thejuicemediaEvery election, we've made a video to help voters understand how our preferential voting system works. This is for the 2025 election. Good luck Australia! #auspol https://youtu.be/zXHq04W0kBs

Hey everyone! Hate AI web crawlers? Have some spare CPU cycles you want to use to punish them?
Meet Nepenthes!

This little guy runs nicely on low power hardware, and generates an infinite maze of what appear to be static files with no exit links. Web crawlers will merrily hop right in and just .... get stuck in there! Optional randomized delay to waste their time and conserve your CPU, optional markovbabble to poison large language models.

@muan public instance can get blocked/throttled by upstream search engines due to too many requests. It is essentially a search proxy/aggregator, so if an upstream sees too many requests it can block, and you will lose, say, Google results. Hosting yourself, even locally, generally prevents this.
@muan Not sure if you have tried https://searxng.site or any of the variants? I have run an instance locally for a while (just in a docker container), and it is my preference of those you mentioned so far. This is not as accessible as the others mentioned though, and if you cannot host yourself the public instances are not going to be a great experience.
BREAKING: The Labor and Liberal parties may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law that ensures taxpayer funding for their election campaigns under the guise of stopping Clive Palmer, but which will actually stop newcomers from competing with them, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two party system by Christmas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WTlyuhDs0
Honest Government Ad | How to rig elections
@kissane Literally looking in to this yesterday. Found this (I am in Australia): https://www.tauceti.org.au. So it has been done here!
Paul CantrellBecause they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.
Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”
So we got a takedown notice from Tasmania's Electoral Commission after it received a complaint - from somebody 🤔🤔 - claiming our latest Honest Government Ad breached the Electoral Act by showing a photo of the Tasmanian Premier. In a stirical video. One week out from an election. Apparently you can go to jail for that in Tasmania. Cool and normal. #politas
The Tasmanien Government has made a tourism ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfcqCdGqjWQ
