Hi. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I think about this problem too but ended up leaning toward a built-in detection of the Yandex Ads Network. At the time of writing this reply, YAN effectively filters out all bot traffic, which I am certain is 10 to 20 times greater than the total number of human visitors on my website. But I will check out the Django throttle middleware.

Great article and a very solid Django integration for managing Yandex ad blocks. I worked on a related but orthogonal problem — protecting ad impressions from abnormal or invalid traffic (bots, loops, broken integrations). Ended up building a small Django middleware that throttles suspicious ad impressions to reduce the risk of ad network penalties. In practice, tools like this ad manager + traffic protection work best together. https://github.com/frollow/throttle

Notes and records

The first browser extension and bots are dead.

I released my first browser extension, a rather interesting direction for a developer. I'll need to slightly rework the extension storage model on my website so that I can specify different web engines on a single page.
These will mainly be Gecko (the one Firefox uses) and Blink (Chrome and Edge).
Also, the damn VPS on Beget isn't responding to requests from outside Russia. I'll need to move them to other VPS. But hey, it'll give me something to do; Like, I have nothing to do in my life :)

Lately, I've been trying to understand my semantic core. Or rather, part of it. It turned out something like this:
The funniest thing is that the original PNG image weighed 18 megabytes, while this one weighs less than 1 megabyte. That's why it's worth using WEBP today.

About a podcasts and an ads networks

I tried not to push too hard on the site today. The only thing I did was add the ability to add podcasts to the site, which would be hosted directly on the site.
Initially, I planned to use Buzzsprout for podcast distribution, but then I realized that even $20 would be a bit much. So, for now, I'll be storing the podcasts on the server.
I also looked at other ad networks I could work with, preferably internationally. And I found some alternatives to AdSense: Monetag and HilltopAds. The beauty of them for me is that they pay out in Bitcoin, which is quite nice because you don't have to deal with paperwork.

About an SSL and feedback form

  3. I finally fixed the contact form on the website.
That's all for today.

Today I was working on a system for sending emails when accepting payments via BTCPay. It's strange: I can send emails from my local machine without any problems, but when I try to do the same on the production server, nothing works.
I'll be testing other email clients soon, so there may be some email outages in the next 2-4 days.
I also modified the notes section. Now notes work not only through the standard CharField field in the model, but also through a FileField. This means, in practice, the presence of indents, links, fonts, and other markup that was only present in articles and tools.
