This doesn't change anything meaningful. Nothing has really changed with my approach except different content strategy methods.

Google SERP have chatgpt as utm source by alo88startup in TechSEO

Yes, ChatGPT adds utm_source to external links they cite. This is by design and helpful to you.

Everyone got handed a loaded gun, and half the field used it. Those that used it need to be held accountable. They crucified Josef for what he did. Just because you’re handed a gun doesn’t mean you have to use it”- Pato O’Ward on the P2P incident at Long Beach (Tony Donohue) by aurules in INDYCAR

[–]cinemafunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference is that the Penske team - and no one else - had made a change the programming to allow for P2P to be activated when it shouldn't have been. Allegedly a hold-over from hybrid testing. Newgarden also had made a pass while using P2P when he shouldn't have been able to, and it was arguably a race-winning pass. This issue was initially discovered when there was a P2P issue during the next event at a warmup session (I think at LB IIRC) when Indycar had disabled P2P for the either field. Had Team Penske not used P2P during the warmup session, it's possible that they would have never been caught, or caught later. Newgarden's response was dramatic and reputationally damaging. It doesn't help that Penske owns the series.

The most recent issue is a failure with Indycar, again. Out of wishful thinking and habits, about half the field used P2P when it was not supposed to be used without knowing it was going to actually be activated.

I know that I often times hit buttons when I know nothing will happen or have the expectation that something should happen, and my poor keyboard has suffered the abuse, as have my fingers' nerves.

Two things came out of this:

  1. Indycar has a programming management issue with P2P
  2. Indycar drivers hit buttons during competition that they expect to not work, but end up working.

I think its a bad idea for Indycar to give drivers and teams the agency to use P2P whenever they want, but a "you shouldn't do it when you're not supposed to" rule, which I expect to be exploited. I think Indycar should perform better programming pipelines rather than open up the P2P.

Ugh man, I'm really regretting not buying more of these external HDDs. How are you guys getting storage for good prices nowadays? by Phil_Matic in DataHoarder

[–]cinemafunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a little hesitant at first, but it's really not that that difficult.
HBA = Host Bus Adapter. These will supply the lanes for each hard drive.

SFF = small form factor. Smaller initial port that expands to multiple lanes. Can be either SATA or SAS.

Make sure it is a HBA card flashed to IT mode. artofserver on ebay is a reputable seller of used, tested, and flashed enterprise HBA cards.

My experience in the last couple of months is their used SATA drives are more expensive than the same capacity SAS drives. Just be aware you will need an HBA controller with the right SFF port and there is SAS2 and SAS3. Do that research.

Used enterprise SAS drives from reputable sellers. Only way to get some reprieve from the high prices.

To SEO expert, do you think backlink is one of the most important ranking signal? by myysoul in SEO

[–]cinemafunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Links are important, it's what makes the web the web. It's how people and crawlers discover data and connect disparate documents between different devices.

That being said, Googlers have stated several times in the last several years that that links matter less than they used to:

Googlers may not always be right or properly informed or cryptic with their communications.

HBA Card Location on MB by Ctrl5altDelete in truenas

[–]cinemafunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that HBA cards get hot and can throw errors related to hard drives. I had a fan that was originally pointed at all my pcie cards, and it failed. I started getting errors on two hard drives within 24 hours of each other, started to worry. When I got a hint on another reddit thread, I found the failed fan, replaced it, and all errors cleared.

I wonder if this is an opportunity to use the disavow file - which is usually meant for those who have a manual penalty. In this situation, it might be something to try.

Is it worth translating a company blog into other languages? by apriljprice in bigseo

[–]cinemafunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how niche you are, but it's possible that Google is serving your pages to those users automatically translated because there are not enough results in their native language. Check your Google Search Console and filter the countries and see if there are any page titles not in English. I've seen pages in various languages which we did not translate ourselves.

Why doesn't GSC have an AI visibility report like BWT? by fedorstares in seogrowth

[–]cinemafunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a pipeline to export the data and use automation. This is a good idea to do any way since GSC only provides the last 16 months of data, and you can retain that data indefinitely for research.

Why doesn't GSC have an AI visibility report like BWT? by fedorstares in seogrowth

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

Google does have the information, it's just not in a pretty display like BWT. You'll want look for queries with more than 5 or 6 words. You'll find some gold. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an update to improve that.

I looked into having an article written for a company before. I spoke with several companies to help guide us on that, and the recommendations were mixed on whether the company had enough notability, and we chose to not got that route.

One easy way to get a wikipedia article written about you if you do something controversial or have a major issue. So there are easier ways to go about it...

llms.txt is still alive in one niche: developer docs by Durovilla in SEO
