I'm fully for age verification if it protects:
- kids in war zones
- kids in abusive families
- kids from poverty

... anyways, I'm happy that Anubis works. The difference is immediate: botnets (mostly from DigitalOcean) that were attempting to break in with stupid slow attacks and were filling access logs are gone.
But I half-broke #ActivityPub WP plugin somehow. It doesn't federate post and status updates properly.
Something with http header forwarding.
This is still black magic to me.

Age verification laws means every child predator who can create a website or an app will know if they're interacting with a potential victim.

And now, with vibecoding, literally EVERYONE can create a minimal website or app. These legislators are serving up victims on a silver platter.

**Dagnje**

Preden je stric v zguljeni rumeni reklamni majici začel prodajati dagnje na buzaru, je z utrujenim očesom preletel množico turistov, ki so šetali gor in dol po promenadi kampa.

Dve veliki črni litoželezni posodi sta čakali, da jih odkrije in pokaže školjčno specialiteto svetu. Ma kakšna specialiteta le, saj to niso ne ribe, niti polži, ampak navadni filtri. V pol ure so končani, […]

Ker je znano dejstvo, da ljudje (ali vsaj velik del ljudstva) veliko razmišlja o rimskem cesarstvu, je tole izjemen vir. Več kot 7000 pisem iz poznega obdobja cesarstva, ki jih lahko pregleduješ, filtriraš po avtorju, prikažeš na zemljevidu ... Vrhunsko. https://romanletters.org/

Sentences in post above are probably gibberish for non-IT folks.
But the bottom line is:
If I don't understand X, LLM will not help me understand X.
Using it for generating, for example, code, will end badly.
Nothing replaces 'ledersitz' (sitting with a problem and studying the literature).
I almost fell into 'I want to believe' trap.

Partial success with Anubis and another proof that genAI is stupid as fuck.
I admit I was lazy and played with LLMs to help me out with architecting and configuring anubis+reverse proxy. It was a total failure, nothing useful came out.
Then I sat several hours studying Anubis docs and yesterday it finally clicked how I should set it up:
Internet --> nginx (443) --> detour to anubis (via TCP because I don't understand sockets well) --> back to nginx (8080) --> backend.
Static & yuno works.

When LinkedIn starts to send emails - ads for stupid online games, then you know they're desperate for increasing users' engagement.

The first 'low code' tools for semi-serious use case I used was IBM's VisualAge for Java (around y2000). I somehow liked it.
It was fun and I could quickly build UI, attached event model to the UI elements, connected to the controller and database layer.

But when I started modifying generated code I hit a wall. Round trip mapping (model - code -model) didn't work 100% reliably.
We ditched it and the next project was without low code tools.
