Pretty interesting #video from #katiehopkins on the 15-minute cities: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JFEuD1dTCYw Turns out that #oxford #council failed to release important #data that detroys their case, unless, the point is not to reduce #traffic . It is very simple, they just want less people driving and they don't care what negative outcomes this means for you.
Holy shit, *all* #indian #internet #traffic is #monitored by their #government https://entrackr.com/2022/11/exclusive-i.. Worse still, when a site uses #cloudflare , the #government essentially sees #plaintext #http and can even #inject their own #content https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=335.. What's even more concerning is that other #governments are almost certainly also doing the same.
I saw that the #yandex #taxi #service in #russia was #diverted to create a #traffic #jam in #moscow https://cybernews.com/cyber-war/hackers-.. Apparently this was caused by #hackers ... Hopefully this wasn't a #state #funded #attack as that would have quite big #implications for those #actors #involved .
#drewdevault - a massive name in the #programming space, was #banned from #go 's #issue #tracker due to asking about #network #traffic to his #server from their #modules https://drewdevault.com/2022/05/25/Googl.. In an effort to #reduce #bandwidth he was banned... Great #community they have there...
Spent some time setting up #dnsmasq for my #local #desktop - turns out that it was #bypassing the #dns #cache with `no-resolv`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmas.. Seems to be worth it so far, should massively reduce #traffic !

Reducing #memory usage helped slightly, but it appears to really be eating system resources: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fir.. I think I need a #youtube #alternative !#laptop is screeching to a halt right now - out of #ram and #cpu ... Desperately need a new #machine , this one is really on its last legs during these days.
Numbers are in: Despite moving to a new #server and removing the #git #repositories , the #coffeespace #website appears to still be getting large amounts of #traffic in the 20k+ range and highs of 35k. A large amount of traffic is still from #bots / #crawlers - and these numbers of #inflated - but it doesn't appear to have gone down.
Apparently the #hackernews #server is run like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=160.. But apparently since 2018, it now gets 6M daily #requests https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=284.. #coffeespace gets about 30k requests per day, or 0.5% of their daily #traffic - wow! Joke is, I run my #vps at a fraction of the cost and resources...
Wow, even #dumbphones can contain #preinstalled #malware as tested in #russia https://therecord.media/malware-found-pr.. Apparently this was discovered by setting up a local 2G base station and recording #cell #traffic from the #phone being tested. This is exactly why phones like #pine 's #pinephone is so important!
Interesting, the #uk #isp #sky is actively passing on the #traffic of people they believe are #streaming #football #illegally https://torrentfreak.com/sky-subscribers.. The reason they are working with these #media companies is because they themselves compete for #exclusive #licenses for #livestreaming these events.
Just four months ago #coffeespace was getting about 10k daily #traffic in the logs - now it's up at about 30k daily! That's a massive increase!
I would recommend people #blog about what they want to, not because it's #unique but because they are interested in the thing: https://ognjen.io/technical-blogging-in-.. #stackoverflow may have killed some of the #traffic from people looking to solve a specific problem by copying commands into the terminal, but there is still space for a proper #discussion around different problems and solutions, especially if you introduce something valuable other than the answer.
