Latest version of Anubis has a JavaScript-free verification system. It isn’t as accurate, so I allow js-free visits only if the site isn’t being hammered. Which, tbf, prior to Anubis no one was getting in, JS or no JS.

Yay! I won’t edit my comment (so your comment will make sense) but I checked and they also list they/them on their github profile

I’ll say the developer is also very responsive. They’re (ambiguous ‘they’, not sure of pronouns) active in a libraries-fighting-bots slack channel I’m on. Libraries have been hit hard by the bots: we have hoards of tasty archives and we don’t have money to throw resources at the problem.

I was on my Gentoo linux laptop trying to find an open WiFi network on a sidewalk when someone came out of the nearby bank to shoo me away because she was told I was “trying to hack the bank”.

I was just trying SSH into my school account to send an email using PINE to let my parents know my train was 5 hours delayed. This would have been 2005 or so.

Y’all have some good points. What I’m hearing is “install it on a fresh hard drive, play around, then move on to something more stable.”

Well, I was thinking of moving to Linux full-time anyway now that my Windows install is obsolete. Any reason to avoid this distro? Past experience is with Ubuntu, Gentoo, and SuSE. I mostly game.

My last pup had a liquid medication, twice a day. We had them make it fish flavored. She loved that stuff, it was so easy to squirt it in her mouth with the dosing syringe.

Current pup has 2 pills twice a day. He’s mostly deaf but can still hear that bottle open. He’s sneaky and will walk away to spit out the pills. He’ll refuse pill pockets. He knows all the tricks. I just have to shove the pills down his throat, then watch him eat a treat so I know he didn’t cough a pill up into his cheek or beard. Grumpy old man dog.

My archive’s server uses Anubis and after initial configuration it’s been pain-free. Also, I’m no longer getting multiple automated emails a day about how the server’s timing out. It’s great.

We went from about 3000 unique “pinky swear I’m not a bot” visitors per (iirc) half a day to 20 such visitors. Twenty is much more in-line with expectations.

Yes, awesome. Thank you.

Make sure that the door style you choose fits with the space you have available. My fridge is kind right by pathway, so we have the dual-door style, to minimize blocking the path.

I also like using magnets on the fridge. Iirc, some stainless steel refrigerators aren’t magnet-sticky (10 pts if you can tell me what word I forgot).

My mom would always fuss that I’d drip water on the floor after a shower. After one such fussing, my dad took the time to actually give me advice on how to towel off properly, so as not to drip. (LPT: start from the top, work your way down)

Anyways, he was the more patient parent and would try and help you succeed.

Like “you sweet, summer child” except less obviously condescending?

I’m also on Sharkey. It’s just more fun that Mastodon. Also feels a touch more queer, in a wonderful way.

THE TONGUE

Lol. Yeah, sdf.org feels pretty hands-off. They have longevity going for them–I’ve had an sdf account of some sort since 2009 at the latest. The system started life as a BBS in the 80s. The name comes from the anime “Super Dimension Fortress”, which I’ve never seen.

This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you’re so chill and communicative about issues.

Fried okra good. Okra in soup makes everything snotty and gross and then my mom made me eat it anyway and I just can’t. /childhood texture trauma

I’ve nibbled on my dog’s cricket flour treats. Tasted like any other dog treat. She adored them, though.

I’ll use my arrrrchival background to find a copy

Mini rant: I went to an anime convention (ConnectiCon) and was wicked excited to see that Pirates of Dark Water had a time slot. I’d finally get to see the full run!

Then someone had the bright idea to play it in a different time slot to cover something that fell through and so it wasn’t played in the schedule time slot (due to rights issues or something?). I’m still annoyed.

I should probably just find an alternate way to watch it, it’s been over a decade since that convention.
