You can have all the measures in place that are described in that post, and your code can still be bad. High unit test coverage tells you exactly zero about the solution itself.

And technical quality gates do not help if the human side lacks defense against slop code. If you don't have the right managers in place, the 2 years of experience vibecoder who ships a feature in 4 hours will always win against the 20+ year senior who actually looks at the code he is about to ship.

I noticed that recently Github.com has some kind of weird bot detection on public repos. I have a browser extension for switching User Agents for a specific legacy site, sometimes i forget to turn it off and Github will require me to login to view public repos.

All of this is most likely due to mass scraping by LLMs. Welcome to the total shitification of the web.

Most likely, their own data residency terms prohibit this. It would be interesting to know if, when 2 out of 3 AZs got destroyed, customers got a heads up to move their data to a different region?

If a AWS customer chooses to store their data in a single AZ, that is a design choice. AWS is not taking a daily copy of a entire regions S3 cluster and driving it to some warehouse for a "just in case" situation. That is why Multi-AZ exists.

He forgot to add "if it's Multi-AZ" ;)

Remind me please, what are folks currently paying per seat for this glorified CRUD app?

Or the victims have no incentive to do so, such as in the Hugging Face case.

Apart from the AI chain, who is benefiting from the explosion of vibecoded slop project?

I can think of domain registrars and entry-level VPS hosters (non-Hyperscaler)

Who else? Asking from a investment perspective.

No mention of Flock anywhere in the text

100%. Anything with the name "Norton" is burned for me. This goes back to uninstallable Software around Windows XP era.

$2800 in most of Europe

yeah, insane.

Bunny is the MVP among these European alternatives. It's not just a CDN, it offers Cloudflare-style Edge scripting, Edge workers, databases (Sqlite compatible) etc.

It seems you know more than the police does. I suggest you provide your highly valuable information to the investigators.

Actually, the police is looking for known suspect (German) that is believed to be a "climate extremist".

The (refundable) escrow payment would indeed be a possible solution.

I feel to some degree governments are also responsible for this, by not making consistent use of *.gov domains.

Take for example sunbiz.org, the Florida business register. For 20+ years sunbiz.org was the official domain, until they switched to dos.fl.gov in 2023. The average joe may have heard about "Sunbiz", but was the domain sunbiz.com, sub.biz, sunbiz.net ... who knows?? How would anyone know? All of this could have been avoided by using *.gov everywhere in the first place.

Feels this another fake "research institute" website used for astroturfing and influencing LLM results.

Ah, the beautiful beige slop with unreadable contrasts.

Yeah lil bro, the times where you could charge $20 for some coding snippet ended about 20 years ago.

So X(.ai) can scrape the entire web, but nobody can scrape X. Makes sense.

Site (Wordpress) seems to have gotten the HN kiss of death

The 9€/mo price point seems weird, considering its "just" static hosting and i can get a decently sized VPS for that money (yes, also from a EU host).

Trivial to do nowadays: https://focsec.com/

German courts think the internet revolves around German laws. There are some really insane cases, sometimes they will consider a website to fall under German jurisdiction simply for having a German-language version (somehow ignoring that Austria and Switzerland exist, ignoring German-speaking minorities in other countries, ignoring that a fully automated translation in 100+ languages is now possible at the click of a button).

Several (European) alternatives are available: https://eualternative.eu/categories/public-dns/

It seems "AEO" is the preferred term in the US, while Europe loves "GEO".

Their site is a totally blank HTML page, it seems?

Domains investors (or squatters, as one may call them) have been around since the beginning of domains.

Middleman company buying middleman company. Makes sense.

It's also a bump up in overall size. The OG F-91W wears very tiny on a larger wrist.

F-91W (old): 38.2 × 35.2 × 8.5 mm

F-B100W-1A (new): 41.9 × 38.1 × 8.8 mm

>machine0 provides on-demand cloud virtual machines accessible via a command-line interface and web dashboard. VMs run on DigitalOcean infrastructure.

Well, given DigitalOceans already inflated prices, this certainly won't be cheap.

Yup, my bad, fixed.
