I can't believe it's been over 4 years since I've written here. A lot has happened I guess. We got through the pandemic. I've continued working on all sorts of interesting projects. The whole AI craze started, and I'm likely going to be replaced by one of those eventually.
Speaking of AI bots. Crawling, from what I suspect is training for AIs has become a big problem for me. So much so I published a module on Drupal.org to combat it, which I call "Facet Bot Blocker". It's simple really, and takes a lot of inspiration from the Facet 404 module. It essentially runs a very early event listener, looks for requests using a specific number of faceted search parameters, and just responds with a minimalist page and a 403.
Anyway. I'll try to be better about posting here. In the meantime, I did migrate to a new host, and finally set up SSL on this site. Progress!
