we now finally have ModSecurity as a WAF for transfur.social. hopefully this helps me filter out automated spam way easier than the limited tools cloudflare gives us. Bonus upside being able to do json-aware body text filtering for unacceptable content like CSAM hashtags and bigotry, which was […]

unrelated to the last post but google ai overview (combined with medical misinfo facebook reels) genuinely almost got a family member killed just now. If this isn't a reason to keep an eye on what media your family is consuming and using then I don't know what is.

been using backblaze for years but I'm majorly disappointed they don't intentionally support Linux. I pay 15$ a month on windows and if I wanted to backup from Linux I would now be paying 95$ with them. I guess they're just going to lose me as a personal customer.

Small heads up for all #hamradio folk. Do not fall for this scheme from the guy who scraped your callsign and email off QRZ.com. You can get a .com domain, website, and email inbox, for no more than 3$ a month. (billed yearly!) Do not encourage this […] [Original post on transfur.social]
A screenshot of an email from QSL World <postmaster@qslworld.com> delivered to [redacted]@crxb.cc. Reply to qsl@qslworld.com

Subject: [redacted callsign].com is ready!

Hi [name],

We built QTH Page for one simple reason: every ham deserves a clean, memorable home on the web for their callsign.

With QTH Page, you can get your own domain — something like [callsign].com — and point it wherever you want: your QRZ page, your logbook, or a page we host for you. Set it up once, change it anytime.

You can also add real email at your callsign domain, like [name]@[callsign].com — a proper mailbox you can use with any email app.

It's straightforward to set up, and you manage everything from one simple account page. No technical know-how needed.

If you've been meaning to claim your spot on the web, now's a good time. Come take a look:

qthpage.com

73,

The first real result is from Spotify, correctly identifying the lyrics to Forgive by The Flirts.A mobile screenshot, depicting the full search query "i forgive you boy i wont hd it against you" and AI response as follows:

It sounds like we had a little mix-up, but I really appreciate your grace and understanding! I'm always here to help you get things done.

Would you like to get back to what we were working on, or is there something completely new I can help you with today?
