Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

So far I haven't seen any attempts to change their user agents. I've seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I've left them alone.

I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I'll eventually have to adapt my defenses.

I've been fending off AI bots the last week or so; wrote about it here:

I made one the other day, though I bought the music from HDTracks instead of "acquiring" it from Limewire or Kazaa. Burned it to a CD because the bus I drive has a CD player but no SD card slot or anything.

Why did they get removed? I feel like I'm missing a whole backstory here.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Spotted with Missing ROPs, Performance Loss Confirmed, Multiple Vendors Affected (techpowerup.com)
 

Seems like so far, as far as anybody knows, only the Zotac "Solid" cards are affected.

First paragraph reads:

TechPowerUp has discovered that there are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards in retail circulation that come with too few render units, which lowers performance. Zotac's GeForce RTX 5090 Solid comes with fewer ROPs than it should—168 are enabled, instead of the 176 that are part of the RTX 5090 specifications. This loss of 8 ROPs has a small, but noticeable impact on performance. During recent testing, we noticed our Zotac RTX 5090 Solid sample underperformed slightly, falling behind even the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition card. At the time we didn't pay attention to the ROP count that TechPowerUp GPU-Z was reporting, and instead spent time looking for other reasons, like clocks, power, cooling, etc.

When I checked my personal rigs Debian had already released the patches and my home server had already auto updated itself.

She straight up admitted that she was essentially a sock puppet CEO and would offer no friction to anything Musk wanted.
