@gsuberland I have one, but for datacentre PDUs to standard UK sockets.
absolute lifesaver whenever my PDU-cloverleaf and PDU-c13 get stolen too many times.
didn't really matter what country the datacentre was in at that point*
*as long as it was rated to a nominal 240v, not some kettle-unboiling half-assed 120v foolery

Dear Labour Party - you don't neutralise the threat from Reform by adopting their policies or talking points. You do it by reducing inequality. Fascism doesn't flourish if people feel they're fairly recompensed, equally treated, well-fed and well-housed and their jobs are safe. So be more Labour.

X is where you find the people who think they run the Internet.
Bluesky is where you find the people who think they ought to run the Internet.
Mastodon is where you find the people who actually do run the Internet, and kind of wish they didn't.

The latest wave of AI scrapers to hit us are running javascript... and all match
(window.innerWidth===800 && window.innerHeight===600)
I wonder how much memory and CPU they will burn before stopping...

Sweary post about AI
Shitty bots swamping my site again today. Have had to take part of it offline to cut them off. How the fuck is this legal? Copyright aside it's destructive.
Fucking fuckers.
Last boost from my lovely techy about their latest behaviour, in case it's useful to anyone else.
Edit: Last boost here, as probably easier to find with a link

@tootech okay, you can say what evils you like about AI, but at least they are pretending to need the Right Size.
pretty sure I didn't have anything to do with this current timeline (as it'd be setting prompts not resolutions)

oh god I just went on a PPE and Work equipment site to buy some work stuff, at the very end of the many drop downs there's "Women's PPE" as a complete afterthought. I clicked it. The entire contents of the section are a pink hi-viz jacket and workboots with pink laces.

Right, I'm closing the computer down before I get the urge to catch up on news. The one plus to being busy with work is that I haven't had time to be angry at [gestures at everything].
And at least a bit of spooky hatting has washed away the far too early festive stuff I had to do earlier 😁
More tomorrow no doubt (Selina is next in the hatting queue @Bikil !)
'Night all!

Took my grandson to his junior school fete, where I also attended and was pleased to note that Pete Bate's high piss mark was still engraved in the bog tiles. I was there that day and the crowd of us cheered like mad. Pete died years ago; thankfully, his legendary piss remains.

@anon_opin Automation itself isn't the problem. The problem, as always, is cunts.
