i built a little crate for tower-based rust web servers the other day, if anyone’s interested. it’s called tower-no-ai, and it adds a layer to your server which can redirect all “AI” scraping bots to a URL of your choice (such as a 10gb file that hetzner uses for speed testing - see below). here’s how you can use it:

it also provides a function to serve a robots.txt file which will disallow all of these same bots from scraping your site (but obviously, it’s up to these bots to respect your robots.txt, which is why the redirect layer is more recommended). because it’s built for tower, it should work with all crates which support tower (such as axum, warp, tonic, etc.). there’s also an option to add a pseudo-random query parameter to the end of each redirect respond so that these bots (probably) won’t automatically cache the response of the url you redirect them to and instead just re-fetch it every time (to maximize time/resource wasting of these shitty bots).

you can view (and star, if you would so like :)) the repo here:

"girl dinner" "boy kibble" can y'all just eat a meal gender neutrally

[goslinggf]

gender neutrients

[analog-delight]

i think you should have to come out as cis or straight. stop assuming it's the default and everything else is a deviation.

[analog-delight]

you can reblog this btw. make cis people feel uncomfortable about assuming they are "normal" and we are "other". make straight people feel uncomfortable assuming they are "regular" and we are "deviant".

Not to forget:

Most people aren't using this term in a hostile way, but it's still important to consider the implications of our language.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The thing about being trans is that once you come to terms with it it’s really just whatever but The Cis People insist upon being weird about it

[03josten]

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

[03josten]

oh my god i'm so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

[03josten]

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

[liirker-at-thresholds]

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

[liirker-at-thresholds]

The church of scientology is on tumblr and they are sending me anon asks telling me that they can't even commit to reporting a post

we need legislation banning games >100GB

[xenasaur]

OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT BETTER THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A 150GB GAME!!!

[xenasaur]

upon reviewing the notes I'm changing my position. games must be <50GB. no more mandatory 8k uncompressed textures!!! I don't believe in 8k I think it's fake

[xenasaur]

to be clear games really ought to be around 20 gigs or less. but I think in the spirit of generosity and mercy we won't criminally prosecute the developers until the file sizes breaks 50

[creamypancakebatter]

Helldivers 2 heard you and went from 156 to 23

[xenasaur]

wait is that real

just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost

[somespicycheese]

it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!

So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!

As is tradition in tumblr culture the locals unearth the corpse of a long deceased figure and drag it across the streets merrily, laughing at what is preserved of the person’s words. This custom, seen as morbid in other cultures, is instead done gleefully and with an unmatched enthusiasm

Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima If you can GUARANTEE that nothing even APPROACHING those could EVER happen under ANY circumstances Then I will fold to Nuclear Power

[official-kircheis]

Three Mile Island

NO ONE DIED

Fukushima

NO ONE DIED

Chernobyl

essentially a human-made accident through gross mismanagement and neglect, that physically can't happen with other reactor types (in part because they all have containment buildings now). so yes we can guarantee that nothing even approaching chernobyl will ever happen with modern reactors.

even so chernobyl still killed fewer people than the German Atomausstieg has through increased air pollution because of additional coal being burnt

welcome to team uranium!

[hematite2]

Love people using 3 mile island as an example. 3 mile island is an example of where things WORKED, that the failsafes kicked in so only a miniscule amount of radiation was released, which not only didnt kill anyone, but no one was injured, no adverse health effects were caused, and there was no damage to the surrounding environment. Despite the incident, the other reactor continued to run until 2019!

And again: the point isn't "do you prefer renewables or nuclear". The point is "everyone fighting againsy nuclear power has further entrenched coal and oil power and caused a LOT more damage to the environment"

[theinternetginger-deactivated20]

Even if Three Mile Island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl were all immense disasters in terms of destruction and cost of life (they weren't), localized disasters vs destroying the whole planet seems like a reasonable trade until renewables are ready to power everything.

I'm safer with a nuclear plant in my town than coal, anyway.

In an incredible reversal, Builder.AI just declared bankruptcy after admitting that they were faking their AI tool with 700 humans

[kungfunurse]

Holy smokes it’s true

Builder.ai collapses after revelation that its "AI" was hundreds of engineers

Builder.ai has collapsed under the weight of several deceptions, ending the rise of a British startup once heralded as a pioneer in democrat
