overview for Fijxu

I stopped believing in DMCA/DRM/Copyright legality when big tech can use pirated content for their AI training and not pay a cent for it because the judge said "Is fair use" or whatever

Does Google uses Google Chrome users to discover new unindexed pages? (programming.dev)

This is not a long post, but I wanted to post this somewhere. This may be useful if someone is doing an article about Google or something like that.

While I was changing some things in my server configuration, some user accessed a public folder on my site, I was looking at the access logs of it at the time, everything completely normal up to that point until 10 SECONDS AFTER the user request, a request coming from a Google IP address with Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html user-agent hits the same public folder. Then I noticed that the user-agent of the user that accessed that folder was Chrome/131.0.0.0.

I have a subdomain and there is some folders of that subdomain that are actually indexed on the Google search engine, but that specific public folder doesn't appear to be indexed at all and it doesn't show up on searches.

May be that google uses Google Chrome users to discover unindexed paths of the internet and add them to their index?

I know it doesn't sound very shocking because most people here know that Google Chrome is a privacy nightmare and it should be avoided at all times, but I never saw this type of behavior on articles about "why you should avoid Google Chrome" or similar.

I'm not against anyone scrapping the page either since it's public anyways, but the fact they discover new pages of the internet making use of Google Chrome impressed me a little.

Edit: Fixed a typo

The real history behind the Lunix operating system (programming.dev)

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the 'mp3' program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as 'telnet', which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
