This is a real time recording of my git server's web access logs. It's a constant stream of requests from "Claude" attempting to access every possible item on the site.

A couple of months ago, I set up a rule to return an error code for every request its user agent makes. It has not retrieved a single valid item for many, many weeks at this point. Every request is immediately and abruptly terminated.

It hasn't even slowed down as a result.

Tell me again how their operation involves "intelligence" of any kind.

sometimes i’m thinking about becoming a vibe coder because i’m lazy as fuck but then i realize the models tend to be even lazier than me

IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good!

here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening:

you don't need a bouncer (friggin finally). there are moblie clients that work well
you can see backlog when joining a channel
you can browse chat history
you can connect from multiple devices with one account and nickname
if you disconnect, your nickname is still present in a channel you joined, marked as away
you can highlight or DM people who are away and they'll see your message when they join (without crutches like MemoServ)
there is a "last read message" marker and it is synchronized between multiple connections
you don't need to deal with fussy nonsense like NickServ authorization, ghosting, or such; connect with your username and password and that's it
there are typing notifiers, if you want them
there are message reactions, if you want them

here's the things it does not offer:

image, video, or file uploads
stickers
complex onboarding tools

unexpectly, i realized that IRCv3 can completely replace Matrix rooms for my own group chat purposes, and i'm probably not going to set up any Matrix homeservers again; it's just not worth it and frankly I should instead put that effort into coming up with a file upload IRCv3 extension or something

Prediction for the potential future:

When the AI coding agent companies are just about to run out of money, down to their last few % raised as none of their customers are actually paying the real cost required to run these services, they pivot and take all of the uploaded code that was willingly sent to them, turn it into thousands of products / services to sell / rent, disconnect the public api endpoints leaving their old customers helpless as they no longer remember how to program "in the raw" and can not understand their own codebases, and compete directly against them putting their own customers all out of business which finally results in a positive income stream and "validation" of the coding agent companies previously over-hyped business valuations.

🥳 Earlier today we landed the bits in #phosh to show the splash screens of running apps in the overview. This also hopefully looks a bit more polished than the initial version. Likely not much news on other platforms but this was bugging us for some time 😅:
