Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Oh I get you now, I've met email addresses like that too. Some people though you google them and a blank page with one or two sentences appears, those are the ones that frustrate me.

It would be cool to have a zombo like entity but might attract the attackers?

constant CCTV monitored by AI, posting clips of the ridiculous escapades to social media

Thanks I hate it. Mainly because you're probably right - it will be like those "border control" and "disaster" reality shows only automated. Something to look forward to!😅

seeing all the hits to wordpress URIs from bots trying to exploit known vulnerabilities

Yeah it's really yucky, it feels like an arms race with endless bots, updates, stuff breaking, but when I decided to use a CMS it just seemed way easier than Joomla or Drupal which were the other main options back then. That said, I used to see malicious visits back when it was just an html website.

Do you get many bad actors hosting in the fediverse?
