Its making the open web hard to keep up for small entities thats for sure.

This has happened to me personally. I have a very small git server sitting on a very small instance. I noticed my traffic was spiking for the past few days and thought nothing of it.

After I looked at the logs, it was 6 ip addresses. 1 Amazon LLM search and open AI with the other 5. I added them t the fail2ban and thought nothing of it. About 10 min later, openAI had a multitude of new IPs hitting the server again, specifically the git repos. I again looked up to confirm that, yes it totally was OpenAI.

I had to create an AI blackhole with python and create new rules just to stop the LLM madness. It worked but im tempted to put a very small capta like give me 2+2 on a form in order to see my code.

Worst part, I had a robot.txt that totally blocked the indexing of my sites. But they just didnt care.

GL! One of my favorite open source projects!

Calibre can also be a server. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server. I use it all the time with my library.

Excellent!

Nice! Look forward to using it. Thanks everyone!

fascinating! never knew.

I threw it up on Codeberg. Ill add in instructions later mastodon-to-hash-as-mblog. Feel free to fork and add what you want. Ill add in a README in a bit.

One thing to note, you HAVE to create an API token from the mastodon server of your choice in order to make this work. Theres probably a way around this, but I havent found it yet.

I can't get it to work unfortunately. Going to write up a big report. If anyone gets it working let me know.

I see: https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation that does something similar ...hmmmm

Aww man....that sucks! I guess thats an uninstall for me.

I use Mastodon to follow people and Lemmy to follow topics.

I actually created a Proof of concept where each hashtag would be a subreddit like interface a couple of weeks ago. Its VERY rough but links2 compatible :D. The idea is the first hashtag will be the "lemmy community" like interface. Its just mastodon.py with a very small fast api front end. Popped it up in an hour or so. I need to work on the UI badly but I keep not having the spoons.
