Best ping is 127.0.0.1

It always resolves!

Chatgpt is just enforcing 4th law of robotics.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

It was originally published as part of a book compilation, and it was kind of hard to find a file with just that story and without typos all over the place.

One small old book that used to be hard to find in good quality. I’ve it seeding for years, and being so small and in risk of being lost I’ve never taken it down.

Do you have a proper robots.txt file?

Do they do weird things like invalid url, invalid post tries? Weird user agents?

Millions of times by the same ip sound much more like vulnerability proving than crawler.

If that’s the case fail to ban or crowdsec. Should be easy to set up a rule to ban an inhumane number of hits per second on certain resources.

How do you know it’s “AI” scrappers?

I’ve have my server up before AI was a thing.

It’s totally normal to get thousands of bot hits and to get scraped.

I use crowdsec to mitigate it. But you will always get bot hits.

Histeria clickbait makes money. Extra points if some kind of agenda can be pushed so more people share.

Nah. That analogy does not work.

Piracy situation is more like you have made a cool statue and you charge people money for looking at your statue. Then someone comes, looks at your statue, and goes away without paying.

There’s no thief, nothing was stolen at any point. The one how came looking without paying was probably never going to pay for an entrance, and the statue can me still be looked by anyone. Nothing is loss in the process, no harm is done. Some guy just looked at a statue without paying for it.

Piglet is still there in the morning though.

I have it on docker with two volumes, ./config and ./cache

I back up those before each update.

A bad Jellyfin update should not mess with your media folder in anyway. Though you should have backups of those aswell as a rule of thumb.

A good human translator is always the best solution.

But if the choice would be between crappy google translate or a LLM I would take the LLM translation.

There’s no excuse for a big studio, they should hire translators. But for indie creators without a budget it can be the best way to get their creation to more people.

I’ve been using jellyfin for years.

My best recommendation is DELAY UPDATES and back up before you update.

I have a history of updates breaking everything so you should be careful about them.

All software recommends backing up before an update, but for jellyfin the shit is real, you really want to back up.

I signed.

But I’m 100% sure that the decision will be “no”.

But anyway it’s good to make more people aware of the issue.

How does it differentiate an “AI crawler”, from any other crawler? Search engine crawler? Someone monitoring data to offer statistics? Archiving?

This is not good. They are most likely doing the crawling themselves and them selling the data to the best bidder. That bidder could obviously be openAI for all we know.

They just know that introducing the sentence “this is anti AI” a lot of people is not going to question anything.

Google CO2 emissions were 1.5 MTo in 2010. By 2018 they were 13 MTo. In 2023 they were 14 MTo.

I’m sorry but there’s more to the story that what’s being told in the article. For starters any dataset that takes 2019/2020 as their base line is skewed, we all know what happened that year.

And, on the other hand, Google emissions increased by almost a 1000% in ten years before AI.

Truth is more important than that agenda or the dogma. That article does the wild assumption that a big share of the increase in electricity usage is because AI. It may be, or it may not be, but the article presents zero evidences for that claim. And data in hand we know that google can use a ton of electricity without AI. So the impact of AI may or may not be as big as portrayed by the article. And it also disregards completely the massive increases in google emissions before 2019.

And you also need enough self control not to just disable it each time you want to enter.

Title seems misleading.

As the micro plastics were found on the paint outside the bottle cap. It seems complicate that that ended on the drink itself. Unless you are licking the bottle cap it doesn’t seem that relevant.

The bullshit is good it triggers the Cunningham’s Law in my brain.

Sometimes it’s easier to come up with a solution correcting something blatantly wrong than doing it from scratch.

So… Are there any cryptocurrencies that the owners hold in mass and are trying to get profit by selling them to users in a “pay to win” system?

Last time I checked bot IPFS and plebbit had those… Which is why I steered away from those projects.

They have their uses. For instance the other day I needed to read some assembly and decompiled C, you know how fun that can be. LLM proved quite good at translating it to english. And really speed up the process.

Writing it back wasn’t that good though, just good enough to point in a direction but I still ended up writing the patcher mostly by myself.
