Running my own newsletter using #Mailman since 20 years, manually confirming every request. Luckily. Last night and this morning i had the very first bot attack in all that time, using an online membership request form to bomb request with auto-generated email addresses, btw often but not always starting with the letters b'.
What could generally be done to discard those requests automatically?
Setting up a honeypot within the online form, using an empty subject or name field invisible to a human visitor (using CSS), then discarding those requests automatically, which fill those invisible fields nonetheless?
Further suggestions anyone? Would be much appreciated!

@jrp Haven't done anything like this for a long time, but used a random delay based on the ip address for forms & logins.

However I gave up using a form and instead asked visitors to send an email, which vastly reduced the
spam.

The receiving email address can be a made up one with a catchall or redirect. You could even have a server script to handle the emails to despam them, but I've not done that.

Scott William Perry's "Acoustic Works" are a summing up his acoustic works to date quite well, i personally could kill for the vocal and string works alone. This release explores anything between intimate and highly dramatic compositions of this California-based composer.

On #BandcampFriday i again realize, that marketing doesn't make irrelevant music any greater, than it is. Chicos y chicas: On to the great stuff!

@jrp I think that maybe music is only irrelevant until it finds it's audience. But achieving that can feel like a task that's both mysterious and gargantuan.

Waves Audio is a Tel Aviv-based company recognized widely for their audio plugins. I've put any more purchases and also the use of Waves Audio tech on hold until Netanyahu, the right wing settlers and the war on Palestineans capsize. There's a lot of other great audio stuff on the planet, and this is not just a war against Palestine, it is a war against the people of Palestine.

I would love to also buy more Oktava microphones from Russia, but they are boycotted here, and for a reason. I feel that our times need this type of boycott (clear customer reactions) in order to protect humanity, decency, respect, humbleness and basic human friendliness. Unless those companies involved publicly spoke out agaionst the wars their countries incited.

Mirlo feels like Bandcamp felt, when they started - and before BC got bought out and are now belonging to one of the most extremely musician-damaging license companies on the planet, Songtradr.

So for today's #BandcampFriday we've set the platform cut to 50% on our #Mirlo releases in order to support this upcoming platform.
See @Air Cushion Finish here: https://mirlo.space/air-cushion-finish/release/flink and
Kimmo Elomaa here: https://mirlo.space/kimmo-elomaa/release/raw

Boosts and reshares are appreciated. Support your local independent music distribution
(well in fact it isn't local... really...)

@jrp I'm worried that #Mirlo will soon follow the same path as Bandcamp.

They already favor profitable music a bit too much (their "business model" depends on it ...) and don't promote less popular genres very much : experimental, acousmatic, etc.

#Bandwagon is currently more interesting.

In the (admittedly dark) light of #chatcontrol looming over the EU eventually after Oct. 14th I'm trying out Delta Chat and I can say, that this looks very promising for private conversations in the future.
https://delta.chat/en/
Running it in a mix of Android phone and macos based desktop client.
It is your chance now to try this out and eventually already have some friends gathered there in order to continue private encrypted messaging regardless of whatever stupid stuff politicans might come up with in the near future.

@psout 🐧 hi there, i saw, that you mention your Delta chat address on your profile page and now i am wondering: Isn't this the beginning of a possible privacy violation already again? Just curious about your experience there i suppose. Thanks in advance.

#DeltaChat is excellent !
I've been using it for over a year now, having abandoned Signal (c/o Amazon servers, etc.), then SimpleX chat, whose interface isn't great.

I just realized i am not ever going to release "free sample packs" because it is way too easy to play/generate/produce original sounds. I just tap onto the table surface - you should play your own, too.

And who should be terrorized with canned food at all?

Zu sehen, daß Berlin plant, an 7 Orten KI-gestützte Dauerüberwachung vorzunehmen - siehe https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1194376.innere-sicherheit-freifahrtschein-fuer-massenueberwachung-in-berlin.html - schreit danach, Masken zu tragen und sich unkonventionell in Gruppen zu bewegen (denke: when groups of people meet publicly to do something unexpected) - ausschliesslich, um die KI zu so vielen Fehlalarmen zu bewegen, daß das System einfach zu anstrengend wird. Wir sollen Dauerüberwachung so teuer machen, wie nur irgend möglich.

Eventuell dafür reaktivieren: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob
Bedenke, all dies is Kunst.

@jrp
KI Überwachung funktioniert nicht ohne (hochauflösende) Kameras. Wenn du etwas dagegen tun möchtest und keine Angst vor Vandalismus hast wäre mein Tipp: bestell dir in Fernost einen (hochleistungs) Laserpointer. Das Teil sollte RICHTIG stark sein. Wenn du dann damit in die Kameras strahlst verursachst du damit einen wirtschaftlichen Totalschaden. Du musst nicht nah ran, du musst nur einigermaßen zielen und du zerstörst die Linsen der (KI) Kameras.
