It’s already hard enough for self-hosters and small online communities to deal with spam from fleshbags, now we’re being swarmed by clankers. I have a little Mediawiki to document my deranged maladaptive daydreams worldbuilding and conlanging projects, and the only traffic besides me is likely AI crawlers.
I hate this so much. It’s not enough that huge centralized platforms have the network effect on their side, they have to drown our quiet little corners of the web under a whelming flood of soulless automata.
Anubis is supposed to filter out and block all those bots from accessing your webpage.
Iocaine, nepenthes, and/or madore’s book of infinity are intended to redirect them into a maze of randomly generated bullshit, which still consumes resources but is intended to poison the bots’ training data.
I wonder if someone techy can turn the Sworn Book of Honorius into a software program that actually summons spirits and grants powers.
Fun fact though, Trithemius (an influential Renaissance occultist) authored the Steganographia, which provided the basis upon which modern cryptography was built.
Hah, reading the introduction to this book out of curiosity…
…And he through the council of a certain angel whose name was Hocroel, did write seven volumes of art magic, giving to us the kernel, and to others the shells.
I was up 10 to 20 percent month over month, and suddenly up 1000% it has spiked hard and they all are data harvesters.
I know I am going to start blocking them, which is too bad, I put valuable technical information up, with no advertising, because I want to share it. And I don’t even really mind indexers or even AI learning about it. But I cannot sustain this kind of bullshit traffic, so I will end up taking a heavy hand and blocking everything, and then no one will find it.

So pick your poison
We’ve officially reached a place where cyberspace is beginning to look like communing with the arcane. Lol

That IS a fun fact. Super cool!

Is that real? Holy shit. Linux is based on a grimoire!
Lol! Source is like the second to last paragraph of “Prologue.”
A ton of Linux usage involves the direct or indirect management and commanding of daemons, too. <_<
I think we cracked it: Linux is free and open sourcery. XD
Lol I’m really curious about the etymology behind all these computing terms now!
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out something like “kernels and shells” was a historically common analogy though.
How does one seek initiation into the Order of Torvalds? Asking for a friend…
And the AI are demon souls, specifically aspects of gluttony
Oh we’ve got bots for every vice and deadly sin now, taking after their creators.
Kinda neat that for now, we’ve found a way to Dr. Strange mirror-dimension them for the time being. I hope those techniques proliferate quickly.
I don’t care what the “commercial net” does at this point. I just want the indie web to survive.
