Tim ChaseI'm getting very @mwl vibes from this 😆
noplasticshower@cypnk let the LLMs beware
Søren Have@cypnk That hurt. 😬

Yeah, in-house consistency is very useful!
Principle of Least Surprise applies to code as well as to UI.
Damian was explicit in _Perl Best Practices_ that internal consistency in a codebase was the prinary goal, that his recommendations were just a starter set (chosen to minimize oopsies) that should be adjusted to local taste. (Uri & I got a couple footnotes and sidebars added in AlphaReading where tastes varied.)

For a fun one, Ovid's SciFi MMO-RPG "Tau Station" is a lovely project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWy9bC8lBns .
(He's also the architect of our next, and finally core, OO framework.)

Sounds useful, but either you're down for maintenance or using a blocklist that keeps rotating ISP IPs listed too long?

@BRicker yup, it’s got a list of 800000 subnets from AI crawlers gathered during a fairly heavy attack back in February, one of the reasons for writing the tool in the first place.
I should be able to clear down the list, probably tomorrow and rebuild now the tool can be used in anger.
Growlph Ibex@cypnk I legit love how Perl celebrates the creativity of finding cursed new ways to do things.
@growlph What is a curse, but a blessing in disguise /ducks

Yes. Otherwise known as /yes/
