The development of modern AI heavily depends on reliable training data, and web scraping provides it at scale. Scraping gathers real-world content that helps LLMs understand grammar, sentiment, trends, and domain knowledge. With well-processed scraped datasets, AI models become more accurate, more knowledgeable, and more capable of solving real challenges.

make sure to opt out of LinkedIn's AI data scraping agreement (unless you want your data to be used as training data).

Stable?
I think I’m at a place where I can write about this now.
If you’re a faithful follower of my blog, you may have noticed a degradation in performance over the past few weeks. Writing and posting to the blog has also become maddening during this time, as I would get frequent “You are offline” messages from WordPress, images wouldn’t update reliably, and at times I couldn’t connect to the site at all.
Our domains were living on a shared server via a hosting provider in Canada; there were many websites hosted on our meager shared virtual machine (the ‘cloud’, if you will). One of my Raspberry Pis could have probably provided more horsepower.
When I asked about the performance issues I was seeing, the hosting provider let me know there were other sites on the server getting hammered by bots and the like, and they attributed it to that.
Over this past weekend everything to do with anything jpnearl.com, the websites, the email, all of it, either came to a screeching halt or disappeared from the Internet completely. I raised another ticket and the hosting company promptly responded. Our domain was being overwhelmed by bots and AI systems scraping my blog for training data. It was to the point that no one could even get into the server to try to do anything.
This is when I put up the generic “Hello, world” message that was there for a couple of days.
After a big ding against our household budget, our domains were moved over to a standalone server. The standalone server is much more robust than the shared VM we called our virtual home. And all seemed well for a couple of hours.
The bots and other AI scraping devices found us and started scraping any and all data it could find in full force. Things started crashing again.
When it comes to hosting my own domain, email is my primary concern, with the blogs coming in second. I took down the blogs again to get email working. The hosting company’s support team jumped onto the server and made numerous adjustments to the configuration to help mitigate some of the automated attacks that were occurring. I also went ahead and put the entire domain behind CloudFlare, which is designed to keep this sort of thing at bay. If you have a website, you should really look into CloudFlare.
Don’t be surprised if you get asked if you’re a human once in a while when you’re visiting the site.
I also cleaned up a lot of outdated WordPress plugins I had installed over the year. In addition, I cleaned out a lot of cruft in the underlying file system; this domain has been around for over 20 years and there’s some files I’ve thrown on the server that I haven’t thought about in a long time, but the likes of ChatGPT found them very interesting.
I believe our migration is complete and the security around the server is stronger than it has ever been before. I was thinking I would completely turn off integration with the Fediverse, but I determined that wasn’t an issue and have turned it back on. I know several folks that follow along via Mastodon and the like. I don’t want to lose my connection with them.
The Internet of 2025 is nothing as it was intended to be and it’s primarily become an infestation of bots talking to bots and A.I. Large Language Models raping as much data as it can from sources all over the world all in the name of “training”. When people talk about the Internet being dead, I completely agree. It’s a shame, because back when President Clinton was talking about the “Information Superhighway”, I thought connecting computers together would enrich, enlighten, and teach us so many new things.
Never once did I think I would have to reboot the cat’s litter box because it is connected to the Internet.
Since the rebuilding of the support mechanisms around my blog has been a fairly pricey endeavor, it has prompted me to double down on what many consider to be an outdated mode of communication: long form writing on a personal blog.
I am focused more than ever on keeping this (repolished) nook on the Internet alive and well. At least until the next hosting bill arrives in a year or so.
