I felt bad that PHP and Django were unfairly left out in the RoR misbrand (well, Wordpress is written in PHP but that looked a bit remote), so I decided to fix that: https://imgur.com/a/quN1aEa . Now THAT should make so

Thank you! Could not figure out Rails, was thinking about Django, Laravel but didn't think of Wordpress. I think (Django) with a PHP-like oval background would have been funnier.

I have a happy setup of Cygwin + Bash script invoking find/mv and a Windows Scheduler cron job to run it every 5 minutes. But to be honest, FreeFileSync is my first choice, but it was not viable for my use-case (moving files in Dropbox

The study methodology apparently involved a sample of high-traffic websites from https://tranco-list.eu . I have a hard time believing that the operators did not have to deal with such requests before. I always add the 30 day sta

Not necessarily via a button but all of the pages were submitted to them by 3rd parties. So, they don't seem to crawl to discover new URIs eagerly, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29643506 For example, I host

Recursive scraping: 1) can consume a lot of storage really fast 2) makes IA a bot rather than a user service 3) is already done on a case by case basis by ArchiveTeam allowing IA to stay away from the previous two problems.

They clearly explained that they don’t consider archival to be a robotic activity when a person clicks “archive this page”. It’s closer to saving a page with Ctrl+S and uploading it to IA. Removing data from the web in 2021? Hmm… https:&#x

I am not arguing with you on that. But my take is that once we notice an abuse of a federated system, we shall take steps to curb the abuse instead of saying "that's all federation's fault"!

You understand that federation is what allows you to call someone in New York from Berlin, right? Also, AS peering is a form of federation that allows you to open websites hosted in Netherlands while being in another country. I think I get

There is legitimate business concern. Amazon can collect my home address without consent (i.e. I type in my address but don't need to tick any consent checkbox; see [1]) and even pass it to DHL but without consent they can only use it

I am not sure if Europeans can even take this article seriously after reading about "cookie management requirements apply for EU websites generally" which is wrong in at least three major ways: GDPR is not just about cookies, GDPR

I think the scoring is done from the assumption that many users may be concatenating a log string instead of formatting it. If you format your log strings, 7.5 is definitely too high.
