    @Børge @Jon Vær obs på at Aurora ikke har mulighet til å fjerne spionkoden som er bakt inn i så godt som alt du får via google's app-repo.

    Dennis Schubert wrote the following post Fri, 27 Dec 2024 01:20:02 +0100Excerpt from a message I just posted in a #diaspora team internal forum category. The context here is that I recently get pinged by slowness/load spikes on the diaspora* project web infrastructure (Discourse, Wiki, the project website, ...), and looking at the traffic logs makes me impressively angry.In the last 60 days, the diaspora* web assets received 11.3 million requests. That equals to 2.19 req/s - which honestly isn't that much. I mean, it's more than your average personal blog, but nothing that my infrastructure shouldn't be able to handle.

    However, here's what's grinding my fucking gears. Looking at the top user agent statistics, there are the leaders:
    • 2.78 million requests - or 24.6% of all traffic - is coming from Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.2; +https://openai.com/gptbot).
    • 1.69 million reuqests - 14.9% - Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.2.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.2 Safari/600.2.5 (Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot)
    • 0.49m req - 4.3% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)
    • 0.25m req - 2.2% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot) Chrome/119.0.6045.214 Safari/537.36
    • 0.22m req - 2.2% - meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler)
    and the list goes on like this. Summing up the top UA groups, it looks like my server is doing 70% of all its work for these fucking LLM training bots that don't to anything except for crawling the fucking internet over and over again.

    Oh, and of course, they don't just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don't give a single flying fuck about robots.txt, because why should they. And the best thing of all: they crawl the stupidest pages possible. Recently, both ChatGPT and Amazon were - at the same time - crawling the entire edit history of the wiki. And I mean that - they indexed every single diff on every page for every change ever made. Frequently with spikes of more than 10req/s. Of course, this made MediaWiki and my database server very unhappy, causing load spikes, and effective downtime/slowness for the human users.

    If you try to rate-limit them, they'll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they'll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.

    Just for context, here's how sane bots behave - or, in this case, classic search engine bots:
    • 16.6k requests - 0.14% - Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
    • 15,9k req - 0.14% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm) Chrome/116.0.1938.76 Safari/537.36
    Because those bots realize that there's no point in crawling the same stupid shit over and over again.

    I am so tired.

    @alcinnz Seems the web isn't overflowing with info on VisualAge stuff. But I've been able to dig up a few references.

    First, it seems it has been continued as the VAST Platform by Instantiations:
    #^https://www.instantiations.com/vast-platform/

    They have some docs on their website:
    #^https://www.instantiations.com/vast-support/documentation/1301/#page/ug/vaug01.html

    I also found a quite a bit by searching for VisualAge on the Internet Archive. Some of the more interesting ones I think are these:

    • VisualAge for C++ - Visual Programmers Handbook
    • IBM Visual Age C++ for OS/2 - Visual Builder User’s Guide
    • IBM Visual Age C++ for OS/2 - Building VisualAge C++ Parts for Fun and Profit

    These are, as you can see, for the C++ version, but the visual builder parts was similar. It was just more elegant with Smalltalk as you didn't need a compile cycle, and the language lends itself better to this type of dynamic coding.

    Hope that helps.

    @alcinnz Have you ever looked at the VisualAge Smalltalk system by IBM? I think that was a pretty interesting approach at the time. It was very centered around UI design, and attaching actions to the various UI elements.

    They tried applying the same approach to other languages later, like Rexx and C++, but especially the last one did not work as well conceptually.

    There's GUI design tools today that look somewhat similar to this, but don't really get to the same level and elegance that the original VisualAge Smalltalk system did. At least from how I remember it. It's been a few years...

    Have spent a significant part of the past week in the dark bowels of WordPress doing a much needed visual upgrade of the website of my band: https://imbalance.no/.

    The result isn't all bad, I hope. After wasting way too much time on the useless "full site editing" feature, I had to go back to the good(?) old ways of classic templates to get the result I wanted. It's not entirely finished yet, and more stuff will come, but for now I felt it was time to get something done, as we're preparing for a few live shows in the first half of next year.

    And if you just want to listen, we have a page just for that, made with the wonderful Faircamp from @Simon Repp.

    @lfa Really interesting doc! Lots of stuff I didn't know.

    The MSX machines were pretty cool too, I remember. Didn't have one myself, but an older uncle had one that I could play a bit around with. My first computer was a Dragon 32 (similar to the Tandy Color Computer in the US), but later I got a used Intertec Superbrain running a weird "multiuser" CP/M variant. Computers were so much more fun in those days!

    @lfa Oo, that looks interesting. I remember when the Lisa came, and while it looked interesting at the time, there was no way a kid like me could afford one.

    Anyways, thanks for the tip! This might be tonights entertainment :)

    @alcinnz It wasn't all that difficult tbh. Probably easier than today. We drew pixels into memory areas, and when it was time to display them they were copied to the proper area in the display memory. With the low resolutions and color depths at the time, this wasn't huge operations.

    Allow me the impertinence to begin by summarising your otherwise nobel-worthy piece of literature: In a nutshell, you say we should talk like you, fund like you, and disregard human rights like you. [...]

    Excuse me if this does not appeal to me.

    Has it even occurred to you that perhaps — just perhaps — we are not failing at being like Silicon Valley but that we do not want to be like Silicon Valley?

    Have you ever wondered if maybe we can do better than to adopt an excessively greedy system of venture capital and exits that funds spyware and treats people as capital to be bought and sold?

    This piece from @Aral Balkan is about ten years old, but sadly still relevant. (Although the context may have changed slightly.) Well worth a read!

    @Perpetual Beta 🇺🇦 I'd find it a bit weird to list the shortcuts of various desktop environments as Linux specific too. Most of these DE's run fine on other Unix-like systems as well, so they're not limited to only run on top of one type of kernel.

    @Alexandre Oliva Yeah, it's tiresome, but we have to keep educating them on the importance of a free and open web. And if they don't listen, leave them behind and find other providers of their services. And let them know WHY we're leaving them.

    So, I wanted to read a report published by Proofpoint, an IT security company, only to be met by this:



    The notice reads:

    That's a hard fail!

    Too bad I'm not a customer, so I can quit their service.

    @Gaute ⚡ Mikrobloggen Jeg lurer egentlig på hvorfor de må lage egne apper i det heletatt. Det burde være både enklere, billigere og bedre å tilby et standardisert miljø, og så kan vi bruke de programmene vi selv vil på toppen av det.
