Well the good thing about a "cloud" outage is that us "on prem" IT people cant do anything about it except blame Microsoft.. perhaps give people this article to read? https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion

Well, the scraper botnet with no pattern of IP addresses or useragent decided to declare war on my tiny gitbucket instance, so that's another thing I've taken offline.
I think it might be time to arrange an orderly shutdown of this mastodon instance and then just close ports to the outside world.
It was nice making things public while it lasted.
I have not tried this. noting it exists.

I was/am a Bad Seeds fan first but not a Birthday Party fan, but the older stuff has grown on me over time.

if "EasySend" fails TWICE in a row after entering all the shipping info and payment details.. with different browsers... it is not actually EasySend
Wizard Of Oz: for good
Wizard: "not my best pupil" - sums things up
OK, that's novel:
My Fuji camera won't charge on the dedicated Samsung charger I keep on my desk but will charge on a crappy USB 2.0 port on a micropc.
Odd.
I think Melbourne just had an earth tremor.
Why in the hell am I expected to install an app to view a delivery attempt photo from Auspost? I'm already logged in with a real browser session.
I gather everyone else is getting a shitload of crappy AI bot signups with a description of "Automated protocol deliverability probe".
Yeah, manual approvals here but I'm sick of all the bounce messages from fake email addresses and having to clear out hundreds of accounts from the admin interface.
So here we go and close things down even more because the entire public facing internet must be dumbed-down to sloperator specifications.

I have been playing around with this software and so far impressed, previously any open source NVR software for handling IP cameras I tried was terrible.
Fuck am I getting sick of seeing a captcha or equivalent on every single fucking web page these days.
Perhaps the solution is unauthorised scraping creates a debt repaid in teeth?
