• [[Listened]]: [[Brian Merchant, "Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech"]]

• [[Spam]].

  • Our website is experiencing an uptick in spam over the last few days.
  • Incredibly irritating.
  • With comments like 1*if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(15),0).
  • We have Akismet and a honepot enabled. Adding a very noddy manual captcha (e.g. 4+8 = ?) helps. But if it continues, we'll probably have to enable ReCaptcha. Which I'd prefer to avoid if possible.
  • Seemingly emanating from the same IP address.
  • The host lists an abuse@ address. But when I contact that address, the mailbox is reported as being full.
