Queer leftie anticapitalist sort currently in the netherlands; computers fear it.

I tend to infodump about the stuff I'm working on, which at the minute is mostly somewhere between a database engine and a web-based diagram editor.

I really like a language you've probably never heard of called idris that's quite different from most. I'm currently trying to teach it to people and use it to learn type and category theory. I also write a lot of rust and i used to write fedi software.

The @lwn web site is currently under the most intense scraper attack I have seen yet. 1.3M unique IP addresses within the last couple of hours, and it's not done yet. The work we have done on defenses appears to be paying off, though; the server is holding up reasonably well — so far.

...just in case anybody wonders why I have a rather dim view of the whole AI industry...

The publisher Springer claims it can only discuss why it retracted some of Planck's papers with... Planck!

But until they hold a seance, they are happy to sell you completely redacted versions: blank pages for $39.95 or more each.

I'm going to sleep. If anyone is wondering why the #inkscape website is down, it's because it's being crushed by AI bots again, so I've taken it offline.

I tried to put in more ip-blocks, and then tried to install Anubis. But I'm not a sysadmin and so this is just taking time to do. Can't do much of it tonight (this morning) so I'm afraid it's staying offline.

Edit: Thanks for the help from @thomzane getting the server back online. It appears to have been Facebook attacking.

Hello everyone,

All the services we offer are down and unreachable. We are currently investigating the cause. For the time being, it appears that all three servers are without power.
