They say they want to link to something they know won’t go away.

EDIT: Adding this because what you said irks me. There used to be only one banner page on the top, but that doesn’t really matter.

The ‘you dressed that way so you asked for it’ argument really doesn’t fly.

It’s my content, and if I choose to wrap it in advertising, I should be allowed to. And if Wikipedia doesn’t like that, they can always choose to not link to the content. But to just forcibly take what you want because you feel entitled to it… Why would that ever be OK?

I just sent a DMCA takedown last week to remove my site. They’ve claimed to follow meta tags and robots.txt since 1998, but no, they had over 1,000,000 of my pages going back that far. They even had the robots.txt configured for them archived from 1998.

I’m tired of people linking to archived versions of things that I worked hard to create. Sites like Wikipedia were archiving urls and then linking to the archive, effectively removing branding and blocking user engagement.

Not to mention that I’m losing advertising revenue if someone views the site in an archive. I have fewer problems with archiving if the original site is gone, but to mirror and republish active content with no supported way to prevent it short of legal action is ridiculous. Not to mention that I lose control over what’s done with that content – are they going to let Google train AI on it with their new partnership?

I’m not a fan. They could easily allow people to block archiving, but they choose not to. They offer a way to circumvent artist or owner control, and I’m surprised that they still exist.

So… That’s what I think is wrong with them.

From a security perspective it’s terrible that they were breached. But it is kind of ironic – maybe they can think of it as an archive of their passwords or something.

I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!

I do have some feature requests – is GitHub the best place to submit those?

I’m a big fan of netdata; it’s part of my standard deployment. I put in some custom configs depending on what services are running on what servers. If there’s an issue it sends me an email and posts into a slack channel.

Next step is an influxdb backend to keep more history.

I also use monit to restart certain services in certain situations.

Exactly!

Same here. The most I get out of might be a pointer to a module that could be a better approach, but the code I get from ChatGPT is usually worthless.

I treat it as my water cooler talk, and maybe I’ll come away with a few new ideas.

I wish it was database agnostic. And I’m slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.

It does look awesome, and I’ll revisit it to see where things are in six months.

I have a problem with Amazon Drive going away for non-photos on December 31st.

For a while, they had unlimited storage and you could use a Linux API to access it – I stored 8TB of data.

Then they set a quota, but for those over quota it was read-only. Oh, and Linux access no longer works.

Now they’ve set a deadline to have everything off by December 31st, but the Windows app still doesn’t work (constantly crashing) and I see no way to get my files.
