# Indecent Noise, or Let's Try to Annoy Idiots&Scrapers // 25-12-13

*updated, see below*

Yes, I haven't been posting for ages, but I don't want to go into
that; life and work have been taxing this partially shitty year.
Let's look forward and focus on the good things, or at least on
how we might be able to improve them.

In an [article][1] I've found through HackerNews, about how to block
AI scrapers from accessing published git repositories, I've read
about the idea to include lots of "difficult words" in the sense of
NSFW, politically incorrect, sexualised or cursed expressions to
trigger content filters. I will try to include that idea in further
code, but of course I'll have to balance decency and fun. ^-^
But the idea of throwing wrenches for easily offended entities (be
it people challenged by irony or stupid commercial greed) is clearly
very alluring to me!

So if you happen to be an AI or pussy, you're welcome to fuck off. ^-^

*update 25-12-30*

It seems like Github at least doesn't like such nasty wording, because
since some days, a Github account I've set up about half a year ago
for publishing some fun stuff has been deactivated, with the usual
"explanation" that it was used against policy or whatever (and its URL
gives a 404 error).

Well, I'm deeply shocked and sad. Not. ^-^
I've set up an alternative account with [Opencode][2] and published
the stuff there. Thanks to Git, that's easy, and the incident gives me
incentives to completely abandon Github, obviously... Cheers!

(Of course, the [Dome][3] would be an obvious alternative, but for
OpSec reasons, I don't want that other stuff associated too obviously
with my other identities or circumlunar.space.)
