+100 deloptes, but we are the choir you are preaching to. So many of us who liked the original kde, and have been using it since about 1.2 are now running TDE which is a fork of kde at about the 3.5 level, with hundreds of bugs fixed, but few new features. No changes of note in the eye candy. Generally, it just works. Todays question is how do you control webcrawler bots that ignore robot.txt, download the whole site using up your upload bandwidth, and repeat from the top when they have accomplished an image of the site. I've taken the view that I'll note their address from the httpd logs and have added it in CIDR/24 format to my hosts.deny. Thats a bit of a cylinder bored shotgun I guess as I have a potential user in Sweden reporting a blank page right now for http:// http://geneslinuxbox.net:6309/gene/lathe-stf/linuxcnc4rpi4 Which should show a directory list of 9 or so files, and clicking on one of them should offer to download it. But its all for armhf on an rpi4b. But these damned bots that ignore your robot.txt are using up all my upload bandwidth if I let them. Screw em, and the camel that rode in on them. And just now yandex has figured a way around my blocks and so has semrush.com/bots and my upload bandwidth of around 300 kbaud is being used up. And sucking everything in a new directory I just created Friday to hold those downloads. Around 3.5GB total. This is as far as I'm concerned a DDOS being done by about 5 of the webcrawlers extant, bingbot is in the block list as is googlbot. But the logs are currently showing a private copy of FF-60 in that directory, so perhaps the Swede will get what he needs. I don't show any of those bots ever reading robots.txt. Shame on them. If the swede would give me his ipv4, I'd put him in my hosts.allow. But I guess I'd better restart apache2 and interrupt this party so I can upload this reply. Done.
