Is there a simple way to severly impede webscraping and LLM data collection of my website?

Jump

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt

    Should cover any polite web crawlers but it is voluntary.

    https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot

    Might have to put it behind a captcha or other type to severely limit automated access.

    It's not realistic to assume it won't get scraped eventually. Such as someone paying people to bypass capatcha or web crawlers that don't respect robots.txt. I also don't know if Google and Microsoft bundle their AI data collection that doesn't also remove your site from web search.

  • Robocalls should be opt-in unless emergency broadcast. Examples for TTY or other systems typically via text/email for vision impaired.

  • There's a website called privacy.com for US that lets you virtualized any debit card. I believe PayPal has the feature too.

  • Last I read IBM was one of the big companies pursuing R&D in quantum computers and such plus they have some software stuff like crimestat and the weather channel under their umbrella.

    • How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet?

    Jump

  • I keep everything behind a VPN so I don't have to worry much about opening things up to the Internet. It's not necessary about the fact that you're probably fine but more so what the risk to you is if that device is compromised, ex: a NAS with important documents, or the idea that if that device is infected, what can that device access.

    You could expose your media server and not worry too much about that device but having it in a "demilitarized zone", ensuring all your firewall rules are correct and that that service is always updated is more difficult than just one VPN that is designed to be secure from the ground up.

  • I'm happy with proxmox in a non-production environment/homeLab. Stable and straightforward.

    Just found out from your comment that windows is shutting the door completely on CPUs that don't support POPCNT. There's config settings to install Windows 11 on legacy hardware (old CPU, tpm chips, etc) but who knows when they'll pull the plug on that.

    • What's a good piece of hardware to run a jellyfin server?

    Jump

  • If space isn't an issue, getting a cheap office surplus machine like a Dell Optiplex SFF line for ~$100 US vs the USFF so that it supports low profile PCI-E for a hba card for more storage, or nvidia quadro p400 for better encoding at like $30-50.

    It will probably use a bit more wattage, especially with more HDDs, but still should be around 50w idle for even the old systems.

  • Most are designed for the cover to move to the side when deployed but some are designed to split in some way that could cause the rhinestones to come free.

  • Powerline adapters use the ac electrical outlets to run Ethernet. It's not as good or cheap as just Ethernet cables but it's usually better than wifi.

  • On Android and I believe IOS it's a single connection. I would start with the basic functionality (also don't create a tailscale account with GitHub bc it does weird things with sharing if you ever want to have multiple users).

    Once you've got the VPN and storage working I can think of two options to give you the functionality of 2 vpns

    1. tasker is an android app that can let you automate a lot. It might let you switch vpns when opening say your storage app and switch back a bit easier than toggling it in settings.
    2. setup your lap-server at home with an outgoing public VPN so traffic goes mobile device> tailscale> public VPN. Essentially acting like you're home using your public VPN. This may take some tinkering to work properly, especially when you're home on the same network. Plus you would definitely see a Network speed impact on your phone.

  • Tailscale + truenas is a simple solution that should allow OP access outside the network without any network config. E

    • Is there any hope to replace this switch?

    Jump

  • As others mentioned, you can probably use a 3 gang standard faceplate.

    The other option would be using a Shelly this is wired like a 3-way switch inside the box; the outside will look normal. As long as you have space, I think the mini should work but I'm not super familiar with their models.

    • Cable lobby to FCC: Please don’t look too closely at the prices we charge

    Jump

  • My choices are Verizon FiOS and Xfinity. I'd rather stay with FiOS than move to 5G because I do have some applications that benefit from 1% highs being <20ms ping. Plus when I looked at 5G the pricing was still around that $40-50 range for a decent line of service.

    It's just annoying because FiOS has a "2 year price guarantee" for new subscribers but is shafting my prices after 12 months. Xfinity is ~$5 cheaper but setup fees are ~$200 and I have to buy my own modem if I don't want to pay the $10-20 rental fee. All that assumes Xfinity doesn't raise their rates in 2 years.
