  1. @warum

    Der erste Satz ist meiner Meinung nach eine schwache Ausrede, die selbstgewählte erlernte Hilflosigkeit nicht ablegen zu müssen.

    Natürlich kann man sich durch Konsumverhalten von den grossen Konzernen unabhängig machen. Nicht von allen gleichzeitig und nicht gleich für die gesamte Gesellschaft. Aber für sich selber lässt sich da sehr viel schaffen.

    z.B. #Fediverse #Solarpunk #SoLaWi @hostsharing #IndyWeb etc.

    Deshalb ist auch der zweite Teil Ausdruck jener erlernten Hilflosigkeit.

  5. Sadly, the time has come to retire the security.txt from my website. It is only used by l33t haxxors who think they can use ai tools to find amazing bugs in my site, but only if i have a bug bounty program. Yet another net positive is turned into a net negative thanks to LLM's.

  14. Hey #Forkiverse! First things first, an #introduction is in order (post your own so people can get to know you):
    hachyderm.io/@suzannealdrich/1

    Next, follow some active hashtags that you’re interested in, and maybe some you didn’t know you’d be:
    #Monsterdon
    #ThreeGoodThings
    #Mosstodon
    #Caturday
    #FensterFreitag
    I find it easier to read CamelCase hashtags, and people using screen readers appreciate hashtags to be at the end of your posts (not embedded).

    Make your images accessible by adding alt text, which is also a secret cheat code for stuffing a bunch of text into a post. But you should always use that for more descriptive text. I take screenshots of text and use alt text for transcriptions. There’s bots you can follow to give you reminders or even produce the alt text if you forget (@altbot). Some clients have reminders, too.

    AI slop is not appreciated here. Be mindful of why and when you are employing LLM technologies. General machine learning is more well-tolerated.

    There’s no algorithms to push content to the eyeballs here so you’ll need to follow and share by boosting the good stuff. That’s why you need to use hashtags, but also remember there’s no algorithms to game so make it readable and relevant to your readership.

    Some oddities might stand out. Quote posting is quite new. You’ll see that not all replies to a thread get federated (spread), for various reasons. Search can be challenging. It all has to do with the nature of a truly decentralized protocol and communities. We’re still working on ironing out what works, and getting the developers to work on the right priorities.

    Speaking of which, you *can* change your instance (community), but you *can’t* take your posts with you. Principles of the open #IndyWeb still apply here: if you truly want to *own* your content, you need to self-host. You can get your Ghost or Wordpress website to post to the #Fediverse, and there are ways to do it with Hugo and other static site generators as well. See @blog for an example.

    Welcome! 🤗

  19. Looks like my #SelfHosted #FreeBSD web server VPS probably just got hit by AI scrapers that pretty much shut the whole server down. Couldn't even log in via the console within a reasonable time. Not the first time this happened, either.

    Looks like I finally need to do something about this, and I found this GitHub repo that claims to offer some configuration suggestions and robots.txt that at least would deal with the crawlers that respect robots.txt: github.com/ai-robots-txt

    Does anyone have additional suggestions/pf configurations that would help with getting DDOS'd by presumed AI crawlers?

    Oh, and I love that most search engines seem to barf up pages that describe how one would work around AI scraper limitations that people put on their websites to stand a fighting chance. A hearty "screw you" to people who implement this type of "workaround" to make sure that the #IndyWeb has an even harder time to hang around.

  34. A very interesting article about Digital Gardens, what they are and their history. I really like the idea of “public learning” by, simply put, publishing your notes online. It's a kind of public #PKM that may or may not lead to “cultivated performance” in the form of blog posts, papers, books, etc.

    The whole idea sits somewhere between PKM and the #IndyWeb.
