NEW POST: Small Updates
A new space on the site for short posts and photos – written here first, then shared to Mastodon and Bluesky.
Broadening My Horizons
Lately, I have been thinking about expanding the scope of this blog. I will still write the usual plain text and digital self-reliance content, but will expand into other topics that interest me as well. I was not sure if this was the right move for me, but a little peer confirmation gave me the nudge that I needed.

theaardvark live, 9pm UK tonight, and it's a different one. No camera this week. I've got work to get through, so it's the playlist show I've been threatening for months: tracks picked by a human rather than mixed live, with me still chatting along, just a bit less than usual.

Also on Mixcloud, Twitch and Slipmat.
Still no algorithm. Just a busier aardvark.

What do you suppose will be the end result if I effectively block AI from constantly scraping my sites? Will I cease to exist to all those who use AI? Why aren’t more people upset at paying for web traffic they don’t want?
Gosh, I sure hope this works. Why don’t hosting platforms just do this for you? Oh, I know, but fuck me. I installed this plugin on all five of my sites. That will be sweet if it works. Solve a lot of problems and keep my costs low. I was contemplating upgrading my VPN, which I think is ridiculous. #IndieWeb #AICrawlers
I am trying to restrict the bullshit traffic from crawlers and scrapers because my VPN struggles with the load for three tiny websites, even though it shouldn’t. It’s one brochureware site for my consultancy and four tiny blogs, only two of which are even active.
Used plugin to block entire countries, but am now trying a plugin called Known Agents, that seems promising. I’m gonna let this go for a week and see if my traffic drops to something reasonable and organic.
Testing a new way of posting here – short updates written on my own site first, then shared out – trying to go #POSSE #IndieWeb
