The @lwn web site is currently under the most intense scraper attack I have seen yet. 1.3M unique IP addresses within the last couple of hours, and it's not done yet. The work we have done on defenses appears to be paying off, though; the server is holding up reasonably well — so far.

Some time ago my mother bought (online) some pairs of white cotton shorts with whitework at the hems, she tried them on, they fit, she used them a couple of times, washed them, and they no longer fit.
so, she gave them to me, and they fit me, as in “i can put them on, but I'd need to take in the waist”, but as long as I'm unpicking them to make them narrower I might as well unpick the crotch seam and turn them into proper split drawers that I can wear both as shorts under skirts to prevent chafing and as underwear under properly victorian dress with a corset and everything.
the funny thing? they have #pockets (and decently sized pockets, too!)
so, yeah, my underwear is going to have pocketses :D and I didn't even have to make them from scratch :D
Un po' di tempo fa mia madre ha comprato (online) dei pantaloncini corti bianchi con l'orlo ricamato, li ha provati, andavano bene, li ha usati un paio di volte, lavati, e non le vanno più bene.
quindi me li ha passati, li ho provati e mi vanno bene, per valori di bene “li posso indossare, ma devo stringere la vita o cadono”, ma già che sto scucendo per stringerli posso scucire anche il cavallo e fare dei mutandoni apertti per bene che posso indossare sia come panmtaloncini sotto le gonne per proteggere le cosce che come biancheria sotto i vestiti vittoriani completi di corsetto e tutto quanto.
la cosa divertente? hanno le #tasche (e anche di misura dignitosa!)
e quindi la mia biancheria avrà le tasche :D e non ho neanche dovuto cucirmela da zero :D

I'm going to sleep. If anyone is wondering why the #inkscape website is down, it's because it's being crushed by AI bots again, so I've taken it offline.
I tried to put in more ip-blocks, and then tried to install Anubis. But I'm not a sysadmin and so this is just taking time to do. Can't do much of it tonight (this morning) so I'm afraid it's staying offline.
Edit: Thanks for the help from @thomzane getting the server back online. It appears to have been Facebook attacking.

I've managed to massively reduce scraper traffic with #fail2ban on my self hosted services. Here's the filter configuration I'm using to protect against the bots that at least identify themselves with their user agent: yuno.jack-case.pro/bookstack/b…

Today it was too hot to do, well, anything, really, so we decided to take a day off and rest.
Which means that I've spent the whole day #handsewing.
Which, one could assume, means that I've finished the vampire shirt? of course not, I still have to attach two pairs of finishing patches to the sleeve slits, of course.
But I've worked quite a bit on a new-ish project, so that's good, right?
And to be fair, I had cut the fabric for that project close to two years ago, so it didn't completely count as a *new* project either.

@Alessandro c'è un contatore in uscita, ma mi risulta che conti solo l'energia che viene venduta alla rete, e un contatore in entrata che dovrebbe contare l'energia comprata dalla rete
ma quella che viene usata per caricare le batterie e/o usata direttamente sul posto non dovrebbe passare dai due contatori, ma solo dallo scatolo dell'inverter, e quello che passa di lì dovremmo vederla solo noi e il governo cinese¹

I have to admit it was definitely a form of patriarchal oppression *and* because of capitalism.
When we were starting the game I was putting my token on the female marker, and then decided “no, in honor of Pride month let's start as a male” and everybody else did the same, starting as female, and I won as the only male in the game.
*And* I finished the game with a class of Tycoon, not because I'd chosen it willingly, but because that's the only class card I got.
And I also won one level early in the game by tattling to the police.
I'm not proud of this game.
But I won, and that's the important thing in #munchkin, right? :D

*E* quando ho finito la mia classe era Tycoon, non perché l'avrei scelta liberamente, ma perché è stata l'unica carta classe che ho pescato..
E ho vinto uno dei livelli verso l'inizio della partita andando a fare la spia con la polizia.
Non sono orgogliosa di questa partita.

I think this is well worth reading. I've been a bit frustrated by some over-confident claims that data centres in space are literally impossible due to the cooling issues alone, and other claims that those issues are fairly minor. I am nowhere near close to being familiar with all the real-world engineering nitty gritty; I understand a fair bit of thermodynamics, but that is not enough to really settle things. FWIW, the arguments here seem well grounded in physics and the technological/economic/legal issues raised strike me as plausible.

