On Saturday,
I sent a message to the party responsible for slamming my Gemini server
(one among several)
and I've yet to receive any response.
I removed the block from the firewall,
and I haven't seen any requests from said bot.
It looks to have been a one-off thing at this time.
Weird.
But then again,
this is the Intarwebs,
where weird things happen all the time.
At this point,
I'm hoping it was fixed silently and it won't be an issue again.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
