Since Bob and Husker don't frequent these parts, I DMed them as that generates an email. I suggest you all do likewise. 

Pretty sure for @BobDole you need to send snail mail to RR 3 Russell, KS  67665.

Your brain has slowed down and adjusted.

Bob doesn't like taco bell

When you can't even access the circle of death.

Was fast for a while now slow again.   At least my brain feels it’s super slow again.  Also ai is crazy lol

That's just good old fashioned 'scraping' - nothing AI about it.

The marketing departments for AI have got everybody worked up about too much. (Given that it's actually a lot.)

Fair.  But it’s googles ai.   Scraping has been seen for a good 30/40 years.  But I suspect your in IT and you defo know that

Google's AI is known to be not particularly good (even though their search services are incredible.)

What part of "old fashioned" did you miss on my last post?

Invested in CloudFlare. Excellent choice.

I would also highly recommend splitting up your hosting between your largest content consumers. Main web site should be on a single host, forums on a separate host. Same domain, users see no difference at all... but security is 2x stronger.

Weird serious question.  Do you think they manage this directly or just rent it out for a xyz free ?   I don’t think they Manage it at that level

What do I think? I don't pretend to know - but I do think Bob manages it directly.

And if it helps you, it's a whole heck of a lot more difficult to actually do than it is to jabber about it on a forum.

You seem to be over your head and might want to swim to shore.

Hear me out - everything on a shared GoDaddy server running PHP 5.6.. Only the best

/s

 

I’m a big fan of Cloudflare - Porkbun for domains, Cloudflare for DNS, Cloudflare for workers, and then Digital Ocean droplets for hosting.

To clarify, it absolutely needs to be managed at that level.

I'll check tomorrow - but if it's being hosted on a shared GoDaddy server w/old PHP per Nick...  it is a dumpster.
