My goals for this firewall were mostly to provide better robot blocking and perhaps some more powerful DDoS protection than my Raspberry Pi 3 web server is capable of delivering. I still have to do some testing before I will know if my new firewall actually provides either of those, but at least I now have the additional ability to run multiple physical web servers on my LAN. Exploring that should be fun, and fun is a very important component of running a home web server.

Not my article. Just sharing.

I absolutely love the term clankers. It's the perfect blend of dystopian cyberpunk and the very real threat of AI.

It seems goofy to me — I wish we had collectively picked a term with more oomph.

I’m struggling to come up with an alternative though.

I'm still trying to make 'sloppers' happen. Perfectly describes the lack of thought that goes into what they produce.

I like 'sloppers' as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.
