[2026-08-24T05:17:01Z] <kris_> so it seems like my *home IP address* has been blocked from skarnet.org 
[2026-08-24T05:17:06Z] <kris_> im guessing by their anti LLM thing
[2026-08-24T05:17:22Z] <kris_> i guess i browsed their website a bit too much?
[2026-08-24T06:15:35Z] <midfavila> rip kris
[2026-08-24T06:31:09Z] <kris_> midfavila: yeah idk that just seems overwhelmingly dumb to me
[2026-08-24T06:31:19Z] <midfavila> it is
[2026-08-24T06:31:31Z] <midfavila> llm shit is stupid and so is all the garbage being done to "counter" it
[2026-08-24T06:31:47Z] <kris_> i was kinda on the fence about s6 anyway and not being able to reliably pull their source code might just push me to call the last like 3-4 days a complete waste
[2026-08-24T06:31:52Z] <kris_> at least its only 3-4 days
[2026-08-24T06:31:55Z] <midfavila> people really think that wasting clock cycles is going to counter palantir scraping their invidious instance or w/e
[2026-08-24T06:31:58Z] <kris_> i *could* email him and get unblocked
[2026-08-24T06:32:00Z] <kris_> issue is
[2026-08-24T06:32:05Z] <kris_> when my IP changes, this will just happen again
[2026-08-24T06:32:07Z] <kris_> itll happen for other users too
[2026-08-24T06:32:12Z] <midfavila> yeah it's bullshit
[2026-08-24T06:32:31Z] <kris_> shrub might have been right about just using nitro
[2026-08-24T06:32:35Z] <midfavila> i've started having trouble accessing certain frontends because their proof-of-work checks are insanely compute heavy and my old ass piledrivers can't solve them fast enough 
[2026-08-24T06:32:54Z] <kris_> s6 *is* on github
[2026-08-24T06:32:57Z] <kris_> and there *are* tagged releases
[2026-08-24T06:33:01Z] <kris_> like, on github
[2026-08-24T06:33:02Z] <kris_> im just annoyed
[2026-08-24T06:33:19Z] <kris_> and guess what
[2026-08-24T06:33:26Z] <kris_> most of s6 is documented in html files that i CANT FUCKING PULL
[2026-08-24T06:33:46Z] <kris_> reliably anyway
[2026-08-24T06:34:08Z] <midfavila> sounds about right
[2026-08-24T06:34:30Z] <kris_> how dare i browse their website a bunch ig
[2026-08-24T06:34:55Z] <kris_> one of my friends also got blocked and he barely even visited it
[2026-08-24T07:36:28Z] <sad_plan> kris_: are you sure its not just rate limiting? it sounds wierd that a friend of yours just visited it, and managed to get blocked. unless his *defence* is.. misconfigured at best lol
[2026-08-24T07:36:52Z] <kris_> im not actually sure whats going on now
[2026-08-24T07:37:10Z] <kris_> mid can load it, another friend of mine not from the US can load it
[2026-08-24T07:37:13Z] <kris_> nobody i know in the US can
[2026-08-24T07:37:35Z] <kris_> i figured it was the llm blocking thing because ive seen a bunch of people talking about that
[2026-08-24T07:40:29Z] <sad_plan> hm. wierd. I was able to access it atleast. do you actually need the html docs? I can probably just pull it and tar it up for you if you like
[2026-08-24T07:40:45Z] <sad_plan> I also refreshed a bunch of times, and didnt get blocket yet anyhow :P
[2026-08-24T07:41:07Z] <kris_> well right now i'm just annoyed because i'm trying to reinstall my distro and need to pull the source for everything i use from skarnet
[2026-08-24T07:41:19Z] <kris_> idk i guess ill just vpn to canada
[2026-08-24T07:41:37Z] <sad_plan> that would work too
[2026-08-24T08:00:35Z] <Ozymandias42> kris_, assuming it _is_ the llm blocking thing then it's likely blanko over the complete IP range from the US. which makes sense. the LLM traffic has become worse spam than the nigerian prince email scam. makes sense to just quarantine the whole region...
[2026-08-24T08:06:20Z] <kris_> Ozymandias42: i mean i definitely don't think laurent would do that
