My goals for this firewall were mostly to provide better robot blocking and perhaps some more powerful DDoS protection than my Raspberry Pi 3 web server is capable of delivering. I still have to do some testing before I will know if my new firewall actually provides either of those, but at least I now have the additional ability to run multiple physical web servers on my LAN. Exploring that should be fun, and fun is a very important component of running a home web server.
Not my article. Just sharing.
403 error. Congrats, you built a broken system of false-positives.
Should we just move everything to tor and start the Internet over again?
look if i can’t browse from my fridge i don’t want to know about it
Not sure about Tor but your fridge definitely supports mesh networks whether it wants to or not.
Wait till you hear about betanet
I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.
Isn’t that the new freenet ?
No that’s alphanet
surely you mean Pipernet
All this effort to block clankers? Absolutely worth it fuck clankers.
I absolutely love the term clankers. It’s the perfect blend of dystopian cyberpunk and the very real threat of AI.
It seems goofy to me — I wish we had collectively picked a term with more oomph.
I’m struggling to come up with an alternative though.

So say we all.

Stealing a slur from Star Wars and engaging in traditional name calling to show we disapprove of uncreative slop.
We can’t even think of an original term. We can’t think of a novel way to shit on AI. We just copy what everyone else is doing to make fun of the plagiarism machine.
Why does everyone think the term came from Star Wars? I know it was used in steampunk before then, and google suggests it goes back to a 1958 article about robots. Sorry, not trying to be pedantic, just feels like a lot of people give Star Wars unjust credit for things they didn’t actually create.
I’m still trying to make ‘sloppers’ happen. Perfectly describes the lack of thought that goes into what they produce.
I like ‘sloppers’ as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.

I’m getting a 404 error, using Cloudflare DNS, who ironically has the best commercial clanker protection in the world, otherwise half the world’s internet wouldn’t use them
Cloudflare is a protection racket. They cover so many websites because it’s easier to pay the mafia.
Bot
Not a bot. Both of you can go fuck yourselves with an ENTIRE can of bear mace.
Using a VPN that you forgot is on?
Yep. Why do you ask?
Because the VPN might be the reason you’re being blocked from the page.
Sounds like something a bot would say
Aka “how to harm marginalized folks” and prevent them from accessing your content too
