I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?

why did they call it ‘Web Prolog’ instead of ‘PlanNET’? was it just so that people couldn’t say ‘hack the PlanNET’ every time a vuln was found? that’s a bad reason.

QOTD: ‘The web is broken because it is a half-hearted, incomplete implementation of Xanadu.’ (Source: https://dev.to/tux0r/comment/586n)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net My take on this is… let’s let people ruin the web. Let centralized services control everything. But let us tech savvy people stick together and provide an alternative space for us. A space that’s welcoming to those that want to join and learn. Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z. Maybe they want to learn from us Internet-Dinosaurs :)

Re: generalism vs specialism & polymathy – BREADTH IS DEPTH because knowledge is a web, not a tree. It only looks like a tree if you SPECIALIZE.

Reading about Web Prolog & it reminds me a lot of the work I did on Mycroft. I wonder: how will routing work here? If fully-qualified predicates have an explicit hostname component, Web Prolog can go fuk.

Meanwhile on the web: SourceForge advertises its GitHub importer…

Writing long, overly complex, & logically flawed apologia of bad mainstream ideas in order to recast them as revolutionary is a growth industry. (See the ‘intellectual dark web’, whose major unifying trait is boringly normie positions.) Why not reach for a surreal or absurd take?

The most interesting thing about https://www.fastly.com/blog/headers-we-dont-want is the indication that the culture of the web is a cargo-cult one where we will waste kilobytes per response on redundant headers that were deprecated 20 years ago or present possible security problems

and when two wizards love each other, their aspects intermingle, a giant spider grows scales of gold while the clockwork starts looking more organic and web-like
