Which companies are we talking about here? In my case the traffic was similar to what was reported here[1]: these are crawlers from Google, OpenAI, Amazon, etc. they are really idiotic in behaviour, but at least report themselves correctly.

I don't understand, why do people resort to this tool instead of simply blocking by UA string or IP address. Are there so many people running these AI crawlers? I blackholed some IP blocks of OpenAI, Mistral and another handful of comp

It's worth mentioning that the X11Libre fork of X.org has recently added the Xnamespace extension [1], which is inspired by this. Instead of a single bit trusted/untrusted it allows to isolate clients into containers where interac

The neovim terminal is pretty decent, the only feature I miss is reflowing the text on resize. I haven't used the vim one extensively, but I've heard it may even better than the neovim one.

I didn't know about this option, thanks. I had the same issue and solved it the hard way: I blackholed IP addresses from a bunch of ASNs (openai, microsoft, mistral).

Tokamaks can also be operated in steady-state, at least theoretically. The reason a tokamak is pulsed is due to the fact the toroidal current is driven inductively, so there is a limit to how long you can keep increasing the current in the

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but you got everything completely wrong. First of all, writing state and configuration files in the home directory, without any well thought out structure, has been a common practice since
