Anubis doesn’t really do anything if the bot knows about it and doesn’t send the bits Anubis looks for. There are a few other heuristics that you can enable in the Anubis config, but it is a principal issue with how Anubis works. The general idea is that if a bot doesn’t send the things Anubis looks for, then it should be possible to distinguish it from regular browsers by that, but then you are back at a manual whack a mole game and given the extensive use of residential proxies these days it is very much a losing battle.

Anubis recently added a honeypot with automatic IP logging though that might help in combination with fail2ban. But in the end if scraper bot authors are already circumventing Anubis intentionally, it is probably also only a temporary respite.

The rage baiting left-liberals? Yeah, I suppose 😏

There are always people that have time to invest in low risk activities but can’t invest them in high risk ones, usually because of dependents they need to take care off.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

Civil disobedience literally can’t exist without a support network and there are plenty of examples where it has existed with the state doing little to nothing to prevent that. There are always ways to fly under the radar for such support networks.

Destroying flock cameras is not a bad idea, but it is largely inconsequential. Style over substance so to say.

This kind of labour intensive farming is actually orders of magnitude more efficient (on an acres of land farmed basis) than mechanized industrialized farming.

But you are not entirely wrong that “community gardening” is insufficient, but good luck convincing anyone to engage in serious civil disobedience etc. when there is no alternative support network that can feed them while doing so.

Thanks. The selection of texts makes it clear that he has slowly moved from being a serious journalist to a pundit that publishes mostly opinion pieces that cater to conservative and latently racist audience and are likely also attempts at rage baiting left-liberals. Basically an opportunist exploiting the “also show the other side” bias of liberal media like the Spiegel and I would not be overly surprised if his next move is to support the far-right (the AfD is very open to opportunists with migration history or LG(BT), like Alice Weidel).

Yeah, those gigabyte sized access logs is something we have seen for weeks.

Anubis has also gotten largely ineffective, and yesterday I had some time to sample some of the access log IPs and it is clear that this is a coordinated scraping attack from the Huawei ASN that additionally employs residential proxies mostly in Pakistan, Vietnam and Brazil.

I don’t really have a good idea how to deal with it, but it is a complete PITA.

Ist halt ne wirklich dumme Verkürzung der Tatsachen, und wenn man sich so die Mehrheit der Kommentare in deutschsprachigen Onlinezeitungen anschaut dann könnte man auch denken die AfD hat 90% Zustimmung.

Ich vermute mal der mastodon.world Moderator hatte keine Ahnung wer dieser Typ ist (ich hatte auch noch nie von dem gehöhrt), aber hat dauernd (vermutlich nicht ganz unbegründete) Beschwerden wegen Islamophobie bekommen.

Edit: ups, sorry, I mistook this for a German speaking com.

It’s just a really stupid oversimplification of the facts, and if you look at the majority of the comments in German-language online newspapers, you might even think the AfD has a 90% approval rating.

I’m guessing the mastodon.world moderator had no idea who this guy is (I never heard of him either), but kept receiving complaints (presumably not entirely unfounded) about Islamophobia.

If I remember correctly, Apple makes it really hard to bridge iMessage and they implemented some sort of hardware check and even disallowed older versions of MacOS or so. As usual, they really like to lock people into their ecosystem.

P.S.: something is wrong with that link you shared.

Only desperate people, right-wing gun nuts and neo-nazis join the army voluntarily, so that sounds about right.

It is afaik a Piefed fork that mainly removes some controversial features from it.

Money wise this seems similar to living in a retirement home.

I am not trying to sully anyone. I am just telling people to look it up themselves and make their own judgement 🤷 It’s all based on what you wrote yourself, and apparently you have zero self-reflection on why people might ban you for what you wrote.

For someone who apparently thinks of themselves as rational and scientific, you exhibit a real lack of curiosity to differentiate between correlation and causation as well as a naive notion to take people’s self-serving justifications at face value (if they fit to your preconceived notion of them). I don’t think this discussion will make much sense to continue, if that is the level you are arguing at.

Apparently you have yourself internalized islamophobia to such an extend that sweeping claims like that about a diverse group of people and their religion does not raise any red flags for you 🤦

This is a complete misrepresentation of what happened. Did you even read the messages they were banned for?

Except that it wasn’t me who banned them. I am just looking at the modlog and their own explanation of what happened.

Everyone is the hero in their own story, and sadly Islamophobia is widely spread with people that call themselves “liberals”.

The first - and definitely worst - experience I’ve had was 2 years ago when I got banned from !europe@feddit.org for “racism and gaslighting” on the basis of, well, pretty much nothing except the moderator’s paranoia.

It wasn’t me, but looking at your moderation log and the messages in question, I would have called it “islamophobia and downplaying neo-nazi crimes” and banned you just the same. Others are welcome to have a look at those messages and judge for themselves 🤷

Seems not too bad. It seems to boot with mainline Linux (or at least Ubuntu ISOs) and the vendor releases patches for recent kernel versions, which is much better than most ARM SoCs.

Cool, let us know how it goes and maybe also see if the power consumption has improved with more recent kernel versions.
