... legacy "Block AI bots" switch is deprecated on 15 September, and mixed-purpose crawlers get folded into it. Googlebot, Applebot and BingBot are in scope. Opting out is one click and the window is 25 days. Sometime in the last two years a lot of us flipped a switch in Cloudflare called "Block

... being waited on, you're underwater and this was never the fire you were told to fight. Both true, from where each of you sits. So the work just hangs in the gap "in progress" on one board, "blocking us" on another. I watched a two-day handoff sit for three weeks once, each side sure the ball was in the other's court. The usual fixes all help, and all quietly break at the same spot: Put every dependency ...

... asks about it. And OAI-SearchBot is the one that decides what shows up in ChatGPT's search answers. The first two visited us. The third has never arrived. Our robots.txt explicitly welcomes it. So this is not a block. Something else was going on, and I found the explanation on OpenAI's own help page, in a section most people never open: "to be included it is important to allow OAI-Searchbot to crawl your site, and ensure your ... ... every tool in this space checks, ours included: does robots.txt allow the bot. The second is that your host or CDN has to actually let those requests through. OpenAI publishes the IP ranges. I fetched the file: 35 address blocks

... staging site scored a decent 74 on mobile, but I knew we could do better. Elementor is highly flexible, but it can load a lot of unused styles and scripts. I noticed that the theme was loading Gutenberg block styles even though we were using Elementor for every page. To improve the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric, I wrote a small PHP snippet to dequeue those unused styles on the frontend. // Dequeue Gutenberg block

... ever built a scraper that worked perfectly in dev and then got blocked or CAPTCHA'd the moment it hit production, you already know the pain. You switch providers, tweak headers, slow down the rate and still, somewhere around request 10,000, everything falls apart. The frustrating part? The IPs weren't even bad. The provider looked solid. But something in your stack was screaming "bot" before the target site even read your first header. After spending way too many ... ... each request stands alone. But if you're logging in, checking out, or paginating through a dashboard, you need a sticky session. Switching IPs mid-login looks like account takeover to modern anti-bot systems, and you'll get blocked

... Because I couldn't follow my own rules. Moving stops. Adding to losers. Revenge trading. 23 violations in one month. $3,200 lost. Tried everything. Journals. Meditation. Accountability partner. None of it worked. So I built TradeForce. It physically blocks me from breaking my rules at the terminal level: Can't move stop-loss after entry Can't add to losing position Can't revenge trade after 2 losses in 30 min Can't trade outside defined session hours ... ... blocks

For context on why I care: I've been building in this space, mostly notifications and approvals for agents, because I got tired of being the slow ... ... making every stop produce a small receipt: what was requested, why the run stopped, what already happened, the exact pending choice, what will happen after approval, and what remains unverified. That gives the three states a mechanical meaning: - Blocked

... built Verlox because Al terminals have a trust problem. They run things, scroll fills the screen, and you're left reconstructing what actually happened, Blocks is my answer https://www.verlox.app . Every command you run becomes its own card with the command, its output, and a quiet line that tells you the outcome in plain English. No digging through scrollback to figure out whether something worked. A few things I'm proud of in this release: Fix this. When a command ... ... fails, one button sends that exact run, the command plus its own output, to the Al and it gets straight to work on a fix. Not "the last thing on screen", the specific block

... native app. The main reason is that my company requires registration for software that's not on the whitelist, and the native app is blocked by an application lock, so using the API is much more convenient. OpenCode At least for now, it's my primary development environment. I also use Cursor , VS

... reach for your team s definitions automatically. Admins can also let the agent propose and save new definitions when it spots a pattern worth keeping around so the SQL your team relies on becomes a real, reusable building block instead of something everyone re-types.

... seconds of unresponsiveness, and the container gets a SIGKILL and a restart. That s a perfectly reasonable default if /health runs on a dedicated thread, or a separate process, or any kind of isolated worker that can t be blocked by application work. It s a terrible default for Node.js, where /health runs on the same event loop as everything else. Our /health handler is a single res.send('ok') call, which is the fastest endpoint we have. But fastest endpoint ... ... takes as long as the pause, including /health. So a 5-second GC pause didn t just make a request slow, it made /health slow, and 3 of those in a row got kubelet to kill the pod. The blocked

... just a $MESSAGE string, it tells you something happened but not whether the agent finished clean, got blocked, or what it changed. It's a doorbell. It rings the same whether it's a package or a fire. That's basically the gap Pushary fills, same hook idea you've already wired, but the event carries a real handoff (done vs

... sites have specific directives for ChatGPT-related bots. The other 81% treat AI agents like traditional bots, applying outdated rules that limit how effectively their content can be surfaced . Here is what Jim Yu said: "If you block or fail to optimize for these agents, you're not blocking

I'm literally chatting like I would with a coworker: The favicon should be circular on the profile page. Block signups from disposable email domains.

... kept reaching for blockers, then opening YouTube and getting sucked into Home or Shorts anyway. So I built Monk Mode for Mac. It blocks the specific feeds that wreck attention, like YouTube Home, Shorts, X For You, Reddit front pages, and similar infinite scroll surfaces, without forcing you to quit the whole app. That was the difference I wanted myself. I still need YouTube for specific videos and X for links. I just do not need the feed trying ... ... hour.

It blocks the parts that usually pull me into a 45 minute detour: - YouTube Home - YouTube Shorts - X For You - Reddit front pages - other feed surfaces That was the whole point for me. I still wanted search, specific videos, direct links, and intentional use. Just not the infinite slot machine. It is a native ... ... lifetime.

... Most blockers make you quit YouTube, Reddit, or X completely. That never stuck for me because sometimes I need the product, just not the feed. So I built Monk Mode for Mac. It blocks the parts that trigger autopilot scrolling: - YouTube Home - YouTube Shorts - X For You - Reddit front pages - other feed surfaces The goal is simple: keep the utility, remove the slot machine. It is a $15 lifetime app for macOS. If you have fought this problem yourself ...

... everyone, I built a free, private, offline focus app that uses Apple Intelligence to understand what you're actually doing. I was fed up with focus apps that just block a list of websites. I find that blocklists are too "blunt", for example, I could genuinely be using YouTube to research something, but a blocklist sees " youtube.com " and immediately blocks
