Mkay, another plan for the coming weekend: a blog post. One that teaches a couple of tricks with which you can drive away a large percentage of the crawlers with no extra software, just your regular nginx/caddy/apache/whatever - and it only requires a few lines, nothing complicated, and it is extremely cheap to perform.
You can do 90% of what iocaine & Nam-Shub of Enki does, with any of the popular reverse proxies / http servers!
(iocaine will remain useful for the other 90% though. hehehe.)
⚠️ #fediblock
The instance mastodon.manalejandro.com, specifically the user ale@mastodon.manalejandro.com, is performing scraping of the Fediverse via ActivityPub through this URL: mcp.manalejandro.com (it is recommended to block it).
They are using it to feed their AI and track content across the Fediverse without consent.
🚨 This is not the first time.
👉 Admins: it’s recommended to block this server to prevent it from collecting data from your users again.
The anti content-warning crowd may want to know about this nefarious form of censorship being promoted on the modern web!! Truly the worst form of repression, the tyranny of an extra click!

I am not silencing myself this is a subject line and intro
Content-warnings are like email subject lines and nobody complains that having to write a subject line for an email is censorship or a personal affront. Complaining about such a benign feature is usually missing the point about how they are even used by most people.
Nobody says they are being silenced when writing an email subject line just because someone has to tap or click a thing once. The fucking melodramatic kickback from people about this feature to this day really startles me. It is as nonsensical as right wingers constant whinging about "pronouns" as if a grammatical particle can hurt them.
Feel free to enjoy the convenience of collapsing this long email-like post back under the content warning and resuming scrolling. You'll be able to find it easier by searching, and it won't take up as much room once you've read it, sure signs that I love oppressing and stifling my own speech /s 🙄
gen AI usage in FOSS project
just accidentally read the README for keepassxc and found a "generative AI" section, which just says significant usage will be marked on PRs
the most recent commit (a PR merged) includes github copilot as the coauthor and one of the project members as the committer of that
copilot was explicitly added on 2025-06-19 with the first explicit sign of github copilot use on 2025-06-19 (earlier with unmarked things is unknown). there has been 0 releases with any explicitly marked copilot code, so 2.7.10 is the last one before it includes any known AI code.

Children in Egypt were lured through online games with promises of rewards, then arrested in security raids for posting political messages. Now they're in prison, charged with terrorism, and held without trial. https://continent.substack.com/p/battle-royale-how-egypts-anti-terror
