If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

#emacswiki is now blocked for me, since they block complete networks from which they're hammered.
I can understand them, but now the internet becomes slowly unusable for the rest of us: Small service providers, those of us unfortunately having to share a network with abusers.
I am pretty angry now. It's not just that we cannot use (or want to use) all that new "tech".
No. It's now actively damaging also and especially pretty low tech uses of the Internet (like running a wiki on a home sever).
Did I say, I am pretty angry now?
@osm_tech what is a embedded-Sdk network?
@osm_tech definitely not google’s doing
@osm_tech I'm administering a web server for a client that has about 50 web sites. Every few days they get hammered by residential proxy IPs for a few hours, so I finally installed Anubis.
Hiti
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
