It’s over

The promotional campaign of Steam Frame looks odd: I don't recognise these actors as gamers which kinda breaks the immersion... why are they doing an Apple Vision Wireless vibes?

Bungie is moving the September update to December (and merging two). Their descriptions are as corporate as it can be — refresh and symbiosis!

Well, the denial phase has passed; now the bargaining stage has begun... 😑

It's been only three weeks since the original game went viral and he had to mark his one as ORIGINAL on Steam capsule due to the number of clones...

TikTok now automatically makes you AI slop without your consent if you run your ads there. It seems that you can't disable it manually right now and "optimized ads" will run as long as any ads run. And you are not being notified properly while filling the form...

Facts

One of my servers runs a staging website where I test things before moving them anywhere. Oddly enough, it has dozens of daily visitors 🤖

Just set a few network filters on the server to see how it goes. Bots spotted it instantly and tried to ping about 250 URLs of common components of web apps that idiots leave unprotected.

I turned this new data into more rules and they will no longer be 404 and will not waste any CPU time or network capacity, they will instantly bounce on a server level. Will make a bit more automation, since global bans are not always triggered properly.

You can't even imagine how much of the modern internet traffic is bots and crawlers. I'm fairly confident there are huge botnets now waiting for their hour.
