I believe tiddlywiki stores PNGs as base64 strings, so image is always there.

Yes, the file can grow large with many images, but it's a single file containing everything... even scripting!

It would be super cool if we could see any screenshots of HN admin/manager, yes?

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Friday October 25, 2024 @12:47AM (#41942302)

Out of curiosity, I checked and got bot hits from 20k+ unique IPs just in the last 10 days... Can easily set up bot IP lookup API...

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Thursday October 24, 2024 @02:36AM (#41932587)

Actually, I did take some content from wikipedia regarding HEX/RGBA/HSL/etc colors and stuff it all together into one big variable. Then, on each sub-page reload I generate random content via Markov chain function, which outputs semi-readable content that is unique on each reload.

Not sure it helps in SEO though...

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @02:54PM (#41928199)

Hey, maybe you are right, maybe some stats on which bots from how many IPs have how many hits per hour/day/week etc...

Thank's for the idea!

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @08:50AM (#41924543)

Yes, each possible 6^16 outcome is it's own subpage...

/000000 /000001 /000002 /000003 etc...

Or am I missing something?

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @07:46AM (#41923973)

6 positions, each 0-F value gives 6^16 options, yes?

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @07:27AM (#41923869)

99.9% of traffic are bots...

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @07:04AM (#41923774)

Yeah, each generated page has link to ~20 "similar" colors subpage to feed the bots :)

Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @07:03AM (#41923771)

You mean adding 2 hex values at the end of the 6-notation to increase number of sub-pages? I love it, will do :)

Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots

from the ask-hn dept.

Last year, just for fun, I created a single index.php website calculating HEX colors to RGB. It takes 3 and 6 digit notation (ie. #c00 and #cc0000) and converts it to RGB value. No database, just single .php file, converting values on the fly.It's little over a year old and now every day there's 60k-100k bots visiting and crawling the shit out of two-trillion-something sub pages...I am out of...
