RE: https://techhub.social/@michae1k/116640280449884942
StyloBot can do this by automation type / across bot families / for bots not humans / different limits by country etc...
Just sayin'
added *yesterday* https://github.com/scottgal/stylobot/blob/main/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-25-rate-limit-core-design.md -
As someone was asking how StyloBot works behind tunnels / reverse proxies here's an article on it (will be in the release series once cleaned up).
TL:DR; the CURRENT www.stylobot.net site is running in limited mode; on an old laptop next to me through a Cloudflare tunnel. *Deliberately* after a server failed. StyloBot still works at the behavioural/WAF layer. What it loses behind a tunnel is the deeper fingerprint surface.
It *still works* just less sensitive as it can't see SSL / TLS / raw TCP/IP data behind the tunnel / proxy. This article has all of those details, how you can add headers in CF etc to get the data back.
https://github.com/scottgal/stylobot/blob/main/docs/articles/tunnel-trade-off.md
StyloBot has the Brad Abrams 'pit of success' idea as it's core concept. It works WELL by default but there's tuning you can add to make if hum...

StyloBot free day as I ran myself ragged trying to get it going in my free time (very little of which I HAD finishing up 2x contracts!).
Biggest win is dropping the ONNX dependency.
Earlier versions used ONNX embeddings as a shortcut: turn a client signature into a vector and compare it.
It worked, but it was never quite the right abstraction. Embeddings are built for language. StyloBot’s inputs are behavioural structures.
The new version defines that behavioural vector space directly. Requests, sessions, browsers, bots, scrapers, and odd clients are placed into a real StyloBot-native space. The system ships with archetype centroids, then adapts those centroids to the actual traffic it sees.
So instead of asking a model what a client 'means', StyloBot learns what your traffic looks like.
StyloBot is REALLY a conceptually unfolded ML model so it sort of trains itself on real traffic around centroids and updates as it goes. It's ODD.
Now out in Release Candidate https://github.com/scottgal/stylobot/releases
Plan is still for full release June 1st but the FOSS client MAY reach RTM quality before that (lots of manual testing!)

Think for some light refreshment this weekend I'll see about getting my Markdown viewer lucidView on the App Stores https://github.com/scottgal/lucidview DO need to look again at the mermaid stuff but it works so good practice for future stuff!

Of all the things I've made I still think consoleimage is the coolest, such asimple use-case. Give it any image / video and it'll render it in the terminal. SIMPLES! https://github.com/scottgal/mostlylucid.consoleimage

Ok BOTH contracts ending at the end of May.
Bit unexpected for one of them an *I* ended the other so...
I'll be avaialble from the End of May to build systems!

I always learn from David Brooks and Scott Galloway. At least double the insights when the two mix their ideas, such as this conversation on Prof G Conversations:

Random little tool today. Was having issues with Skia.Svg in my lucidVIEW app so built a little totally .net one. This is just an AoT CLI tool https://github.com/scottgal/lucidview/releases/tag/svg2png-v0.2.0 which will convert svg to png easily.
Not 100% (no animation etc) but roughtly equivalent to most browsers.

SUCH a small thing https://github.com/scottgal/lucidRESUME/tree/master/src/Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting an Avalonia UX testing suite (ala playwright) But I USE IT IN EVERY DESKTOP app; now has the abiluty to snip regions, gesture and dragging support etc...
Like Playwright this lets you use your Avalonia UI cross platform and take screenshots (even use your code llm to loop ux implovement with full token reducing visual tree. consoleimage rendering).
#avalonia #testing #playwright #dotnet
Oh and lucidVIEW was made using it, new little ruler feature (annoyingly Markdown doesn;t have a set width like PDF)https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting

Finally got proper Mac support for lucidVIEW my .NET AoT Markdown Viewer.
Little 60Mb app which is:
Fully .NET native makrdown document rendering through Avalonia on Mac, Windows and Linux (no WebView so doesn't slurp 300Mb of your RAM ).
Optimized for quick browsing super fast startup, async Mermaid diagram rendering
Fully native .NET Mermaid diagram rendering ...etc, also has a few extensions through mostlylucid.naid my fork of naiad the C# Mermaid renderer
Cross platform PDF output / printing of Markdown docs
etc...
All the niceties, really just the markdown downcument reader *I* wanted so it's fast, low footprint and just works...
As usual Free & Open Source

Built a small side-piece (and nuget package) for lucidRESUME:
Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting
Basically: Playwright for Avalonia.
Script real UI flows
Take screenshots
Drive interactions
Test actual running apps (not fake headless abstractions)
Avalonia UI testing is still pretty rough (headless or Appium pain), so this just says:
"run the app, poke it like a user would, assert what happens"
I also used it to get all the readme images for lucidRESUME; and combined with ConsoleImage an LLM can 'see' your ux and therefore tune it! https://github.com/scottgal/lucidRESUME?tab=readme-ov-file

First alpha of lucidRESUME live (lunchtime FTW!) https://github.com/scottgal/lucidRESUME/releases
Your job search. Your data. Your machine.
lucidRESUME is a free, open-source desktop app that builds a structured, evidence-based model of your skills from your actual work - then uses it to:
Tailor resumes to specific job descriptions
Match you to relevant roles with per-skill similarity scoring
Show what you're missing (and what you're not)
Plan your next move based on your actual skill graph
Everything runs locally on your machine. No accounts. No data leaving your device unless you choose to.Linux, Mac, Windows x64 & ARM.
Free and open source, take it, use it, whatever just don't complain when it breaks 😊 -
lucidVIEW my native Avalonia / C#) Markdown Viewer reaches v1. Extends @simoncropp's excellent Naiad Mermaid nuget package with some routing experiments I wanted to play with.
Also adds subgraph support, skinning and other stuff (JUST vibe coded though so not releasing separately 🤓)
Now they're all rendered as native Avalonia vectors so I can do things like showing Data Flow through a Mermaid flowchart (also loads about 90x faster than rendering pngs 😜). Oh and you can save mermaid to a png / svg from the viewer too.
THEORETICALLY X-Plat but I can't test it

Man I fucking LOVE building stuff. My free / OSS bot & scraper protection system is now live
https://www.stylobot.net . It's umm...VERY different from almost anything else. Oh and ridiculously more powerful than almost anything else too by taking a behavioural approach rather than simple string matching. It builds a comprehensive ledger of each user (no PII stored!) and their behaviour across sessions, requests, and even within a single request-response operation.
Uses heuristics & deterministic analysis (with optional LLM escalation for novel detections).
Free, ASP.NET Middleware, Docker Image & executable. Public Domain (commercial addons coming later)

CW: US Pol - Resist and unsubscribe to fight ICE
Scott Galloway asking US citizens to resist and unsubscribe:
"We must recognize that the president is unfazed by citizen outrage, the courts, or the media. He responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers. In sum, the shortest path to change without hurting consumers is an economic strike targeted at the companies driving the markets and enabling our president."
(I didn't realize FedEx and UPS were enabling ICE)
