Service Notice — Noise, Filters, and a Short Downtime

If there is one thing I despise in this life, it is mediocrity.

I don’t tolerate it. I don’t negotiate with it. I don’t coexist with it.

From time to time, I check the logs of this website. And every time, the picture is the same: a non-negligible portion of the incoming traffic (roughly 25%) is generated by the biological equivalent of background noise — scanners, script kiddies, automated trash.

To quote H. P. Lovecraft:

“Things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.”

Fine. Then crawl back.

As a consequence, I started writing my own FAWAF — Fucking Assholes Without Any Future. Have fun with the acronym. Its purpose is simple: keep idiots out and waste none of my time.

For those of you who are actually here to read, learn, think, or sharpen their tools: nothing changes. If anything, you may even notice slightly better performance.

Be aware that the site may be offline for about 10 minutes on January 10th, at 1 PM GMT, due to scheduled infrastructure maintenance (mostly DNS changes).

That’s it.

No drama. No excuses.
