Definitely a human. Certainly not just two droids in a lab coat.

My wife just asked me if Github was a tech version of Pornhub and I didn't have an adequate argument that it wasn't

What does the fox say?

Not a damn thing. This motherfucker is clean on OPSEC.

@Ichinin Really though. It’s an investment. Everyone should have one. Definitely. Don’t over think it.

I’m generally against censorship of the arts.

However.

As someone with a daily commute, I feel strongly that including sirens of any kind in music…. Straight to jail.

@jordgubben @itsfoss I’d be happy to get behind this, but unfortunately it’s very likely that California is only the beginning. Other states ready have similar laws in the pipeline.
The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

@raphaelmorgan ha. Yeah - good call.

Depending on what you’re using for DNS & domain hosting, it’s worth looking at Cloudflare’s AI bot blocking implementation (which is free if you’re already hosting anything there).

I can make pro & com arguments about Cloudflare - but it’s a pretty neat thing they’ve built and also neat that they offer it for free because then you don’t need to spend time chasing down specific subnets / domains to block by hand.

@raphaelmorgan You may run the risk of blocking traffic from actual users that are using Amazon Workspace (their virtual desktop environment), and perhaps real users that are having their traffic routed from their company and out over an AWS VPC.

Also you might be blocking humans who are doing something like using an EC2 instance as part of a personal VPN exit node (I.e. TailScale / TwinGate)

It might be worth trying to do a deeper behavioral analysis of that traffic just to confirm whether it’s more likely automated or human - but depending on your intended audience… I’d probably still block it.
