Adoption of the Euro currency is mandatory for European Union member states. Only a few states have negotiated an exception (Denmark, previously UK?) and others like Sweden apparently keep delaying somehow. Bulgaria doesn't have much l

Why is it useless and harmful? Many of us are struggling—without massive budgets or engineering teams—to keep services up due to incredible load from scrapers in recent years. We do use rate limiting, but scrapers circumvent it with residen

This is great news. It's nice to see alternative (ie non-US, non-FAANG) funding for open source projects. Another one I saw was the Sovereign Tech Fund. https://www.sovereign.tech/

The responses were not constructive. It is dfficult to argue with idealogues. Community forks of Firefox and Chrome are not a long-term or sustainable solution. Even larger commercial forks cannot stand on their own without upstream develop

Happy to be running Caddy on a growing number of servers instead of renewing certs through certbot. Caddy has really good defaults and does the right thing with TLS certs without much hassle. Less moving parts too.

I found Dan's recommendation to use rootful with `userns=auto`: > User= causes lots of issues with running podman and rootless support is fairly easy. I also recomend that people look at using rootful with --userns=auto, which will

Yep! My experience on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was that I needed to create a system user to reserve the subuids / subgids for Podman (defaults to looking for a `containers` user): useradd --comment "Helper user to reserve subuids and

In the last week I've had to deal with two large-scale influxes of traffic on one particular web server in our organization. The first involved requests from 300,000 unique IPs in a span of a few hours. I analyzed them and found that ~

I've heard about this for a few years but never tried. Do they handle like if you have rental income, foreign bank accounts, and other complications? Thanks!

I use both csvkit and xsv. The syntax for csvkit is a bit easier for most of my uses, but xsv is way faster when I have larger files. I know someone who uses csvtk (Golang), but haven't tried it yet. https://github.com/

I read Butterick's Hyphens and dashes some years ago and it stuck with me. Now I regularly use hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes correctly—I even memorized the Unicode sequences and enter them seamlessly on Linux with Ctrl-Shift-U!

I think it's strange to focus on "FOSS sites" in this article. I have regular corporate sites that are getting slammed by ChatGPT, Perplexity, ByteDance, and others too.

Parent probably meant hundreds or thousands of IPs. Last week I had a web server with a high load. After some log analysis I found 66,000 unique IPs from residential ISPs in Brazil had made requests to the server in a few hours. I have broa

Came here to ask the same thing. I started on Hotline and ended up on Carracho in the late 1990s. That orange icon!!! I used to tie up our house's phone line trying to chat with people and download things.

Another related idea: use fail2ban to monitor the server access logs. There is one filter that will ban hosts that request non-existent URLs like WordPress login and other PHP files. If your server is not hosting PHP at all it's an obv

Cool project! I asked some questions and got good answers. I was surprised to get results from the Hadith though, as I thought it would be restricted to the Quran and they are (as you know) not the same thing.
