TechNews
The host I was using for radiation.party became extremely unreliable, extremely quickly, leading to an extended downtime while I worked on finding a good alternative. I've shoved my lemmy instance onto one of my other dedicated servers for the time being, with the goal of eventually migrating it to its own beefier server. There will be, unfortunately, a flood of posts for missed content on current sources. This has already happened as of me posting this post, so I sowwy. If you'd like to help fund shoving this community onto a beef boy server, let me know here - I might set up a tipjar or something to allow folks to contribute at will.
Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike. This morning, I've updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains: ``` "blockedPhrases": [ "couches", "vegan", "diet", "progressives", "save $", "astrology", "disney plus", "hulu", "apple deals", "prime day", "linoleic acid", "freedom caucus", "mental health", "laptop deals", "smart gadget", "and your money", "folding phones", "chatgpt" ] ``` If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.
