This sounds pretty awesome tbh. Will check out the two books mentioned.

It started with a popular mastodon posts on how to block openai crawlers I think, and I’d like to know whether people are actually implementing it.

Private project, not really security related: Crawling robots.txts to gather some statistics on which bots people are most often excluding - weirdly I couldn’t find any recent/regularly updated stats on this.

I think this is a good idea and wish you all the best.

Moderation will be key of course, but the rules ( http://diagonlemmy.social/post/108 ) sound good.

At the same time, if somebody doesn’t even want to think about HP, they can easily block the entire instance, no harm no foul.

I really like the app for my personal reading tracking. Been using it for a couple years, and this year (?) there was a huge update that improved it a lot (better UX/UI and statistics if I’m not mistaken).

It’s mostly an app that does what it should, but not more, and gets out the way, which is awesome.

Awesome, I didn’t know that either! TIL

Thanks for recommending it, it does look really nice. I’ll definitely check it out when a fitting project comes along.

I’m actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It’s selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.
