andr01d: prove to me you're human

"Prove us you're human, wealthy, from a nice place, owner of a high end Windows PC or Android/iOS device, and willing to be spied by 45 different actors"

tomman: No.

:P

"You must be a bot. Go away"

ElKern4926: well, my back hurts when I sit in front of the computer too long 8-/

cloudflare is the worst

i stopped going on LQ because of it alone

andr01d: not new, from my experience. They at least were serving usable CAPTCHAs (not sure if JS-only or not, don't recall)

andr01d: and uh... I apologize in advance for this but... well, your nick :-P

apparently google does not work with the site: selector anymore if the browser is seamonkey

it returns an empty set of results

and duckduckgo just ignores the selector completely

google works for me

duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntax -> site:example.com

works too

haha that stupid chines bot strted using a zh-CN accept-language header

I had to block 250 /24 netblocks before to get rid of it and it was always using new IPs

now one rule to get rid of it \o/

the real chinese users/year... bad luck

3 users/year

I simply smell a bot by scrolling through access_log

silly requests

d|ver: remember that now the approach of IP blocking is pretty much useless since slop farms started weaponizing consumer hardware on residential connections

so basically you would have to block the entire Internet

terrible

meta AI uses the same neblock

google maybe a few dozens

I have 350 PI blocks in .htaccess

IP

the hits come from a different site with 5 million samples that link to my site as player

then the bots trigger a search adn do nothing else

so they retrieve the same page 100000s times a day with only 1 different search result

so my strategy is: welcome to my website, do something, I'll prove you're not human ;)

njsg: Does my nick suck because it's like a goggle phone?

njsg: Actually, my last name is Andrews, and since I was always sort of a robotic personalty, early in my engineering career some of my coworkers started calling me android 8-/ Now, of course, that nick is not available, so I started using the 01, but my nick name actually preceeds the goggle phone by more than a decade...

Maaybe I should sue

'em for nick name trademark infringement?

andr01d: it's not sucking, it's just that you were saying they now think you're a bot, and your nick is basically "android"

andr01d: re: trademark, I think you have to get in line behind some George L. of Marin County

(I mean, I think I recall something about Lucasfilm trying to sue Google because of "android" being close to "droid")

njsg: "you were saying they now think you're a bot, and your nick is basically "android"" Ah, I get it now 8-/ Yea, that is a little oblivious, isn't it...
