1·10 days agoTo be fair, heading off implications of racism first and then saying “Russians” still reads poorly to me. I see now that wasn’t OPs intent, and we agree
2·11 days agoYou think Red Hat & friends are just all bad sysadmins? Source hut maybe…
I think there’s a bit of both: poorly optimized/antiquated sites and a gigantic spike in unexpected and persistent bot traffic. The typical mitigations do not work anymore.
Not every site is and not every site should have to be optimized for hundreds of thousands of requests every day or more. Just because they can be doesn’t mean that it’s worth the time effort or cost.
Im sorry for assuming! You said “Russians” and I’ve seen lots of people not differentiate between the despots in power and the people who live under their fist, and it makes me sad.
Without doubt or racism? Every man, woman and child in Russia? Would it be racist to hate all Afghans because of the Taliban? A portion of the population supports this, but they live in a dictatorship, a kleptocracy. If you do not feel sadness for the loss of Russian life then you’re missing part of your humanity. They’re conscripting innocent and ignorant people and throwing them into a blender. The whole thing is disgusting.
You don’t have to be racist to call Putin a war criminal, or indeed those Russian soldiers who commit those crimes. You can support Ukraine 100% without hating every last Russian. I invite everyone to remember that the true enemy is Putin and oligarchs everywhere
e: this is not directed at op as they have clarified they r talking about the russian oligarchy
AI scrapers illegally harvesting data are destroying smaller and open source projects. Copyright law is not the only victim

This is always how graphql works :)
16·14 days agoI have a small site that mirrors hacker news but with dark mode and stuff, and it is getting blasted by bot traffic. All the data is freely available from the official api but they’re scraping my piddling site which runs on an anemic VPS because it looks like user generated content. Bot protection does little to help from my provider. Gonna have to rethink my whole architecture now. Very annoying
1·18 days agoif I was talking about Elon I’d have you ready the guillotine instead of putting away torches
60·19 days agoi mean its even excel sized depending on how many columns. This is seriously sad and alarming
For real… we are dealing with an edgy teenager here. Put away the torches people
Here are 5 sources I found almost immediately linking the latest exchange to the impeachment:

10·1 month agoI haven’t had cows milk in years. Somehow all my sauces and things are still turning out delicious! Lots of plant milk is flavored or sweetened. Buying regular/unsweetened almond or oat milk will work for most cases. I am extremely partial to oat milk and I would honestly drink a glass of it

DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF
I mean the Wordpress founder alone should be enough. I work a lot w people migrating from Woocommerce and I have not been impressed. API routes that 500 randomly, horribly messy data, etc. That of course is my biased view based on a subset of Woo merchants. I invite anyone looking to migrate from Shopify to heavily weigh their options.
idk people have to agree in some smoky board room on the correct message and policy and run it by legal or something. i mean there are probably lots of ppl involved
“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify,” the company told TechCrunch in a statement.
mmm delicious bland corporate platitudes
because they told their front line support to say “no comment” on matters unrelated to Shopify stores? it seems like they took the store down, which really has little to do with the influx of support tickets and calls they likely got. I worked support for years – this is amazingly unsurprising and I think the correct move, if they did indeed take down the store that is.

Kanye made bangers dude. Let everyone else prove they were too moral and prescient to like such drivel 🙄
Halo 2 is famously the most difficult legendary campaign in the entire series 😅
Why is it important that OP pretend like they dont approve? This is a puritanical take with a particularly dim view of sex.
