If your usual music streaming service is down at the moment due to Cloudflare controlling half the internet, it would be a great time to try something alternative. Why not check out: The Indie Beat Radio: The Faircamp web ring: Everything Bonk Wave or Not Bonk Wave: .. and plenty more links over here: #music #independentMusic #tibr #BonkWave #NotBonkWave #nham #Faircamp #Cloudflare
Apparently it's #MusiciansDay which is nice. You can find a lot of rather lovely indie musicians on the #Faircamp #Webring here: - all self-hosted and free of vested corporate interests. If you happen to notice on your way around the ring, that one would be mine - all free to stream and download.
For those keeping track, I'm now up to 1.3 million hits on my robot website in the last five days. Those came from over 800,000 unique IP addresses. That's a staggering number. If it keeps up at this rate it will hit over a million unique devices sometime tomorrow. This is a giant #botnet, right? Like, one of the biggest out there? I'm currently doing some mapping to ASNs, to see if there's patterns. Previous reports (user-agents and country distributions):
In the last three days, my tiny honeytrap robot has had *760,000* hits , nearly all unique URL paths, from *510,000* unique IP addresses and a wide range of user-agents. This doesn't appear to be malicious as far as I can tell - I think it's just crawling the site (which is effectively an infinite labyrinth) - although why anyone would use a #botnet for that is confusing to me. The site is handling it, for now, but the hit rate is increasing each day. Half a million devices.. yikes.
Many thanks to @npub10u0v...x5et for having me on their podcast! I've never done anything like that before, hopefully I managed to not sound too much like an idiot! If you want to hear me talking about stuff like the #Faircamp #Webring, #FairTradeMusicFriday, Image2Midi and of course #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave, you can find it hosted by the lovely @npub1htd4...fq0v folks here: There's a bit about about Key 13 too...
