PSA: @TencentGlobal is aggressively scraping the Internet to build yet another AI slop chatbot, DDoSing many websites in the process.

We've found that, as of last week, their scraping bots can now solve Cloudflare challenges and behave like real users while ignoring robots.txt. In the last 24 hours alone, our website received more than 3 million successful requests from Tencent bot IP addresses, plus another 1 million that were blocked by Cloudflare challenges.

These recurring DDoS attacks from Tencent have been going on for over a year, and we have been constantly adjusting our firewall rules to filter them while trying not to impact Tencent's real users. Because that is no longer possible, we're now fully blocking Tencent IP addresses, starting with ASN 132203. We recommend other sysadmins do the same.

Other ASNs displaying similar abusive behaviour will also be fully blocked from our services.

We'd also like to thank @Cloudflare for sponsoring us with Project Alexandria as of 2025, giving our sysadmin the tools to keep RPCS3's online services running without service disruptions.

@LavenderLovetap @Rthomas731 @Rothmus Imagine how wild it must be to a little kid raised with streaming to learn that if you have this strange device you can watch you favorite show any time you want and you don't even have to pay for netflix to do it

@Rothmus Outdated technology is indistinguishable from magic.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

And you actually own the thing.

Might also include the recipes for the glass cleaner and pan cleaner i've made before. they're super easy to make and you can get the ingredients in bulk easily. saves money over buying specialized cleaners

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

just need to actually assemble the template, i've taken extensive notes on how i want it to look already which for me is about 80% of the process already done

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

I doubt anybody reads this but when I finish it I'll try to remember to upload a template and link it here for anybody who wants it. Just so sick of awful internet recipe formatting

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

I use a lot of internet recipes so I'm finally going to bite the bullet and put together a universal recipe format that I can easily plug the ones I like into. Going to be easy to print. Will be nice for the few cleaners I know how to make from everyday stuff too

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

Got an old college binder to put it in and I'm going to get some sheet protectors and tab dividers so I can jump to categories easily and keep them safe from grease etc.

@simonowens Gotten some fantastic deals on brands I wouldn't have even known to look for because of his videos. Absolute king

You can also just hide in the woods to fight smaller enemies because the trees can take a beating from their guns but yours will punch right through them

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

Makes this a really good ambusher because you can just kill that big motherfucker through the building before he sees you

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

With how good Brigador's environmental destruction is you can just shoot guys through buildings with the Gutterball. It's a mortar round that punches through stuff instead of having a big explosion. Plus enemies take extra damage based on what side you hit them.

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

It's a pretty solid ambush build because Archie shreds enemy shields and the Gutterball does massive hull damage

[John Freeman @Zeonposter]

Doing the Big Lebowski achievement, this is basically a fast, fragile flying car with an EMP to either retreat or let you safely AoE down enemies. Gutterball is a mortar that punches through basically anything and Archie is a cannon with airburst rounds
