Its making the open web hard to keep up for small entities thats for sure.

This has happened to me personally. I have a very small git server sitting on a very small instance. I noticed my traffic was spiking for the past few days and thought nothing of it.

After I looked at the logs, it was 6 ip addresses. 1 Amazon LLM search and open AI with the other 5. I added them t the fail2ban and thought nothing of it. About 10 min later, openAI had a multitude of new IPs hitting the server again, specifically the git repos. I again looked up to confirm that, yes it totally was OpenAI.

I had to create an AI blackhole with python and create new rules just to stop the LLM madness. It worked but im tempted to put a very small capta like give me 2+2 on a form in order to see my code.

Worst part, I had a robot.txt that totally blocked the indexing of my sites. But they just didnt care.

GL! One of my favorite open source projects!

Calibre can also be a server. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server. I use it all the time with my library.

Excellent!

Nice! Look forward to using it. Thanks everyone!

fascinating! never knew.

I threw it up on Codeberg. Ill add in instructions later mastodon-to-hash-as-mblog. Feel free to fork and add what you want. Ill add in a README in a bit.

One thing to note, you HAVE to create an API token from the mastodon server of your choice in order to make this work. Theres probably a way around this, but I havent found it yet.

I can’t get it to work unfortunately. Going to write up a big report. If anyone gets it working let me know.

I see: https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation that does something similar …hmmmm

Aww man…that sucks! I guess thats an uninstall for me.

I use Mastodon to follow people and Lemmy to follow topics.

I actually created a Proof of concept where each hashtag would be a subreddit like interface a couple of weeks ago. Its VERY rough but links2 compatible :D. The idea is the first hashtag will be the “lemmy community” like interface. Its just mastodon.py with a very small fast api front end. Popped it up in an hour or so. I need to work on the UI badly but I keep not having the spoons.

Im just not seeing it honestly. Most people just dont care, they only have enough $$ for one major console. And then they go with that console for a while. Its only the diehards that care and that may be who is “complaining”.

My wife and I were looking at Croc and just talking about getting it for SD. My biggest issue is controls. I would like to know if it is easy/hard to get the controls working. Im tired of spending weekends getting a couple games working not off of steam.

Ill be looking into heroic! Thanks for the tip.

Its interesting we are seeing the same comments by both playstation and micosoft circles.

Wow this company is not scary at all… https://www.dataminr.com/

They have a github: https://github.com/dataminr

Looks like they work with google as well: https://github.com/dataminr/looker-dashboards

All the github profiles that are part are only 3 years old.

Yep im also going to wait til its out to make a judgement call.

Indies are so good right now, and most without crazy DRM!

I had the same issue. OpenAI was just slamming my tiny little server, ignoring the robots.txt. I had to install a LLM black hole and put a very basic password protection around my git server frontend, since it kept getting slammed by the crawler.

As much as I dont like google, I did see them come in, look at the robot.txt and no other calls for a week. Thats how it should work.

Remember he has a much bigger stake in starlink than testla.
