iPod Battery Change - 4th and 5th Gen

Remember when Apple products were easy to service yourself at home? Changed today a battery on the HP-branded 4th Gen iPod Classic and as well on the OG iPod Photo. Their new capacities are 830 and 1300, respectively. Maybe soon I’ll replace the batteries on the U2 variants.

Fun fact: the headphone jack assembly has the serial number “UR FAT”, lol.

Fuck You Google, Retarded Piece of Shit • A Crawling Flood Story

Fuck You Google, Retarded Piece of Shit • A Crawling Flood Story

I think the morons from Google in their great wisdom managed to somehow bash one of the sites I’m hosting on a server and this shit ensued. 2 requests per second towards the homepage using an “?u=RANDOM_NUMBER” parameter. Where does it come from? No idea, maybe Google knows. Meanwhile, I pathed this easily with two lines:

index.php (but if you’re using Wordpress, put it in wp-config.php so it doesn’t get deleted on your next update)

<?php 
	if(isset($_GET['u']) && ($_GET['u'] != '') ) {
		header('HTTP/ 429 Too Many Requests', false, 429);
		echo "Too Many Requests";
		exit;
	}
?>

Before you ask, yes, I triple checked the IP and it is actually Google’s.

Now that I’ve implemented this, and managed to reduce the serving of the pages they were requesting, the server load is down from 14 to 0.4, but the number of requests has increased from 3000 per hour to about 10000 per hour. Thank you, Google! (/s)

Cutest piece of comment spam

I receive some spam comments every now and then either on the article comments or my guestbook, but today I noticed a spam comment that really made me raise an eyebrow. It went something like:

Hello, Neat post. There is a problem along with your website in internet explorer, might check this? IE still is the market chief and a big component of folks will pass over your wonderful writing because of this problem.

I bolded the important part because it really made me laugh out loud. So in the honour of the now defunct Internet Explorer, I leave you with this funny IE ad, in glorious 144p:

Aviator Traveller Collection Watch - AVW3428G110

Got this back in 2013 when I was living in UK, from a charity shop. Paid only £12 for it, and while I know it’s not one of them fancy space watch, I grabbed it because it’s elegant, stylish and functional
