So, the “AI” bots have reached my website. Looks like they’re just slowly crawling everything at the moment – no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, there’s not that much data on my server anyway … And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesn’t trigger “standard behavior”, like “this is a Gitea instance, let’s crawl this like crazy!”?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yes, both the newsletter and the podcast, from time to time.
@prologic@twtxt.net I was not expecting much, but since the list of restaurants near company buildings, was hard coded into it, I did expect it to at least copy the menu text, from the websites, in its database. Ironically, the only restaurant where it got something right, is the only one, where the websites has the text as a transparent PNG, the AI has to convert to text.

@thecanine@twtxt.net do you read ed zitron’s newsletter? he writes in depth about how AI is a crock of shit it makes me feel normal for once

Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing there’s 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says there’s none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check… it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.
Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).
Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.
Restaurant 3: it says “food” and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

bon en fait mon script pour convertir ma bibliothèque en mp3 faisait du caca. J’ai revu ma copie en 3 parties : rsync des fichiers, find avec print0 pour la conversion et éviter les soucis de noms de fichier, xargs pour convertir plusieurs fichiers en parallèle, find pour supprimer les fichiers d’origine. Pas très efficace, prend de la place, mais ça marche…

git pull on one of my repos – once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You better push new code sooner!!
As @bender@twtxt.net says, that sounds like a bot. I’d just block the IP address, hoping it doesn’t change all the time. But then you know for sure that it’s the AI fuckwits.
Also, the devil in me thinks it’s funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oi, that has to be a bot. AI bot? Maybe not, but still a bot. I see this becoming more and more of an issue, sorry to say…

So far, this isn’t causing any issues. I think this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I hope this doesn’t mean that the “AI” bots have finally discovered my page …

OpenBSD 7.7 released
Another six months have passed, so it’s time for a new OpenBSD release: OpenBSD 7.7 to be exact. Browsing through the long, detailed list of changes, a few important bits jump out. First, OpenBSD 7.7 adds support for Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point, Strix Halo, Krackan Point), Radeon RX 9070 (Navi 48), and Intel’s Arrow Lake, adding support for the latest x86 processors to OpenBSD. There seems to be quite a few entries in the list related to power management, from work on hibernation and suspend … ⌘ Read more

Let’s give PRO/VENIX a barely adequate, pre-C89 TCP/IP stack (featuring Slirp-CK)
Only a few weeks ago, I linked to Cameron Kaiser’s excellent deep dive into the DEC Professional 380 running PRO/VENIX, and now we have a follow-up. Fortunately, today we have AI we have many more excellent and comprehensive documents on the subject, and more importantly, we’ve recently brought back up an oddball platform that doesn’t have networking either: our DEC Profess … ⌘ Read more
