I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.

The government is putting more and more pressure on journalists reporting on ICE.

We all must speak out against these chilling tactics.

ICE wants to work in secret. We shouldn’t let it

Journalism about ICE is increasingly under attack by officials who prefer government propaganda

#Codeberg tipped us about alternative to #anubis called #goAway. We are running it for 2 weeks in front of our #forgejo instance and it improved our uptime significantly.

Number of daily requests to our forgejo fell from cca 300k to a level which our server can handle.

Well that ended the conversation quickly.

Around 20 minutes later (with some assistance from Claude)

tab closed in a split second

Claude is hammering my sites with millions of requests a day, trying to steal whatever it can. It's costing me bandwidth, CPU, and other resources. It is doing the same thing to everyone, on a massive scale.

If you use Claude, or any of these LLMs, you, personally, support this carnage. You, personally, are responsible for the web becoming an increasingly hostile place.

Don't think ransomware is a life and death threat that our government should be helping critical infrastructure sectors defend against? Think again. https://news.sky.com/story/patient-death-linked-to-cyber-attack-on-nhs-hospital-trust-says-13388485

During today’s marathon Cabinet meeting, with reporters present, President Trump said that “changes are going to be made to the media,” adding “it’s hard to have a successful country if you have a corrupt media.” https://www.c-span.org/program/white-house-event/president-trump-holds-cabinet-meeting/662189

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (via https://www.science.org/content/article/it-s-nightmare-u-s-funding-cuts-threaten-academic-science-jobs-all-levels)

I deleted my X account after I saw a pro-H*tler post go viral with tens of thousands of likes and millions of views. Today, its resident AI posts anti-Semitic comments and references H*tler favorably.

The fish rots from the head as the saying goes.
