I installed gentoo slightly over 20 years ago and I don't remember a ui for it. I do remember compiling the Linux kernel

Tbh, Installing Gentoo today is basically the same as it was in the first screenshot anyway :D But then again, most people would object to conflating the Gentoo installation to the "Linux installation"
It's fucking embarrassing it's what it is.
That was definitely a man with a bone to pick. Good on him!
Are you harvesting and/or selling the user data you collect for this app?
This is out of scope for this comm

What the hell are you talking about, Jesse?

Ahoy m@tes, the scraping bot situation has been escalating recently, as you all may have already noticed by the recent site instability and 5xx error responses. @tenchiken@anarchist.nexus has been scrambling to block new scraping subnets as they appear, but these assholes keep jumping providers so it's been an endless loop and constant firefighting.
I finally had enough and decided to onboard a Proof-of-Work countermeasure, very much like Anubis which has been very popular on the fediverse lately. However I went with Haphash which has been especially designed around haproxy (our reverse proxy of choice) and is hopefully much more lightweight.
The new PoW shield has already been activated on both Divisions by Zero on Fediseer as well. It's not active on all URLs,. but it should be protecting those which have the most impact on our database, which is what was causing the actual issue. You should notice a quick loading screen on occasion while it's verifying you.
We've already seen a significant reduction in 5xx HTTP errors, as well as a slight reduction in traffic, so we're hoping this will make a good impact in our situation.
Please do let us know if you run into any issues, and also let us know if you feel any difference in responsiveness. The first m@ates already feel it's all snappier, but that just be placebo.
And let's hope the next scraping wave is not pwned residential botnets, or we're all screwed >_<
I'll be making an effortpost on my blog soon-ish about it, before promptly losing interest in it forever.

I remember trying sabayon at the time and being disappointed enough to return to gentoo π
