CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@baldur this was a great read, thanks for the link.

@babelcarp When I wear a watch, I treat it as jewellery.

@gintoxicating Just recently I finished moving all my domains from Gandi to hosting.de

@loke @sanityinc @tzz Same. And what if I'm root? Do I even install packages? I guess I shouldn't.

@mttaggart @screwlisp Oof:
“The paper was written collaboratively by the research team on Overleaf. To build this website, Chris gave Claude Code three things: the LaTeX source of the paper, a reference web template (baulab.info/menace), and the raw OpenClaw session logs for five of the bots. Over roughly eight hours, Chris directed Claude Code step by step — reviewing each section, catching errors, making design decisions, and iterating — while Claude Code handled the actual reading, log cross-referencing, HTML generation, and evidence linking.” – Agents of
Chaos, Natalie Shapira et al. including a large language model

@theresmiling many moons ago I had a similar request and collected the answers here: https://transjovian.org/view/web-sites/index

Today MJ12bot made 2570 request to my blog but it got trapped by garbage so 2487 answers involved random word salad from Moby Dick.

"Majestic is a UK based specialist search engine used by hundreds of thousands of businesses in 13 languages and over 60 countries to paint a map of the Internet independent of the consumer based search engines. Majestic also powers other legitimate technologies that help to understand the continually changing fabric of the web."

No thanks.

"MJ12bot adheres to the robots.txt standard. If you want the bot to prevent website from being crawled then add the following text to your robots.txt:"

   User-agent: MJ12bot
   Disallow: /

I guess my robots.txt doesn't match that exactly:

#  curl https://alexschroeder.ch/robots.txt
User-agent: Wibybot
User-agent: Xobaque
User-agent: search.marginalia.nu
Allow: /view/

User-agent: *
Disallow: /
DisallowAITraining: /

I still feel that this should block most bots.

@johntimaeus I’m not familiar with “ReaR” – but I did copy all the data from source to target, I know how to stop all the databases, my problem is “rebuild initram, etc”. More specifically: I ran grub-update and a did a few things so the machine boots and I can see its terminal showing the correct host name – but it’s not reachable via the net. So something is different between the setup of source and target system. I tried copying a bunch of files from the rescue system into the target system and rebooting but to no avail. I am still missing some feature to bring the target back online.
