It seems to be related to that: https://github.com/mozilla-services/autograph/blob/main/signer/contentsignaturepki/README.md.

Edit: so, from what I understand: when Mozilla send some data to your browser, your browser will call this service to see if the content received is signed by Mozilla.

A possibility to game this kind of bots is to add a hidden link to a randomly generated page, which contain itself a link to another random page, and so one.: The bots will still consume resources but will be stuck parsing random garbage indefinitely.

I know there is a website that is doing that, but I forget his name.

Edit: This is not the one I had in mind, but I find https://www.fleiner.com/bots/ describes be a good honeypot.

The only simple possibles ways are:

• robot.txt
• rate limiting by ip
• blocking by user agent

From the article, they try to bypass all of them:

They also don’t give a single flying fuck about robots.txt …

If you try to rate-limit them, they’ll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they’ll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.

It then become a game of whac a mole with big tech 😓

The more infuriating for me is that it’s done by the big names, and not some random startup. Edit: Now that I think about it, this doesn’t prove it is done by Google or Amazon: it can be someone using random popular user agents

WWIII will get memed or will not be

there is also a little bit of misogyny in people calling him the first lady.

You are right. I’m sorry, I didn’t think about that.

Musk also called out the Department of Energy’s chief climate officer in its loan programs office. The office funds fledgling energy technologies in need of early investment and awarded $465 million to Tesla Motors in 2010, helping to position Musk’s electric vehicle company as an EV industry leader.

It seems that Tesla was estimated at 1.35B in 2010.. I don’t know how to curse this guy anymore.

A senior adviser to climate at the Department of Housing and Urban Development was also singled out. The original X post said the woman “should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US taxpayer to be the ‘Climate advisor’ at HUD.” Musk reposted with the comment: “But maybe her advice is amazing.” Followed by two laughing emojis.

What a fucking elon musk thing to say. And of course this leads to harassment.

It is depressing to see he will become the first lady soon.

From Wikipedia

The missile was made ITAR-free at the initiative of France.[31]

So no American components, quite usual for French weapon.

It’s having a bad hair day, give it a rest!

This kind is doing a better job as a journalist than 90% of the profession.

Thanks Gary,
