Haha I knew what this was even before I clicked 😆

This reminds me of a toy one of my kids got given from my mum.

Apparently it was a giraffe. A giraffe without the one defining feature of a giraffe.

I’m not sure what can be done at the free tier. There is a switch to turn on AI not blocking, and it breaks federation.

You can’t whitelist domains because federation could come from and domain. Maybe you could somehow whitelist /inbox for the ActivityPub communication, but I’m not sure how to do that in Cloudflare.

Yeah Bandcamp is great. They also do Bandcamp Friday events where all the revenue goes to the artist.

The problem is it’s really hard to find any mainstream bands on there. Presumably most of them sign away those rights when they get a label.

How do we know there isn’t a number that was named by a mathematician like googol or Graham’s number, where unlike defining it as a 1 with a hundred zeros after it, it’s instead defined by it’s spelling?

Here’s one: the number seven thousand three hundred and seven is otherwise known as Da…ve’s number, which is spelt with a D and then seven thousand three hundred and three A’s, followed by ve’s. It’s a made up name for a number but so is googol so I think it should be a valid candidate.

In terms of Lemmy instances, if your instance is behind cloudflare and you turn on AI protection, federation breaks. So their tools are not very helpful for fighting the AI scraping.

It says here it’s 100 total: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/plans/plan-types.htm

The Trial plan is limited to 100 total searches. This plan is suited for those interested in exploring Kagi and curious about paid search engines.

Is it 100 a month? I thought it was 100 total, no specified time frame. It’s intended as a trial period not a free tier.

Ah interesting, I didn’t realise Apple Music was available on Android.

For the life of me I cannot find an Apple Music website that lets you buy and download songs. I keep getting directed to download iTunes.

I know Apple has a music store. But if I use Android and Linux, how do I access it?

My favourite thing about Qobuz is they have a store where you pay money and they give you audio files, like in the old days. So you can pay for your music then keep it without an ongoing subscription.

AI scrapers are a massive issue for Lemmy instances. I’m gonna try some things in this article because there are enough of them identifying themselves with user agents that I didn’t even think of the ones lying about it.

I guess a bonus (?) is that with 1000 Lemmy instances, the bots get the Lemmy content 1000 times so our input has 1000 times the weighting of reddit.

If you’re using Nextcloud All In One then it’s easy to enable it in the AIO settings.

If you’re not, I suggest looking into it. It’s the new officially recommended way of installing and it’s been great.

Nextcloud has an export/import data function but at the time I did it I only had a few GB of data so not sure how well it scales.

Ah I didn’t know about the android logs. Next time it happens I’ll check them. Normally I’m not near access to the server when it happens.

I just tried to force android to kill it but I opened up 20 other apps and when I switched back it was still active so I guess I’ll just have to wait.

I’ve looked and looked and can’t find this “log” entry? By global settings, you mean tap the menu at the top right and tap settings?

I’m told Melbourne is mostly the same climate as the northern part of NZ, except it will randomly be 45+ degrees Celsius (apparently 113F).

Good to know. I wonder what the issue is. It has always done it, for the year or more I’ve used it.

Or simply “…they will be deleted after Alexa processes your request and generates a token for AI training”.

Yip that’s the other mentioned app. I’ll try to remember to use it next time I am listening to something.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I don’t use Plex I’m on the Jellyfin side but someone pointed out there’s another app connected to Audiobookshelf so I will use that next time.
