I didn’t know about mCaptcha. Thanks for sharing.

The only way I can think of is blacklisting everything by default, directing to a challanging proper captcha (can be selfhosted) and temporarily whitelisting proven human IPs.

When you try to “enumerate badness” and block all AI useragents and IP ranges, you’ll always leave some new ones through and you’ll never be done with adding them.

Only allow proven humans.

A captcha will inconvenience the users. If you just want to make it worse for the crawlers, let them spend compute ressources through something like https://altcha.org/ (which would still allow them to crawl your site, but make DDoSing very expensive) or AI honeypots.

Dog hardware … with dog software I guess. Barks mostly reliably, but sometimes bugs out and keeps barking for no reason.

I have a raspberry pi running from a microsd (which uses the same kind of tech as a usb stick) for over 5 years with dietpi.

But considering that you think you chewed through an nvme somehow, you may be right.

I loathe to grind all the software setup, it’s so dull, yet I have to concentrate to not fuck anything up.

Just wanted to vent.

Thank you 🫰

finish setting it up

I have all the hardware laying around collecting dust

Thats what I mean by fingeracrobatics.

In some software I have to do CTRL+LeftALT+F10 followed by entering a number. Shifting between the layers for that or moving one of the typing hands to the numpad would really slow me down.

It’s very pretty, but I shudder just thinking about the finger acrobatics for shortcuts that my work software requires to be efficient. I either have to have a macropad the size of your whole keyboard right next to it or at least all the numbers and F-keys.

Love the color scheme though!

Bonus points for thinkpad.

ooh I didn’t know that, thanks

what do you mean?

I have an epson ecotank and use it on archlinux with the epson scan software via usb. I select a dir and it puts the scan result there.

Not selfhost but I use Hibiscus https://www.willuhn.de/products/hibiscus/

borgbackup has great versioning, reduplication and compression

There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

Sorry for the link dump - I just glanced over the content and it seems like this might help you:

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

GPT4All is a nice and easy start.

I second this.

I’ve learned about it at work and used it privately.

I use Dokploy and I think it fills exatly the same role.

Why would you need a travel router?

The rpi already can be set up to hotspot it’s own wifi network.

For connecting to hotel wifi, a simple usb dongle is good enough, as discussed here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=287485

In regards to VPN-ing into the media server at home - depending on where you travel, you might not have any internet or you might use up your mobile data volume.
