The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 โ a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

cloudflare caused a fun bug for april fool's day! ๐ช
due to an overly proactive filter rule intended to block a vulnerability in apache camel, cloudflare's WAF policy overzealously blocked innocent URLs containing the word "camel". this meant that certain packages could no longer be installed from NPM, some stackoverflow pages with "camel" in the title could not be loaded, etc.

Coalition may rethink rules that push car-makers to create cheaper EVs and hybrids for Australians
Opposition says Laborโs national vehicle emission standard is โpoorly designedโ, despite data showing uptick in green vehicle sales.
...More than 120 electric vehicles are now available in Australia as the new laws upend the nationโs status as a โdumping groundโ for big, polluting cars. Prior to January Australia was the only OECD country without a vehicle emission standard.
The obsession with big cars is not only fuelling the climate crisis, it is making roads deadlier and adding to traffic congestion. And there are other costs โ Australians spend on average almost $100 a week on fuel.. .

Ditch Proprietary Reminder Apps, Try Tasks.org Instead
Stay organized with Tasks.org, an open source to-do and reminders app that doesn't sell your data.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
currently using this with a CalDAV back end and it's pretty good, I wish there were fewer options though.
if I ever get to the point of doing Android development I'd be tempted to fork it and make a "simple" version that does what I want (replicate Google reminders in a way that's compatible with a CalDAV back end) and nothing else. add it to the list I guess...
