I've been running hot with go-away (https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away) for a while now and I'm really starting to like the results.
I had to put a few massively violent rules for scrapers trying to smash my blog posts, which is doing the job at blocking fake users when the signaled bots find themselves locked at the door.
It's also very good at more fine rules to allow certain federated legitimate needs pass through.
I'm far from done at tweaking, however, the results of reducing non-genuine traffic from thousands an hour to 100 legitimate users every few days is a great show to see that I'm not wasting my resources on Sam's Plagiarism Machine

I’d be more Yahoo! on that one, nobody knows why it’s there, people still use it, and it’s gonna be hacked like 800 times and they’ll never really do anything about it except take more personal data

we actually do have a version of that which is doable with the current technology.
Somebody (ChatGPT probably) just has to give them an alert that nuclear war is happening in a couple days, they scuttle to their bunkers, and we cement up the doors.
Let them build whatever fantasy land they like down in their holes while the rest of us can be free of them

more unethical whitewashing and a spineless EBU not sanctioning them for it amongst everything else they should have been sanctioned for

oddly enough you don't see that same energy by the police when actual nazis march

Heads up fedi admins, I just had to do a little deep dive on a scraper found on my website that is connected to an AI outfit kagi.ai.
User-Agent Trafilatura (this is a legit python package used in research)

you pretty much said it. If France can still have what is effectively just another ccTLD for .aq, certainly the UK will not have a problem keeping .io alive for their claim.
That's not even mentioning .gb exists and hasn't been used for decades, with the UK only last year giving their intention to retire it

I was going to recommend Ouvaton, being a cooperative is much better than OVH who accidentally let all their backups go up in flames 😅
