code is the website URL https://endof10.org.

Top right: The title "End Of 10: FOSS Instead Of Toss".

The text on the flyer reads:

"""
Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you make your existing one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's likely no reason to throw it out. By installing an up-to-date Linux operating system, you can keep using it for years to come!

Installing an operating system may sound hard, but you don't have to do it alone. There may be some people in your area who have volunteers to help! Scan the QR code or visit the URL above to find someone to help upgrade your system to Linux.

Five Reasons To Upgrade To Linux:
1. No new hardware or licensing costs
2. Enhanced Security
3. Good for the planet
4. Community and Pro Support
5. Better user Control

@karppinen christ....

here's a bussiness idea:
SBC4AI: put all your traffic through a caching single board computer with a gigabit nic and watch the ai requests end before they can scrape shit (because the sbc will die :D)

App notifications are the worst invention of the 21st century. Who decided the computer was allowed to bother us like this. It works for us. It should speak when spoken to.
