behold the "HTML bomb"

it's a defensive counterattack on AI web-scrapers that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

the bomb file *looks* like a tiny HTML page, but when scraped -- or even requested by a regular browser ...

... it unpacks into a huge-ass 10-gig HTML page ...

I need “something” inside my mothers house, actively/periodically checking the nearby devices and report them to the Google Find Network.

Currently latest report is often hours old and often sent by devices in the neighbourhood.

I’m thinking about:

- Raspberry pi with a bluetooth module

I could use some tips on how to achieve this with the little free time I have..

I've got a nerd #AskFedi question, expectations are high since we are on the Fediverse 😘

Situation: I’ve tagged mothers keys with bluetooth trackers. I hate this stuff, but she’s suffering from dementia and I also need some sleep. I'm using android trackers, e.g. the Google Find Hub. I hate this too.

Question: How can I improve the bloody “home tracking abilities” of these #%#@! trackers on Google Find network?

RIP Roger Burton, costume designer for Hackers. He kindly lent us Angelia’s biker jacket and Jonny’s gilet for EMF last year. He really wanted to be there too. The costumes were inspired by 1990s NYC Gay Pride. A man ahead of his time.
