Interesting. I’d not heard of those before. Are they dateable?

Here in England, on the other side of the world, we have similar structures that have been dated back to the Bronze Age (3000 to 6000 years ago) These had a rock base, with mud/daub/wattle upper walls with thatch or turf roofs.

The similarity probably isn’t that surprising, people have needed shelter and use what’s available to make it. Even modern ruins from a few hundred years ago look pretty similar.

(One example below from Dartmoor, there’s thousands in this area)

Sharing filesystems could be useful, I can see that.

I do that with target dev platforms anyway, using things like NFS, samba and sftp, but I do see that it could work well for this.

I too do that, working from a windows vm and writing code for linux - but I push it to a linux vm for testing. Never occurred to me to use WSL and have another environment to configure and maintain for dev that’s different to the target one.

But fair play if that suits you! Each to their own, and I’m sure I do things that make no sense to others.

Thanks - I can kind of see that, as docker on windows is majorly broken. I think I’d just run it in a linux vm, as I do with most of my developing, but I can see some might not want that overhead.

I do know what it is, I just don’t know why you’d use it instead of proper linux, or a vm.

I still don’t know what WSL is for.

I bought NMS when it was released, and hated it. Ok, it’s legendary as something that was released before it was ready and that undoubtedly spoiled it for me - endless running and nothing to do, and I’m sure it’s better now.

Elite Dangerous was quite fun for a while, but I got frustrated with the flying aspect quite a bit and after several deaths I gave up. I’m old enough to remember the first Elite, which was even more unforgiving.

Freelancer sounds interesting - I started searching and landed on the Amazon page for it, which told me " You last purchased this item on 29 Apr 2005". I have no recollection of the thing, but then I have played a lot of games. Still, worth a revisit - I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Ok, but apart from that, it’s okay, right?

Seriously - what is a good space exploration/trading game that doesn’t require a huge learning curve? (I’m not a fan of flying stuff and too much trading is boring, but I do like exploring)

I don’t think they make violins small enough to signify my empathy for him.

I wonder what her political views are?

I’m not American, but CVE’s absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.

Good news. Tourism is far more important to Iceland than the few people who were still eating whalemeat, and they’re smart enough to realise how many people were turned away because of it.

subordinate to the U.S. because 'murica.

Not quite - he wants them to be subordinate to him.

In olden days, Kings would force fealty by forcing others to “kiss the ring”. That’s exactly what he tries to do - and what was behind the ridiculous display with his guest, President Zelensky.

We’ve seen him hide behind his title again and again when people challenge him “You don’t speak to the president like that!” Yet any small successes are entirely his doing. Shameful, if the man had any shame whatsoever.

“I know you are, but what about the critic?”

Of course it is.

His interfering with European politics is despised over here - promoting far-right groups in Germany, France and the UK deliberately to destabilise our countries. The man is genuinely dangerous to all democracies, not just the US.

But which toilet does it use?!

Already done, along with a bunch of other stuff including cloudflare WAF and rate limiting rules.

I am still annoyed that it took me over a day’ of my life to finally (so far) restrict these things. And several other days to offload the problem to Cloudflare pages for sites that I previous self hosted but my rural link couldn’t support.

this advice is just for “unintentional” DDoS attacks, not intentionally malicious ones.

And I don’t think these high volume AI scrapes are unintentional DDOS attacks. I consider them entirely intentional. Not deliberrately malicious, but negligent to the point of criminality. (Especially in requesting the same pages again so frequently, and all of them ignoring robots.txt)

Surprised at the level of negativity here. Having had my sites repeatedly DDOSed offline by Claudebot and others scraping the same damned thing over and over again, thousands of times a second, I welcome any measures to help.