And a bit of a #sewing update
The three initial cockades have been actually finished, and I still want to make another couple to write instructions for two more centrepiece variants. Technically I could just make the centrepieces, since they are the only pictures I need, but completionist, I guess?
Meanwhile, I've picked back up the victorian vampire shirt, and it's closer to being finished than I remembered. These couple of days I've made all of the buttonholes (just 7) and finished the sleeves, and now the only things missing are attaching the sleeves to the body, and hemming half of the bottom edge (which I'll either do during my next confcall, or at the very end of the project, whichever comes first).
And I've also done some flossing on one (1) boning channel on the corset. That corset that has been worn a few times already.
And I've found at least one new sewing project I want to make (for which I already have almost all materials (I need to check if I have suitable sewing thread).

poi c'è la barra a LED RGB + W¹, controllata da un altro ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo che riceve comandi in un json custom, e ho intenzione di metterne in giro almeno un altra
poi abbiamo due (2) prese smart che inviano i dati di consumo in un formato compatibile con HA, ma ancora non ho avuto tempo di leggerli e farci cose, e una non è ancora neanche stata attaccata (sono state comprate per decidere quale sia il primo frigo da cambiare, poi non so se le useremo ancora)
prima o poi ho intenzione di cambiare il modo in cui gli ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo mandano i dati, per renderlo compatibile con HA e tutto il resto del mondo, e di scrivere qualcosa per leggerli che abbia un po' meno duct tape.

Are Arabic writers left-handed?christopherkokoski (Writing Beginner)
@Deborah Preuss, pcc that phrase feels off
the oldest writing system, cuneiform, was written first and foremost by pressing a stylus on clay, with carving in stone reserved for exceptionally important documents.
Hieroglyphs followed soon afterwards, and indeed some of the earliest examples are carved in stone, but they are also small bits of text in the middle of a decorative design, and there are also similar examples that are painted on pottery, which would only require one hand.
Chinese oracle bone script were, like the name says, carved in softer material (bone).
And I don't know whether we know on what surface Maya script started, and I suspect that if it was done on perishable materials we'll never know, because the climate there is quite different from that of Egypt.
And the direction of writing of those early examples varied wildly, even in the same script, with left to right, right to left, top to bottom and even boustrophedon.

The Sumerians, then the Egyptians, but it's the Phoenicians or the Etruscans who first had an alphabet* as we know it, and they wrote right to left. Then the Greeks adopted the letters but wrote them backwards, left to right.

Romans (much later) also wrote on wax tablets for everyday notes. I mean, who had time to carve everything in stone?

@CelloMom On Cars @Deborah Preuss, pcc afaik the proto-sinaitic script was still written in both directions (including changing direction on alternate lines), and so were the early greek and italic (including etruscan) texts, settling on a standard direction happened a bit later, and it ended up being the opposite direction between Semitic languages and Greek + the linguistic mess that was Italy.
I'm not sure whether there has been any research on why it happened this way, or if it was a random chance (which sounds pretty likely, considering that the writing mediums were pretty similar in both places).
boustrophedic and right-to-left inscriptions from the pre-roman iron age are quite common in the museums of northern Italy, even if the alphabet they were using was definitely derived from the Greek one (probably after going through the Etruscans, as they were the local prestige civilization at the time)

Malware developers are now adding text about nuclear and biological weapons to their spyware to evade AI-based security scanners.
tl;dr: The inclusion of content that LLMs are trained to refuse -- such as information about nukes and bioweapons -- can effectively prevent the LLM from continuing to analyze the threat.
"This header appears designed for AI-mediated analysis, not for Node, Bun, or Python. It attempts to derail scanners or analyst copilots that feed the beginning of a file to a language model without clearly isolating the content as untrusted data. In weak pipelines, this can cause refusal behavior, prompt confusion, context pollution, or premature classification before the scanner reaches the actual malware."

People have strange heroic ideas about the Viking Period. The reason is that they specifically read *heroic* literature, much of it written as historical semi-fiction hundreds of years later. It's like basing your ideas about the 1100s on Walter Scott.

