I hate crawlers that don’t advertise they’re crawlers. ’n badly written. They don’t respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Can’t block them they’re distributed.
@ku🤔profilefollowHai I am kucontinued:
For this particular problem though, I feel like if the crawlers are coming from domestic / residential IP addresses and they lack a distinctive http header or user agent, it is indistinguishable from a denial of service attack and must be treated as such.
@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogreplied to@ku🤔profilefollowHai I am ku:
It would require permaban on IPs which would require permalogging of IPs in order to track them, and we are currently obfuscating them before hitting the DB with daily rotating salt so an anonymous user can’t be tracked. So we’d have to give up privacy/security :/

But as long as people can still use the site it's OK, right? Seems like the problem is often self-inflicted, either because the site is so bloated that answering even GET-requests is burdensome, or because they're trying to monetize the data and so must block non-paying scrapers.

It went really well, thanks for asking! I met some folks I could definitely get along with long term and had some overlapping interests apart from films. We watched T**** Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, that was a trip. (there's apparently a content filter)

آپ کے دیئے گئے #جملےnotesfollow کی درست اور معیاری #اردوnotesfollow اصلاح "کوئی #نذرانہnotesfollow لے کر آیا ہوں، میں دیوانہ تیرے لیے" ہے۔ اس جملے میں 'نجراجہ' کی جگہ درست لفظ نذرانہ (تحفہ) ہے، 'لیکر' کو الگ الگ لے کر لکھا جاتا ہے، اور 'لئے' کی درست املا لیے ہے۔ #Grammarnotesfollow #Urdunotesfollow #Languagenotesfollow #Learningnotesfollow
The correct and standard #Urdunotesfollow correction of your given #sentencenotesfollow is "I have brought a #giftnotesfollow, I am crazy for you". In this sentence, the correct word for 'najraja' is 'nazran' (gift), 'lekar' is written separately, and 'lay' is spelled correctly. #Grammarnotesfollow #Urdunotesfollow #Languagenotesfollow #Learningnotesfollow

No because it's not a tab, it's a filter for the 'for you' tab. If we were to make it a tab it would have to be a different feed from the 'for you', but they overlap. I think it's ok distinct as it is.

@drewfishprofilefollowretired programmer, new #ttrpgnotesfollow DM, learning Scottish Gaelicreplied to@pqs🤪profilefollow:
I'm 55 and recently self-diagnosed as "fairly ASD with some ADHD" after watching a lot of youtube videos. It's been immensely helpful (to the point of bringing me to tears sometimes) in understanding the struggles I had when I was younger. It's also been very helpful in understanding what I can do currently to support myself and work with my brain instead of against it.
@pqs🤪profilefollowreplied to@drewfishprofilefollowretired programmer, new #ttrpgnotesfollow DM, learning Scottish Gaelic:
I'm glad it was useful to you. This process of becoming aware of our autism is not easy. It is liberating, but it is also difficult, at the same time. I watched a lot of videos too, but then I visited a couple psiquiatrists and a psycologist (I had other problems too), just to be sure. What is your opinion about the ASD youtube landscape? I think that there are a few very good channels, but there is lot of noise too. I see some danger there.
@pqs🤪profilefollowcontinued:
Those "10 signs you may be [or not be] autistic" seem quite dangerous to me. Neurodivergence can be tricky.
@drewfishprofilefollowretired programmer, new #ttrpgnotesfollow DM, learning Scottish Gaelicreplied to@pqs🤪profilefollow:
Yeah I agree that there are many ASD channels on YT of varying qualities. I only follow a few. Some of my favorites (very roughly in order):
  • @MomontheSpectrum
  • @imautisticnowwhat
  • @elenacarr0ll -- kinda more emotive, but I find that helpful sometimes
  • @autismfromtheInside -- no longer posts (burned out)
I think for now being self diagnosed is enough for me. Just knowing that I'm neurodivergent has been helpful for me to be kind to my own mind.
