All I wanna do is get weird on the web and make high-quality nonsense with friends. One of fedi's purest souls. No swores; no lewds; no hate; no time like the present. I respect all of the people. 🫂 I self-host thisis.mylegendary.quest and am the sole user. “Twizzay is kind.” — @satan@hell.social Read the long bio here: mylegendary.quest/about All who choose to follow are subject to the TOS enforced by this instance: thisis.mylegendary.quest/static/terms-of-service.html :linux: :blobcatfingerguns2:

FWIW liking also helps posts travel the fediverse.

If you like a post of someones that you are not following it will pull it onto your instances federated timeline and also relay it to other instances that are following your relay.

nostr:npub1ygrf5pf0ahkyyyrngv3twymqcz7pav6ssymrhdj90luscm9llszq56cg6z That might be a default tbh but it is effective and terse!

I recently got into using my web server configs to redirect known bad user-agent strings and paths (like wp-login.php when I’m not using Wordpress) to a CGI script that prints about a gig of text.

As I’m typing this though, I’m finally working on a more robust CAPTCHA solution. I found a module that takes a number and returns a unicode Roman numeral, so I’m thinkin “What number does this Roman numeral represent?” kinda challenge (idk how to phrase that more intelligently rn)

nostr:npub1ygrf5pf0ahkyyyrngv3twymqcz7pav6ssymrhdj90luscm9llszq56cg6z At no point did I actually think to look at their robots.txt… Honestly this is a good ledger of ‘known bad crawlers’ lol.

I found out years ago that (at that time anyways) they had a bunch of regular expressions saved off somewhere to match known spammy/URL shortner URLs so I grabbed those to use to filter my guestbook spam lol

I bet a few other non-profit/free websites also keep a good index. Archive.org is surprisingly permissive. They were my next guess.

I for one, tend to like robots.txt like your instance has.

nostr:npub1ygrf5pf0ahkyyyrngv3twymqcz7pav6ssymrhdj90luscm9llszq56cg6z I don't think so... But someone else more knowledgeable might be able to help you better.

I decided to look it up because we are talking about it now and it is no longer just an annoying thing I think about in my head all alone anymore.

Anyway.

I like the guy person who wrote the comments for their robots.txt. I can feel their cynicism and it feels so good.

Why do linux systems take so long to tell you that you got your password wrong?

nostr:npub1ygrf5pf0ahkyyyrngv3twymqcz7pav6ssymrhdj90luscm9llszq56cg6z there’s far too much rube goldberg complexity that changes every 8.3 seconds.

You think it would be better if things had fewer dependancies?

nostr:npub1ygrf5pf0ahkyyyrngv3twymqcz7pav6ssymrhdj90luscm9llszq56cg6z is this like Bertie Bott's All-Flavour Beans? 😬

nostr:npub1ztxcrpp7m7japy6nrzqwy72v6g5alnqaxuda8cm9m63ffnfe0c4q67t572

I think so. Except while Bertie Bott's beans can taste like anything, this only has one flavor:{everything}.

Also those beans are made by wizards. And this is just made by the Los Bagels company.

Had a dream that I had joined a dance crew run by Linus nostr:npub1xkxfvcvk2mr5swj806vrpkk297l4jr0wa9t4uxmxwgr2fuplp7xqvr06au . And our uniforms were the McDonalds uniforms from like 2003 and we all rode around in servpro vans together.

Also, at one point I turned a maple tree into a beet plant. So we were likely all warlocks as well.

How'd everyone else sleep last night?

Lol well you’d probably love Nostr.

It’s not quite like that though. That’s a much cuter story.