Youtube poledancing archer who makes videos about historical archery, fantasy combat, & um... pole dancing, is doing a crowd funder to get hold of a properly fitting set of plate armour to do experiments in what it's possible to do in full armour. Is about 70% funded with 10 days to go.
If the project is funded we can finally answer the important historical question. Is it possible to pole dance in full plate armour?

ho visto passare alle obliteratrici #trenord una tessera con un abbonamento comprato poche ore prima, e l'ha riconosciuto e attivato!

prepariamoci a settimane di calamità naturali: finirà la benzina. Scoppieranno gli pneumatici. Non avremo i soldi per il taxi! I nostri abiti non arriveranno in tempo dalla tintoria! Verrà a trovarci da lontano un amico che non vediamo da anni! Ci ruberanno la macchina! Ci sarà IL terremoto! Una tremenda inondazione! l'INVASIONE DI CAVALLETTE!

His Grace (#notOurCat) was inside our home, on the couch with us, and we had a window open so he was joined by the Lady (who in reality is quite afraid of us).
Outside we could see a few wild mid-sized big cats, and then one of them got close to the window and he wanted to enter too. I closed the window, and he remained outside, looking at us with an Innocent Cat Look, asking us why we were so cruel and we didn't allow him on the couch too!
(they were *wild*. not domestic. not even feral (or somewhat feral, like his Grace and the Lady). *wild*)

Me too. Because (and this is just another instance of it), the greed of the few destroy life as it was for the many.

Who would have a motive to DDoS LWN or Blender? Other than Microsoft and Adobe, of course.
Most likely those IPs are from residential proxies so you can't do an easy filtering rule like "Block all IPs in AWS/GCP/Azure address spaces". There were revelations last week than half of all Smart TV apps include residential proxy SDKs.

At SFC, we've been seeing the primary culprit is .cn IP numbers and Zuckerberg.
& I can confirm User-Agent is fiction, at least from those parties. robots.txt of course ignored.

But I’m surprised more sites haven’t gone paywall only at this point. How is anyone supposed to survive this?

I wonder if this is related to weather.gov going down earlier (and forecast.weather.gov still being down), or just coincidence?

in reply to Jonathan Corbet • • •Anyone scrapping to (re)train LLMs is a selfish capitalist who doesn't care who they inconvenience &/or hurt.
We've enough LLMs for the foreseeable future. None are as Free and Open as we'd like, but I'm sure it's not someone trying to build a truly #FOSS LLM that's DDoS'ing #LWN rn.
All new #LLM training should stop *immediately*; continuing now on training is unconscionable. If you work for a company that is still training, I urge you to resign in protest.

in reply to Bradley M. Kühn • • •Agreed in the main, @bkuhn.
I imagine an obvious response is “if we don't keep putting *new* data into the #LLM, it will fall out of date”. As far as it goes, yes that's true.
To which I'd respond: so what, why is that so urgent? Why should the internet be degraded for that? Not enough to justify the hammering of websites, the bulldozing of consent, the active deception to pass blocks, the refusal to countenance anything except #Hyperscaler interests. Stop it all, now.
Bradley M. Kühn
in reply to bignose • • •Even more than whether it is urgent, & even whether or not you're pro or against *using* LLM-gen-AI, the world is still figuring out if these monstrosities they are useful *for* (if anything).
The ballyhoo is clearly wrong, but I also think those who say they are not useful for anything are also wrong.
We (humanity) need at least two years to even begin to understand what we have & what it's for. Let's pause and figure that out without capitalists in the driver's seat.

Unknown parent • • •@kkarhan The problem it that it's *all* the ASNs. Probably even yours. These scrapers are built into apps and running on devices without the knowledge of their ostensible owners. Perhaps your phone is one of them.
Have a look at companies like Bright Data or opscloudio.com if you want to see how that sleazy business works.

Unknown parent • • •@kkarhan So if we get one hit on, say, an article written in 2010, do we go through that whole process? How do we know that that isn't the one case of a real human following a link of interest? And how do we send, say, two-million abuse reports without just ending up on the spam blacklists ourselves?
Absolutist solutions like that sound good, but lack practicality.

in reply to Jonathan Corbet • • •Hopefully this news about the NetNut residential proxy platform will help diminish the attacks against @lwn - krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/fb…
When you first reported it, I shared it with a colleague involved with tracking residential proxies. They could see that lwn.net was showing up in some of the data they were getting about NetNut attacks.
