I’m kind of tired of late of telling support folks, for example, ym registrar, how to do their fucking goddamn jobs 🤦‍♂️

Hi James,

Thank you for your patience.

There are several reasons why a .au domain registration might fail or be cancelled, including inaccurate registrant information, ineligibility for a .au domain licence, or issues related to Australian law.

For a full list of possible reasons, please see this article: https://support.onlydomains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/6415278890141-Why-has-my-au-domain-registration-been-cancelled

If you believe none of these reasons apply to your case, please let us know so we can investigate further.

Best regards,

Yes, so tell me support person, why the fuck did it fail?! 🤬

Good to see so many folks starting to come back to our little non-social social ecosystem 👌 Good to also see twtxt.net starting to peer with 7 other pods in the greater network too! 🥳

I was having a stroll and heard this weird crackling noise. Took me a moment to realize that it’s coming from the tree above me. I looked up and didn’t see anything at first, because of the bad light. And then I saw it: About 10 parrots (alexandrine parakeets or rose-ringed parakeets) were sitting up there, heaving a feast. 😅

(Video isn’t great, because this is my smartphone and the light was bad.)

So blackholing my Gitea instance’s DNS for the day seemed to have worked 🤣 (if only I had a real target I could have made their fucking crawlers DDoS themselves 😂) – Let’s also see if enabling DDoS proection on the Edge via Vultr’s DDoS capability also helps? 🤔

Tired to re-enable the Ege route to git.mills.io today (after finishing work) and this is what I found 🤯 Tehse asshole/cunts are still at it !!! 🤬 – So let’s instead see if this works:

$ host git.mills.io 1.1.1.1
Using domain server:
Name: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Aliases:

git.mills.io is an alias for fuckoff.mills.io.
fuckoff.mills.io has address 127.0.0.1


PS: Would anyone be interested if I started a massive global class action suit against companies that do this kind of abusive web crawling behavior, violate/disregards robots.txt and whatever else standards that are set in stone by the W3C? 🤔

Oh fuck me! I had basically turned off the route to git.mills.io last night and went ot bed at ~2AM after unsuccessfully trying to control the attacks (bad bots) that were behaving like a DDoS attack. Tried to re-enable the route this monring and *BOOM, they’re back! As-if they never stopped?! what da actual fuq?! Anyone have any clever ideas of what I can do here to allows normal users, like you nice folk and block ths obnoxious traffic?!

AI systems being egregiously resource intensive is not a side effect — it’s the point.

And someone commented on that with:

I’m fascinated by the take about the resource usage being an advantage to the AI bros.

They’ve created software that cannot (practically) be replicated as open source software / free software, because there is no community of people with sufficient hardware / data sets. It will inherently always be a centralized technology.

Fascinating and scary.

When I try to login to PayPal I now see:

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker

Here’s the thing. PayPal takes fees from transactions and payments received and sent.

I have very right not have ads shoved in my face for something that isn’t actually free in the first place and costs money to use. If PayPal would like to continue to piss off folks me like, then I’ll happily close my PayPal account and go somewhere else that doesn’t shove ads in my face and consume 30-40% of my Internet bandwidth on useless garbage/crap.

(#u3q2tea) @arne@uplegger.eu Das klingt interessant. Aber wer definiert, welche Projekte darunter fallen? Keine Ahnung wie das sonst so mit dem Ehrenamt ist, aber das müssen ja dann auch gemeinnützige Vereine oder etwas Vergleichbares sein, oder? :-?

Wenn ich in der Petition schon wieder KI les, wird mir gleich anders.
