Since tonight there is a massive increase of visitors on my site, Umami says. Everyone with MacOS on a Laptop, no special referrer, and no single entry point. For me, this looks like somebody scraping content. When an increase like this happened in the past, there was a single entry point

Ich habe im Frühjahr die erste Ausgabe des GoodInternetMagazines bestellt und sie dann eigentlich gar nicht gelesen, weil mich das Layout/Design etwas abgeschreckt hat. Aber vielleicht hat ja jemand anderes Freude daran. Wer Interesse hat, kann sich gerne bei mir melden, ich würde es dann

During the last few weeks and months, it basically became impossible to filter comment spam. The percentage of detected spam decreases, and when I sharpen the filters even more, I get false positives. One cause is, I guess, LLMs and all those easy-to-build AI automations. So, now what?

I had massive problems on my website, several plugins weren't working after I did some updates. I rolled back everything and installed them step by step, still no luck. This night my website has also moved to a new server, maybe that? And then I realized I had a typo in the kirby
