"Two days ago" here refers to a date in 2021, which is when archive.org archived the site.Seriously, just display the actual date. Trying to be clever and showing a delta just means it will always be wrong. It gets more wrong the longer the browser tab remains open (unless you waste CPU keeping it updated).

The paraglider pilot who is using our neighbour's field for an airstrip has come astonishingly close to a house, trees and power lines. I'm not yet sure if they're very good at what they do, or dangerously inexperienced.🪂 🌩️ 🌳 🏡

No Mojeek, entering a query in Russian does not mean I'm a bot. I'm just trying to search for the lyrics of a song. A little less xenophobia, please...

Search for "hi" or any string in English, query is processed just fine.Search for "O чем Поем Гитава" and I get a 403 forbidden error.And if I correct my typo to "О чем Поет Гитара" (What does the guitar sing about?) I get an explicit error saying it doesn't support my language!That's a first. In 30 years on the web I've never come across a search engine that forbids languages. You don't need to understand it - just index it!

Apparently @Mojeek is on Mastodon. Care to comment?

@neil @decodedlegal I wonder when web design companies will start to pay attention. Most have probably never considered themselves in the software business, but so many will deploy WordPress or Drupal with a pretty theme and then provide no maintenance. Many seem to have no plan except to wait until the site gets inevitably cracked.

I don't disagree that DDOS attacks are a problem on today's Internet.I'm just not convinced that the solution is to give a large US-based companies billion-dollar incentives to create more of them.I'm not saying that a company like, say, Cloudflare encourages DDOS, but aligning shareholder value with $badthing seems like a dangerous approach.It starts to look like a protection racket, and large corporations don't have a great track record in keeping themselves honest.

What are folks using for an #Open #Source #VNC client on #Linux these days?I'm using #TigerVNC but I'm hoping there's something better. Sending control keys and pasting is difficult and clunky, compared to, say, IDRAC where I feel like I'm sitting in front of the machine.

Not really sure what to use for search now. DDG doesn't support IPv6 as I discovered last week while working on an #IPv6 only network. Neither does #Mojeek (and their language support is limited to ascii-only languages - even entering "français" it will ask "did you mean francais?" (same for umlauts) and Russian and Ukrainian aren't indexed at all).Google and Bing are the only ones I know with IPv6 support.We seem to be getting driven off the web, folks.

Just in case you've not been paying attention or aren't clear about the magnitude of the #AI #LLM bubble that's about to pop...NVIDIA market cap:2023-05-30 US$1 trillion2024-02-23 US$2 trillion2024-06-05 US$3 trillion2025-07-09 US$4 trillion2025-10-29 US$5 trillionMoney has no meaning any more.This is going to make the 2008 financial crisis look tiny in comparison, and we still haven't recovered from that.It's going to hurt.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression

I've been asked a few times in the past week to use #GitHub, and I'd like to be helpful, but I keep seeing Renée Good's face and it would seem disrespectful somehow.Happy to email a patch, but I'm done with that site.#GiveUpGitHub
