Hey, you, reader:
Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"
Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.
Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.
You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

Had a friend beg me to get on Substack, again. I tried to say I will not do so for a whole, heh, host of reasons. So to all, here is my RSS feed. Share it with someone that likes blogs about living an anxious life as a blind person. Fiction and creative Nonfiction. I have a podcast with blog post narrations for those that cannot, or choose not to, read. https://sightlessscribbles.com/feed.xml #RSS #IndieWeb
I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.
I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.
Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.
This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.

If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.
To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.
Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.
This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.
