  • Could be a text chat funny: spoiler marked NSFW, but it's just a link to the C++ spec.

  • Bravo. My health insurance site is having issues but requires me give them a 2FA code. Their codes are only good for 5 minutes, but they're currently arriving after the expiration.

  • nginx frustrates me sometimes. I previously defined some error_page directives in my defaults for 502 and 504 to show a fancy page when my apps were down (maintenance or bug), and it worked. But recently I noticed they no longer do, and the internet's solution of enabling proxy_intercept_errors captures _all_ errors, not just ones I wish. I solved it by copying down the default blocks into the location blocks for each app, but I shouldn't have to. Also, nginx's docs n...

  • Ooo, turns out <dialog> can be triggered without JavaScript, the only problem is even if I set it to border: none; (or zero) it still seems to render with a 1px black top border, at least in Firefox. It's not an outline or a box-shadow, either. I can make it disappear by setting the borders to be 1px and white, but it'd be nice if it just did what I asked. I also noticed close buttons don't work unless set to type="button" when inside of...

  • I really dislike Git throwing up its hands when doing a merge if when local edited line 11 and remote comes down with an edit to line 12. Neither side conflicted with each other but yet it tells me to fix it myself. All these years, a new merge algorithm, and this is still a problem. 😑

  • Given the number of bots scraping things that shouldn't be, I propose we create a status code 469: Go Fuck Yourself.

  • RE: https://woof.tech/@asmcbain/117386042937410896 My pastebin I created for myself and an IRC channel is getting inundated with hits from meta-externalagent, which is apparently their AI-training crawler. Requests may be as spaced out as every 4 seconds, but generally much more frequent. Visiting the site creates a new paste automatically, and those pages have links to fork or view the paste raw, so it's just cycling and filling up my database as it tries to crawl an endless wastelan...

  • RE: https://woof.tech/@asmcbain/117386080624862589 I just `iptables -A INPUT -s ... -j DROP`ed the bomb on them. 🕺

  • The really weird thing about Facebook's AI training crawler ignoring robots.txt is their link preview process (with a different user-agent) respects the robots.txt so hard that even when I exempt it, it still thinks it's forbidden. 🙄
