I have a separate instance that doesn't really federate, and it's been quite 'interesting' to monitor the logs for all these scrapers.

Also Friendica is very noisy for some reason? requesting a bunch of endpoints on discovery even tho you don't really federate with them

@angilly @f0x text search that bypasses blocks (i.e. literally anything that scrapes fedi into a centralized data store) is an enabler for harassment and is therefore a massive red flag

just because the data is there and the use is permissible doesn't mean it's ethical

Assorted list of Fediverse scrapers you might want to block on the network level (some more malicious than others)

git.pixie.town/f0x/nixos/src/b

another scraper by an (ex-?)twitter employee, running without recognizable user-agent (uses the typhoeus library with defaults)

fediverse.network scrapes a whole range of endpoints, but the site it refers to is just a parked domain

another scraper in my logs, "fedimapper" by hachyderm.io/@tedivm/109569119

not sure why it needs to scrape my domain_blocks with that stated purpose

maybe i should try writing happy poetry lol, but then it's easy to get sappy? can't win huh (and can't write, anyways)

im completely sober but in a car ride so you all have to deal with my bad thoughts cause I have nothing better to do

not sure if that's always a bad thing though, it reminds me of vibes over plot. aesthetics can still be meaningful?

maybe it's just that the other option, actually being sincere, is even scarier

how do you write poetry without continuously thinking you're just being pretentious/deep without meaning

the opening poem with the same title, Collapsed in Sunbeams, is really nice

What if instead of putting my estradiol in MCT oil i put it in MCR oil and it cleaned up your looks with all the lies in the books

It's a new year (make sure to hydrate because I know half of y'all are hung over, LOL), and I'm looking for a new gig.

Ideally, I'm looking for a contract and/or part-time project as I want to spend a good chunk of time on my projects (check out my bio for deets) in 2023. I've been a professional graphic designer, web designer, and developer for 20+ years (
https://roiskinda.cool/profile.html) and most recently transitioning into product management, with a particular emphasis on technology because of my background.

I'm open to full-time project management opportunities as long as they are remote. I'm not looking for full-time design or development roles at this time.

If you're curious about a particular aspect of my background, experience, skills, etc., please send me a note, and we can chat.
