@domi I had to do the same thing a couple weeks ago because they were breaking my Forgejo, though I used a generated denylist: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/blocking-llm-scrapers-on-alibaba-cloud-from-your-nginx-configuration
today, i have IP-blocked the entirety of alibaba cloud’s IPv4 range (47.80.0.0/13, 47.74.0.0/15, 47.76.0.0/14). And you could ask - domi, what the hell, that’s kinda sorta a lot of addresses?
fucking watch this: that’s sakamoto Mk5, my Ryzen 9 7950X3D server. Never before have I seen forgejo taking this much CPU.
They’ve generated 9GB of access logs (!) and 230GB of generated tarballs (!!!) before I got to my laptop, investigated and ip-banned them. I’m positive that most forgejo deployments in existence wouldn’t survive this.
If you needed another reason to fuck generative AI today - here’s one
@elilla In fairness, that seems like a pretty viable business model nowadays 🙃
Cautionary tale, some details of horrible accident, everyone survives.
@joepie91 someone close to me came inches from dying this way recently. Clothing caught in angle grinder, no dead man switch. Minor chest and shoulder injuries, made a full recovery. Slightly different angle would have gone through the side of his neck.
@rune (It's called STACKIT)
@rune Well, it seems to have an order form 🙃
@elilla Wait, that's the Lidl cloud, isn't it??
Free software is about granting people rights, and as such it is incompatible with racism. It is incompatible with homophobia. It is incompatible with "gender critical" ideology. Those people all reject the idea that all humans have rights based on who they are are ideologically incompatible with free software and deserve to be sidelined. We can replace anyone's contributions, we can't replace all those they drive away.
since i see we're brassicaposting again, once again i'd like to share this figure from a peer reviewed academic paper
@modulux The problem is less the trying to solve issues through technology, and more the doing so at the expense of other factors, often even reinventing 'solutions' in a worse way than what we already have by insisting that it be solved by technology and not in any other way.
military, detransition, transmisia
when they talk about "men" using self-ID legislation and similar to avoid conscription and write in contingencies to suspend legal gender changes I need y'all to be aware that they mean us with that. they will have no qualms about conscripting transfems info the military and force-detransitioning them. what do you think has been happening in Ukraine?
oppose imperialism always, but y'all can miss me with uncritical support of nation states and patriarchal institutions.
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
