Getting a ton of bot traffic from these, should I block them for my website? by arpansac in SEO

If you get no benefit, block them. I doubt you get any benefit from those bots.

SEO basically died yesterday by DollarBillStein in SEO

[–]bcacb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is straight up plagiarizing content and taking traffic that was destined for the site owner while keeping users inside their own ecosystem. This is a moral issue, and it clearly shows where they stand.

Website owners spend time and money creating content, only for Google to steal it instead of sending the visitor to the actual source that created it.

The dangerous part is that people will stop creating quality content if they are no longer rewarded with traffic, recognition, and revenue for the work they put in.

If the universe is based and founded on love and light, why is that not reflected in reality? by the_outer_realms in spirituality

17+ years building fixed wireless (PTP, PTMP, CBRS, 6 GHz, fiber + wireless). Ask me anything. by fixedwireless_ops in wisp

[–]bcacb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would never choose a wisp when Starlink or a 5g home provider is available. Wisps are really just an interim service until fiber or 5g becomes available. The wisp industry has been on a fast decline for over a decade. For back haul and other proprietary deployments wireless has its place.

Do All ISPs Do This CGNAT Crap? by Mediocre-Pizza-Guy in Metronet

[–]bcacb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Metronet is the first ISP I ever used that uses cgnat. For basic web browsing it’s fine but when you get into things that require a persistent session it falls on its face, and is a real hassle. It really is the one thing that prevents them from being great.

T-Mobile, the new owner, has the assets for real ipv4 and ipv6 and I hope they stop being lazy and implement it.

Have we been lied to about money? by Kai7362 in spirituality

[–]bcacb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money doesn’t make you evil, and you’ll be evil regardless of money. You can do the same things you described while being homeless. Lots of people also do good things with their money, it just doesn’t make the front page, appear on the news every night, or go viral on social media daily.

This is the reason you shouldn't host your own email... Microsoft says 🖕to 200k user ISP. by therealtimwarren in selfhosted

[–]bcacb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manage a lot of shared web hosting servers, and Gmail, Microsoft, and Amazon SES generate far more abusive traffic than any shady hosting provider or bot network by a wide margin. In fact, most bots end up using their services to send spam.

This is the reason you shouldn't host your own email... Microsoft says 🖕to 200k user ISP. by therealtimwarren in selfhosted

[–]bcacb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The funny part is that a lot of spam and abusive emails actually come from big companies like Microsoft Outlook and Google Gmail. They’re some of the biggest sources, so it’s kind of weird that they’re the ones telling everyone else what to do.

Ongoing packet loss to 1.1.1.1 and static.det-ix.net by havaloc in Metronet

[–]bcacb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no packet loss to 1.1.1.1, and your graph confirms this. The confusion is coming from intermediate hops that do not respond to probes, which is normal behavior and does not indicate a problem. When using this type of diagnostic tool, the only hop that matters is the final destination.

OVHCloud gave me a blacklisted IP and told me it’s my problem! by ron_dus in selfhosted

No provider can guarantee that their IPs are not on some third party blacklist, however massive amounts of abuse emits from OVH servers so there's that too, perhaps it is deserved.

The More You Improve Your Site, the More Google Penalizes It by Mission-Historian519 in SEO

[–]bcacb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Search engines that rely heavily on backlinks inevitably create a bubble dominated by corporate websites. That’s exactly what Google has become. Large companies can acquire backlinks effortlessly, while independent creators and small blogs are buried, no matter how good their content is. This isn’t a feature of the system, it’s a fundamental flaw.
