sometimes sucks to live in Taiwan a sorta non-country in international banking. Saxo bank doesn't let me open account. swissquote has new rules for HK, China, Taiwan, and Macao. ugh.

wonder where other #expats living in #Taiwan invest online?

AI Tarpit. Fuck all those AI bots. Love it!

https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/

This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLM's - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.

It works by generating an endless sequences of pages, each of which with dozens of links, that simply go back into a the tarpit. Pages are randomly generated, but in a deterministic way, causing them to appear to be flat files that never change. Intentional delay is added to prevent crawlers from bogging down your server, in addition to wasting their time. Lastly, optional Markov-babble can be added to the pages, to give the crawlers something to scrape up and train their LLMs on, hopefully accelerating model collapse.

Just rewatched "Back to the Future" (1985). Still holds up. My kids loved it, too!

it seems the only thing #idiocracy got wrong was the colour of the president. if only they had known about the new skin tone - orange - when it was filmed.

4 months using #NixOS and still haven't found a way to make ibus-chewing work.

in Fedora i just do

dnf install ibus-chewing

also if #bluefin had a configuration file, that would be incredible. kinda like nix but maybe just run a command 'bluefin-profile backup'. it could spit out a file bluefin.profile.

the profile could store: flatpaks installed, remotes installed, settings in GNOME like dark mode, language settings, etc.

it would be an awesome way to 'sync' across different bluefin laptops i use.
