Since that happens to the best of us, I envision writing a wrapper script around {n,}pfctl that asks for confirmation upon detecting that you’re logged in via ssh through a specific port AND detecting that the new rules would block that port.

I’ll just throw in the mandatory ‘always on the wrong side of history’ cliché.

Exactly. Only small businesses and individuals have to honour the GDPR, not them.

In Briar, it’s only possible to send images - not any other file, as of this writing.

They have a very clear stance on not rushing releases, and focusing on security and stability rather than features, which is laudable, but on the flip side that means one must probably wait for months, if not years, for new features.

Try Mojeek. I don’t like, at all, that it’s based in the UK, but at least it’s not Gringoland. Easy-to-use, own web index, truly independent company with own ad syndication (no Bing).

Don’t tell the Orange maggot. He’ll try to 'grab ‘em by the p***y’.

I’ll just throw in the mandatory ‘He didn’t choose Orange Life. Orange Life chose him’.

Well, now that y’all put it that way, I think it was pretty naive from me to think that these companies, whose business model is basically theft, would honour a lousy robots.txt file…

What advantage does this software provide over simply banning bots via robots.txt?

There are now studies (I/you need to look up the references since I’m now in a hurry) which posit that, especially in bigger organisations, 80% of the work gets done by 20% of non-managing individuals - because of exactly this phenomenon.

The scam isn’t ‘hard work’

The scam is the ‘a job gives you(r life) purpose’ narrative.

Nope, times a thousand. Meaningful relationships, having realistic (but still challenging) goals, self-expression, responsibility for the well-being of others and engaging in meaningful initiatives, among many others, do.

I actually did, but people don’t normally have conversations about why NATO is a good/bad idea on first encounter 😆

I have never met anyone who supports NATO

What the… is this a real photo? Does she actually look like that??

From a purely technical perspective, I am very interested in reading/researching just how they are planning to implement this.

From a social/democratic perspective, I am very interested in finding out just what the hell they mean by ‘a well founded suspicion’. Interesting times ahead.

Turns out…You can’t claim to be superior if you aren’t superior. Who would have thought.

You’re absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.

It’s 2025. If you are getting a ‘free’ software product, there’s a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either ‘analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention’ or a combination of many or all of them.
