I don't cope with popped blisters at all (they make me cry) because I can feel that part of my skin too much and it's completely overwhelming for me.

The last 24 hours has taught me that I also can't deal with sutures for the same reason. The feeling of it pulling all the time is so overwhelming I want to crawl out of my skin. The fact that it's in my junk is driving me to distraction.

I'm a masochist, I've engaged in needle and sharps play. I've had my eyelids and my lips sewn shut, I've had needles pierced through my junk before—but it hasn't been like this (context matters!).

I hate this. I just want to go back to bed and try to sleep for the next few days so I can ignore it.

I simultaneously miss running games and don't think my social battery has enough juice to round up players right now.

Anyway, I thought I'd just shout into the void about it.

First, as a content creator you should above all own your intellectual property!

Second, you should not be dependent on a third party and their platform to get paid for attracting visitors to your content.

Third, your content should be published on your own website and shared elsewhere — to direct visitors to your site, where your rules apply.

Complaining about being willingly owned by a greedy company is pointless. 😉

Quick Lunchtime Hack: Reducing AI Bots

So yeah, one of my little pet servers (instead of like an hugely well resourced work box) decided to unleash the OOM-killer and whack my long running tmux connection just before I went and made some lunch, which was rude.

Doing a bit of digging it seems like a bunch of AI crawlers was responsible, and being as I was hosting a bunch of little domains and sites for people on this machine I wanted to put something in place to try and reduce the quantity of traffic from these sources

I poked around and found a nice list of known scummy user agents over on the ai.robots.txt project, so I downloaded a copy, then whipped up a quick little something to turn its robots.txt file into a little snippet of Apache config (because I’m not hiding said websites behind haproxy or Caddy or anything, see above, little pet server)

#!/usr/bin/bash

input_file="$1"

if [[ ! -f "$input_file" ]]; then
        echo "No input_file '$input_file'"
        exit 1
fi

ua_regexp=$( grep "^User-agent:" "$input_file" | cut -d: -f 2 | tr -d ' ' | tr -c -d 'a-zA-Z0-9/\._\-\n' | tr '\n' '|' | sed -e 's/|$//' )

if [[ -n "$ua_regexp" ]]; then
        cat <<EOF
  BrowserMatchNoCase ".*(${ua_regexp}).*" is_an_ai

  <LocationMatch ".*">
    <RequireAll>
      Require all granted
      Require not env is_an_ai
    </RequireAll>
  </LocationMatch>
EOF

fi

Then I can just IncludeOptional the file I generate from that into my vhosting macro and its a one liner that blocks at least quite a lot of AI scrapers.

Nice :) Now just to see if it helps reduce the OOMing or if something else is contributing.
