       @Suiseiseki I well aware of that! However, I have no interest in wasting my time using Byzantine keystroke based pseudo GUI editors like Vim or Emacs. I left those behind when I went from DOS 2.1 and Editix/Wordix to the Mac in 1987.

       @Suiseiseki So I guess you’re using Linux as your desktop. Sorry! P.S. I don’t feed trolls.Please do a little more research before dissing my choices. My contributions to OSS go back to the 1990s.EOF

       @cyberspook @Suiseiseki Not arrogant. They have been saying GNU/Linux is coming on the desktop for how many years? I’ve got three #raspberry_pi machines for data acquisition. The GUI is acceptable for system administration. However, I happen to prefer an OS that allows me to get work done.

       @cyberspook @Suiseiseki I’ve tried Kate. If you have a problem with someone liking a product that “Doesn’t Suck”, published by an independent developer (Rich Siegel) who is trying to support his family, then I’m sorry.

       @nixCraft As far as I'm concerned: :qAnything with two modes where you have to memorize keyboard shortcuts (beyond those of readline) is unusable.

       @lina As a MacPorts maintainer and a FreeBSD sysadmin, I run into two problems with rust:1) It is unwieldy to maintain rust and cargo, so both are often out of date on MacPorts.2) On FreeBSD some random library (e.g. librsvg) that depends on rust/cargo causes Poudriere to rebuild rust every time some build dependency is updated. This usually takes several hours on my build machine. For this reason, and that it adds a lot of extra packages, MacPorts still doesn't use librsvg built using rust.

       @foone That's assuming that your server has unlimited resources. I prefer to have nginx send a 444 response.

       @wolf480pl I have been fighting this kind of thing on my campus server that provides weather and soil moisture/temperature data.Any bot MUST provide two pieces of information in the agent string: (1) the name of the bot; and (2) a valid URL to provide information, in English, about how the data is to be used. Further, there is such a thing as robots.txt, which needs (1) to be configured and observed by the crawler.Unfortunately, these guys don’t follow any of the above conventions.

       @wolf480pl Large, legitimate, search bots often come from one or more, well known, ranges of IP addresses.However, the bad actors don’t tell who they are, much less tell you their IP addresses so you can block them.I’m planning to try Anubis https://anubis.techaro.lol/ soon. My server has been slammed with more than 3x the usual traffic over the last several days.

       @wolf480pl Indeed, I’ve seen instances of requests for robots.txt from “ordinary” web browsers. No way of knowing who or what is behind those.And yes, ClaudeBot, along with other ‘legit’ scrapers, identifies itself, but at one point separately requested robots.txt from each IP address -> thousands of requests.
