Recently a new extortion scheme targeting webmasters has emerged from the black/gray industry, and even Baidu is powerless against it — no fix yet. Today I'm exposing how it works from a technical angle.
Fellow webmasters: on November 30, 2023, Baidu's webmaster platform revoked all [Quick Index] and [sitemap] submission privileges. For the record: the revocation has nothing to do with using my [webmaster push tool]. See Baidu Search Resource Platform's December 1, 2023 announcement.
On November 19, GitLab JiHu published 'Notes on GitLab.cn SaaS feature adjustments': all accounts will be set to a 90-day trial. If a user doesn't upgrade to a paid plan (Premium or Ultimate) within the free 90 days, the account will be barred from logging into the SaaS when the trial ends. User data won't be deleted immediately — it will be retained for three years, then permanently deleted.

Gabon's National Agency for Digital Infrastructures and Frequencies (ANINF) announced that from June 7, 2023, it is taking back the .ga registry from Freenom, and free .ga domains registered through Freenom will be forcibly reclaimed.
Freenom may be an unfamiliar name, but the free .tk/.ga/.ml/.cf/.gq domains certainly aren't. Freenom is the registry operator behind them, offering free domain registration that's recommended all over the internet. Well — today, it's in trouble.
This post covers generating marketing materials with Grounded-SAM on Amazon SageMaker for the e-commerce advertising industry: 1/ code-free image editing with ControlNet's Canny model, and 2/ code-driven image editing with Grounded-SAM (Grounding DINO and Segment Anything). Compared with the previous version, this solution adds ControlNet model support and the new US West (Oregon) region.
github.renfei.net used to fully proxy GitHub pages to work around slow GitHub access from Mainland China. But the service ran into problems, so it no longer proxies full pages — only specific files.
