-@gerrit:opendev.org- James E. Blair https://matrix.to/#/@jim:acmegating.com proposed: [zuul/zuul-jobs] 984141: Add prepare-repos role https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-jobs/+/98414100:53
@fungicide:matrix.orgwow, git.kernel.org has anubis cranked to difficulty 5 now, i just watched the browser on my netbook calculating their challenge response for a solid 15 seconds11:35
@tafkamax:matrix.orgI was just thinking, what if the PoW logic in Anubis could be turned into mining bitcoin for example and the generated result goes to the owner of the page . So the linux kernel can fund itself for example :) 11:53
-@gerrit:opendev.org- Zuul merged on behalf of Michal Nasiadka: [opendev/system-config] 983610: Add mirror04.gra1.ovh https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/98361012:55
@mnasiadka:matrix.orgTaavi Ansper: I think there are companies providing „pay-per-crawl” service13:20
@sean-k-mooney:matrix.orgthere are a few like firecrawl13:20
@sean-k-mooney:matrix.orgcloudflare had a more interesting approch they have an offerig where if they are your cdn they can serve your page in markdown automaticly to agents doing the converstion on there end13:22
@mordred:waterwanders.comanubis just did its job blocking my coding agent from reading the roles from the zuul-jobs repo via the web. :) (I told it to just clone the repo and keep a copy for local reference which is a better idea anyway)13:49
@fungicide:matrix.orgmordred: but also if you told it to supply a user-agent that didn't claim to be a graphical browser, anubis would just pass the requests straight through13:52
@mordred:waterwanders.comheh. I figured teaching it to use git would be better anyway13:53
@fungicide:matrix.orgafaik it only presents its challenge to actual browsers (or things trying to pretend they're browsers when they're not)13:53
@fungicide:matrix.orgbut yes, teaching it to use git when accessing git repositories is going to be more efficient for it and many orders of magnitude less load on us13:55

@clarkb:matrix.orgyup if the crawlers would all learn tto maintain a git cache I think they could have acopy of all the data and keep it up todate and no one would care. Zuul's own merger caches are a good example of this being the case15:25
@mordred:waterwanders.comIt's almost like there are more protocols than pure http out there15:31
@fungicide:matrix.orgprobably the reason that doesn't happen (keeping a git cache) is that git caches are expensive compared to lossy llm datasets16:22
@fungicide:matrix.orgfrom a longer-term storage perspective16:23
@mordred:waterwanders.comyah - and harder to throw into an object-storage based data lake20:44
