🤖 Bot Identification
The traffic you're seeing—5–20 hits per minute, all from China (likely Zhengzhou), using Windows 11 and various Chrome versions with different IPs—matches a known pattern of automated scraping bots that target RSS feed endpoints. These bots often:

Mimic legitimate browsers (e.g., Chrome on Win11)
Rotate IPs and user agents to evade detection
Target RSS feeds due to their structured, frequently updated content
This behavior aligns with bots like RssReaderBot, YandoriRSSBot, or unmarked scrapers tied to AI data harvesting operations.

$How to Block or Mitigate You can reduce or eliminate this traffic with several strategies: robots.txt: Disallow known bot user-agents. User-agent: RssReaderBot Disallow: / .htaccess rules: Block by user-agent string. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (RssReaderBot|Win11.*Chrome) [NC] RewriteRule .* - [F,L]$

What’s happening here? Does this pattern look familiar or suspicious? approx 5 hits / minute to my #RSSEnterprise PHP page that displays Mastodon’s RSS feeds.
All China. All different IPs. All Win11. Various Chrome versions. Likely all from Zhenzhou.
What? Why?

(BTW Is it really necessary to share such lame AI images?)

The entire article is a treasure. I’ve realized that the original core harware and software design team paints a quite different picture of the historic events. Sure, Mac inherited concepts and people from Lisa. But also the Apple II philosophy has played a remarkable role; e.g. save chips to drive down the prise tag.

Jobs: If you read the Apple's first
brochure, the headline was “Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.”
What we meant by that was that
when you first attack a problem it
seems really simple because you
don’t understand it. Then when you
start to really understand it, you
come up with these very complicated
solutions because it’s really hairy.
Most people stop there. But a few
people keep burning the midnight oil
and finally understand the underlying principles of the problem and
come up with an elegantly simple solution for it. But very few people go the distance to get there.

Stebe Jobs (October 1983): If you read the Apple's first brochure, the headline was “Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.”

Cpt Kirk and Spock talk to a computer:
“Computer, | want a complete rundown of all references to the design of
computer systems for Enterprise class ships in the first quarter century of
BYTE magazine.”
“Yes, sir, but are you prepared for recursion?”

#RSSEnterprise – new feature – …&roundrobin merges 2 feeds alternately instead of chronologically.
eg. https://mprove.de/blogs/rss/index.php?rss=hci.social/@mprove&rss2=mastodon.acm.org/@germanchapter&roundrobin

This makes sense b/c no feed is preferred just because of its frequency.

About RSS Enterprise

Before (a)social media, the web used to be social. Each and every Web 2.0 site used to offer its info pebbles also as an RSS feed. RSS (really simple syndication) is a standardized XML format (extensible markup language) that an RSS reader app can import and display. Some of this information infrastructure has survived and can be revived by the web app RSS Enterprise on this page.

The primary use case is Mastodon. But as it turns out, RSS feeds provided by at least BlueSky, tumblr, WordPress, SpeakerDeck, Pinterest, and Wordpress can also be displayed here.

For Mastodon in specific, there are a few special features:

You can click Mastodon tags to load the tag’s content. Try #SciFiEtiquette or #trendytoots
Discover more insights at the tag #RSSEnterprise itself.
You can click a Mastodon user to display her feed.
Try @mprove or @chronohh
You can drag any RSS feed URL from any web page to the cover above and drop it into the river. This does also work for Mastodon users and hash tags, as well as for blogspot, pinterest, substack, and tumblr.
The menu command Edit > Paste of an RSS address is also possible, but less exciting.

Of course, you can always fiddle around with the parameters in the browser’s address bar:

RSS Enterprise parameter info

rss=: The feed url or a dropable blog URL
Support for multiple Mastodon hash tags; e.g. get the combined tags #ComputerHistory #HistoryOfComputers #HistoryOfComputing #chm with this RSS Enterprise link
rss2=: A second feed to be displayed; but no support for multiple tags
roundrobin: Optional parameter to flip-flop between two feeds instead of sorting them chronologically

stay curious – share the links – have fun! Matthias
