<p>Elastic/Opensearch uses GET requests with a body for search, which is complicated or forbidden (not exactly sure) with the HTTP spec. Not all HTTP clients are willing to submit a body with a GET.<p>So opensearch also allows you to POST search requests, but those are uncacheable<p>QUERY would fit here perfectly - it's probably trivial for opensearch to add but it will take some time for clients to catch up.</p>

<p>> But I like this review of techniques, even the simplest ones are very effective, that surprised me.<p>because harvesters don't care until one technique gets massive use. if you come up with a unique but simple enough scheme for your sites and keep a few dozen email addresses out of their reach.. they've still gathered a million addresses. it's not really worth their effort to get the last 0.0001% of extra email addresses<p>so it's best to just not advertise your solution and make sure it doesn't get n
any outside traction - if it gets popular the harvesters will defeat it</p>

<p>I think the 'K-thing' was a big and helpful part of getting early volunteers onboard to build apps for KDE. They really seemed to enjoy rebuilding existing applications into a K-version.<p>So I guess you just have to live with it, but consider it a way to honor the original contributors who build all the K(DE)-versions of the common apps</p>

<p>Exactly this. Don't look at the renewal proces, look at its output. It'll work for all certificate sources and catch other potential errors too (eg the webserver reporting success but not presenting the new certificate)</p>

<p>Can't remove a certificate from the revocation lists until it's expired, leading to boundless growth of those lists.<p>Risk of private keys/certificates from old backup media being leaked (remembering the adobe password leak...) and then suddenly coming back online and working until someone figures out how to revoke them</p>

<p>> Also, the prices may become more sustainable if LLM providers find ways to inject ad revenue into their products.<p>I'm sure they've already found ways to do that, injecting relevant ads is just a form of RAG.<p>But they won't risk it yet as long as they're still grabbing market share just like Google didn't run them at the start - and kept them unobtrusive until their search won.</p>
