You're talking about someone that had her floor in the EU building fortified, only allowing access for a few selected people. Does that look like she intends to improve her reputation to you?

$ strings "PSOFT Pensil+ 4 Render App.app/Contents/MacOS/Pencil+ 4 Render App (Trial)"
...
pshi_%s.dat
psh_%s_%u.tmp
psh_%s_%u.dat
/Users/Shared/.etc

So, maybe check the /Users/Shared/.etc folder? Make sure to turn on hidden files in Finder by pressing ⌘⇧. (dot)! Also, look for some files starting with psh_.

EDIT: I've also seen something like /.config/ or /.config/PSOFT/ - so might be in your user directory or in the /Users/Shared/ one.

How else is Mrs. von der Leyen supposed to sue people that speak badly about EU politicians?

Try installing/running it while offline.

Also, most apps just put a preferences file at some obscure location. Try uninstalling it using AppCleanerX (make sure to remove everything it shows) and see whether that helps.

The bots don’t care about Anubis, though. Yes, their request will take a bit longer, but since each request is coming from a different device, they don’t care. They’ll just do the pow in parallel. And in the meantime you’re annoying every actual human visiting your site.

For me, every single request is coming from a different random IP address (different ASN, different country, etc.) using a random plausible User-Agent. There's no way to discern them as bot requests. And since every request is coming from a random source, things like fail2ban or CrowdSec don't really work. You can block a few major ASNs but there will still be lots of requests making it through.

And these things work by going through a list of URLs previously collected. About a week ago I've configured a redirect for ALL requests to my personal Gitea instance to a zip bomb. It's been 7 days now where the website was inaccessible and I still see requests for deep links, e.g. specific commits or lists of pull requests. These things are relentless. That's also one of the arguments against Anubis - those scrapers just don't care.

I've found some comments that at least a few ISPs check AbuseIPDB.com and cancel their customer's contracts if their IP appears in that database. So, I've now resorted to occasionally collect those IPs hammering my poor Raspberry Pi and reporting them to the AbuseIPDB. If people are unknowingly running a "residential proxy" (why don't we call them "open proxies" anymore?) somebody needs to let them know, I guess.

Isn’t Anubis useless against AI scrapers and just annoying people by now?

For the real "TV feeling", try ErsatzTV. It basically creates multiple real-time streams of TV shows and movies from your media library. You can switch between them like channels.

If you want to play around with different elevator algorithms, there’s Elevator Saga where you can code your own.

Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I've found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?
