  • The only non-lemmy.world account: Melon Husk™@sh.itjust.worksBanned in some community because: Widely reported as a likely unmarked bot using an LLM to generate engagement bait(Profile not deleted)

    telokic, sededor, pali, Yecoh, vanes, henaw2, kogito @lemmy.world: gone

    All post sorta normal news stories as "YSK".

    As others probably pointed out already, this is likely somebody playing with LLM bots (unmarked). Good riddance. Not sure about the first one though.

  • Just like yesterday. And the day before that. And all last week. Well, ever since January. 2021? No, I meant '25, but it could be just as well.

  • why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group?

    Jump

  • I asked three 5-year-old girls what they were playing. They answered K-pop demon hunters. Each of them had a different garish hair color (represented by colorful beanies). That's about all I know about K-Pop Demon Hunters.

    Well, son, a funny thing about regret isThat it's better to regret something you have doneThan to regret something you haven't done.And by the way, if you see your mom this weekendWould you be sure and tell her...

  • How long after starting Vitamin D supplements should you notice results?

    Jump

  • Here in the dark North I take - during winter only - 50µg daily. I never take it before going to sleep, but tbh I have no idea if it would even make a difference. Sometimes I feel a bit of an effect - like eating something rich in Vitamin C after a day without vitamins. But all in all, I don't think this alone will improve your mood.

    Argh! Order a deathtrap from AliExpress!(I got an electric shock from one of these once - hand made by my landlord - and tbf I'm still alive, but really, don't)

  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

  • If crowdsec works for you thats great but also its a corporate product

    It's also fully FLOSS with dozens of contributors (not to speak of the community-driven blocklists). If they make money with it, great.

    not exactly a pure self hosted solution.

    Why? I host it, I run it. It's even in Debian Stable repos, but I choose their own more up-to-date ones.

    Allow me to expand on the problem I was having. It wasnt just that I was getting a knock or two, its that I was getting 40 knocks every few seconds scraping every page and searching for a bunch that didnt exist that would allow exploit points in unsecured production vps systems.

    • Again, a properly set up WAF will deal with this pronto
    • You should not have exploit points in unsecured production systems, full stop.

    On a computational level the constant network activity of bytes from webpage, zip files and images downloaded from scrapers pollutes traffic. Anubis stops this by trapping them in a landing page that transmits very little information from the server side.

    • And instead you leave the computations to your clients. Which becomes a problem on slow hardware.
    • Again, with a properly set up WAF there's no "traffic pollution" or "downloading of zip files".

    Anubis uses a weighted priority which grades how legit a browser client is.

    And apart from the user agent and a few other responses, all of which are easily spoofed, this means "do some javascript stuff on the local client" (there's a link to an article here somewhere that explains this well) which will eat resources on the client's machine, which becomes a real pita on e.g. smartphones.

    Also, I use one of those less-than-legit, weird and non-regular browsers, and I am being punished by tools like this.

    All the self hosters in my internet circle started adopting anubis so I wanted to try it. Anubis was relatively plug and play with prebuilt packages

    edit: I feel like this part of OP's argument needs to be pointed out, it explains so much:

  • IMO this is largely Debian-specific: this distro seems to hold backward comaptibility in very high regard, so any problem is bound to have a multitude of solutions. In addition, the Debian Wiki is not as well maintained as you-know-whose.

    I see nothing untoward here.

    Except maybe that last sentence, what "s" are you talking about (fwiw, the man page that comes with an installed package should™ be the ultimate authority)?

    OTOH it's always one of the first things I disable on my phone. That being mandatory would piss me off.

  • At the time of commenting, this post is 8h old. I read all the top comments, many of them critical of Anubis.

    I run a small website and don't have problems with bots. Of course I know what a DDOS is - maybe that's the only use case where something like Anubis would help, instead of the strictly server-side solution I deploy?

    I use CrowdSec (it seems to work with caddy btw). It took a little setting up, but it does the job.(I think it's quite similar to fail2ban in what it does, plus community-updated blocklists)

    Am I missing something here? Why wouldn't that be enough? Why do I need to heckle my visitors?

    Despite all that I still had a problem with bots knocking on my ports spamming my logs.

    By the time Anubis gets to work, the knocking already happened so I don't really understand this argument.

    If the system is set up to reject a certain type of requests, these are microsecond transactions of no (DDOS exception) harm.

  • That was my first thought. And how many people have done this already? It's way too easy to take pictures of people while pretending to just be on your phone. They should introduce a little red LED when the camera is on, at the very least.

  • Why do I always have "dreams" that give me anxiety (aka: nightmares)? Why do I never just get to re-live my happy memories in my dreams? Wtf brain?!? This is outrageous! It's unfair!

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: this is not really about code, but about using IT in my non-IT workplace and I realized this just yesterday. A rant.

    I work in the social sector. Our boss seems to have slipped into position sideways (they did not do our work for a significant amount of time before).

    I got zero onboarding when I started working there; everything I know about the organisational ins and outs I learned by asking my colleagues.

    The boss seems to actively want to not inform me of things, i.e. even if I ask about something they reply in the most cursory manner or immediately refer me to somebody else. I have no idea why they do it, my guess is that they sense that they're woefully inadequate for the job, plus me being much older triggers insecurities?

    For example, when I could not log into an app to see my future shifts, I asked the boss about it first but they immediately refered me to tech support. Calling them, after a while we found out that the boss had mistyped my name. Then I could log in.

    Last week I was sick and waited til Sunday noon to check this week's shifts - but again I couldn't log in. The boss answered neither phone nor email. Fair enough I guess, on a sunday. Thankfully tech support was working and after a long while we found out that the app for checking my shifts only allows log-ins from within the workplace network, not the open web.

    I almost missed my monday shift because of that. Boss calls me, enraged. I explained the situation. They clearly did not know that the app only allows log-ins from within the workplace network.

    All my coleagues tentatively/silently agree that this boss is useless. How do we keep the workplace running, and why is it me who is left in the dark? Turns out they have a Whatsapp group. I don't use Whatsapp. They asked me repeatedly and urgently to join.

    tl;dr: this workplace would fall apart if people wouldn't communicate through Whatsapp instead of official channels
