Short version: Two seperate "vibe-coders" used Claude to create an app--which turned out identical. And then the coders went after each other.

You can't tell me what to do!

Originally slated to be de-listed after 9 August, now extended to at least October.

melonDualDS has been around for a while (the first release, 0.0.1, was released back in June of last year) and is described as a Nintendo DS and DSi emulator for Android, built on top of melonDS and the melonDS Android port by rafaelvcaetano. Developed by Sapphire Rhodonite, it was recently updated to version 0.7.0 over the weekend, introducing major changes you should know about if you're interested in the DS emulation space.

Conclusion

Over time, SSH Tarpits have continued to be less effective per-connection. The rates at which they see connections has increased, but bots increasingly enforce client-side timeouts and don't remain stuck for very long.

Until mid-last month, my LLM maze was serving a pretty significant number of requests each day. About 0.1% of requests came with a crawler willing and able to execute javascript: a tiny minority but still a fun one to play with.

I haven't been collecting stats for long enough to say for sure, but it seems reasonable to speculate that the trail-off in maze requests is probably a sign of one (or more) AI companies finishing their training run and preparing to release new models.

It'll be interesting to see whether activity picks back up over the next few months.
