Does anyone have #Matomo page overlays working, on a #Drupal site?
I have the site showing in the window after allowing in a content security policy, but endless "Loading..." and no overlay data...

@iangriffin It's a lot more interesting hearing the backstory -- at first I thought it was something #ai generated!
So we just found Google Translate adding style=";text-align:right;direction:rtl" to all HTML headers and paragraph tags when translating text to Arabic.
Was messing up text that is supposed to be centered on the page. Seems like a bug to me -- semicolons getting switched, and very presumptuous of them to assume we need alignment help...
Brilliant analysis of LLMs (like ChatGPT) as psychic con artists, by @baldur :
"Taken together, these flaws make LLMs look less like an information technology and more like a modern mechanisation of the psychic hotline."
Ok, maybe it's time to ditch #Zoom ? It's been working fine for me on NixOS/KDE/Plasma with Wayland for months now -- until today.
Today it has a nice shiny new interface, and refuses to let me share my screen -- it pops up a window listing a dozen Linux distros (not including NixOS) and says I'm not using a supported OS.
@ericmann Hmm maybe just lightning striking twice? Wonder if there was some sort of collision?
I just checked my Good2Go password, which I've had for several years, it's not showing in Bitwarden's check for breached passwords
Listening to https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/do-less/ while building out a site... So much of what we do with #Drupal development is taking stuff out, making things simpler.
Anybody else dealing with a DDOS targeting search pages? We've been playing whack-a-mole with new AI bots appearing and scanning a bunch of our sites, but today I have one site that's getting ~260 requests per minute on different search results... from 260 different IP addresses, 7 different user agent strings (of which only 2 identify themselves as bots, accounting for 12 of those 260 requests). #Drupal #nginx #ddos #fail2ban
Was just reading https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/ , which does a great job of explaining why getting things aligned on a web site can take soooo much time! #webdev
@nixCraft @osm_fr I wonder how much of Amazon's $4B investment in Anthropic ( https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-anthropic-ai-investment ) they are recouping in extra EC2 bandwidth charges from all the website scraping ClaudeBot is doing?
@nixCraft This explains a lot -- several sites we manage have been hit by extremely unfriendly ClaudeBot scrapes in the past week. We've been putting in rate limiters that help -- but I like the idea of poisoning 😀
In Little Rock AR, hitting the road to go an hour north for a longer #TotalEclipse ... Sunny skies, looks like we nailed it for the best weather in this part of the eclipse path!
