GTK ported to Android — here we gooooo!
(lemmy.world)
This is very exciting. Here is the APK I downloaded. And the associated discussion.
It even already seems to support stylus input which is very exciting seeing as there has been talk of porting RNote to Android.
Tarpits suck. Not worth the implementation or overhead. Instead the better strat is to pretend the server is down with a 503 code or that the url is onvalid with a 404 code so the bots stop clinging to your content.
Also we already have non-PoW captchas that dont require javascript. See: go-away for these implemwntations
There is negligible server overhead for a tarpit. It can be merely a script that listens on a socket and never replies, or it can reply with markov-generated html with a few characters a second, taking minutes to load a full page. This has almost no overhead. Implementation is adding a link to your page headers and running the script. It's not exactly rocket science.
Which part of that is overhead, or difficult?
