Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)One of the things in my digital garden is this set of tutorials on webmentions: <a href="https://reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-garden/tutorials/webmention-tutorial/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-garden/tutorials/webmention-tutorial/</a> I noticed I kept writing blog posts about them (and realized I would probably keep doing that for a while!) and decided to put everything in one place. You can use the table of contents (also a new site feature!) to hop around and choose the tutorial you want, and the first two are pretty easy even with only a small amount of HTML experience.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CSS</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Webmentions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webmentions</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Microformats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microformats</a>

Karol PięknikAs a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/seo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seo</a> guy, I sometimes wonder how many brilliant <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webdev</a> ideas and solutions were abandoned because they would be problematic for the GoogleBot crawler and negatively impact rankings for the website. This would be, basically, progress lost in the name of acquiring organic search traffic.I do have a huge respect for people who are building websites with the attitude of "screw your guidelines, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#google</a>, you won't be telling me how to setup my own site".

Jonathan KamensI just figured out I couldn't log into <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Bitly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bitly</a> because I was on a VPN. But instead of it telling me, "We don't allow access through VPNs," it said, "A mysterious error occurred. Please… try again." And when I tried to create a new account, instead of saying I couldn't do that through a VPN, it claimed I was using an invalid email address. Hey, web devs, VPNs are good <a href="https://federate.social/tags/opsec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opsec</a> for everyone. Stop blocking VPNs.

Skora, Willthis is wildly naive, but from a <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a> perspective, what's the advantage behind banning all CORS api requests that come from a web browser, if you're also allowing the same API requests to be made in curl or any other http client on a rented VPN ? are you limiting your threat model/abuse that much by doing 1 and not the other?

Neil CraigAs part of a time-limited trial, yesterday we removed the www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com robots.txt "block" on *one* GenAI crawler.Here's a graph of total daily requests from that 1 GenAI crawler by content-type. You'll note, they've retrieved ~460k web pages in ~16 hours, so a mean of ~28,750 web pages per hour. They'll likely pull ~690k pages today, ~32GB egress.Whilst this is a drop in the ocean versus our other traffic, I can easily see how this could sink a smaller website.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a>
