Is there a recommended way to create/implement honeypot links?

I wrote a relatively simple app for an organization a while ago, and I've noticed that in the logs we're getting a lot of recursive requests from the same IP quite often from some paged which contain links to specific information - likely some sort of scraper or web crawler. As the organization is using a pretty basic shared hosting solution I figure it'd probably be prudent to block these IPs to free up resources, even though it doesn't appear to be causing problems at the moment.

For now I'm basically just thinking of having a hidden honeypot link that when followed will block the client's IP for 24 hours - nothing overly sophisticated. The libraries I've found using google all seem to be pretty outdated, so although this is probably simple to implement I thought I'd ask if there was any libraries/resources/best-practices for this that are worth knowing about before half-assing a solution myself.

[D] Anyone having trouble reading a particular paper ? Post it here and we'll help figure out any parts you are stuck on | Anyone having trouble finding papers on a particular concept ? Post it here and we'll help you find papers on that topic [ROUND 2]

Update: working on these now. As mentioned, I won't be able to take anymore paper help questions since the 24 hour period since this has been posted is up, however, I'll still continue for paper find questions since those don't take as much time. Actually, I'll also make an exception to any NLP papers since that's my area of focus.

This is a Round 2 of the paper help and paper find threads I posted in the previous weeks

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/8b4vi0/d_anyone_having_trouble_reading_a_particular/

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/8bwuyg/d_anyone_having_trouble_finding_papers_on_a/

I made a read-only subreddit to cataloge the main threads from these posts for easy look up

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLPapersQandA/

I decided to combine the two types of threads since they're pretty similar in concept.

I'll only be answering questions that were submitted within 24 hours of this being posted (9:30 am PST). Other people will be answering questions too like last time, but since posts are only on the front page for about a day, if you don't post a question within 24 hours you'll probably have to wait until Round 3 of this, which will happen in 2-3 weeks. To follow tentative dates, you can check this subreddit I use to catalog the topics discussed in my paperHelp/paperFind/paperWrite posts.

I'll only be answering questions that follow the format below. The purpose of this format is to minimize the time it takes to answer a question, maximizing the number of questions that'll be answered. The idea is that if someone who knows the answer reads your post, they should at least know what your asking for without having to open the paper. There are likely experts who pass by this thread, who may be too limited on time to open a paper link, but would be willing to spend a minute or two to answer a question.

Best way to design website (just visual stuff)?

Once I've created my website (models, tests, etc), what's the best way to actually design it, in terms of HTML+CSS? Last summer (when I made a django website), I downloaded pre-made HTML pages and edited them to be used as templates in my django site, but I have the feeling that downloaded some HTML files and editing them line-by-line isn't the best way to do things (as in, add static images, design sidebars, etc). I tried downloading a theme-type thing, but it hasn't been updated to Django 2.0, so it won't work.

Edit: essentially, I want to know if there's a way to design WYSIWYG HTML shit (sidebars, generic pages, home pages, etc), that I can download the HTML of so that I'm not hardcoding every bit of HTML

Univarsal manga downloader (for offline reading)

Hello!

I have long thought whether to do this thread on reddit. In the end, I am writing this.


I would like to share my software with you.

If you like manga, it can be useful.

Sometimes it happens that there is no internet on phone or tablet.

This software helps to save all the manga chapters to disk, so you can transfer the files to your phone / tablet.

I will be very glad to the reviews and bugreports.

In the future, it is planned, possibly, gui and server version (web-interface).

Now works only cli.

The software now supports about 240 sites. Full list here: https://yuru-yuri.github.io/manga-dl/#resources-list


**Link on sources: https://github.com/yuru-yuri/manga-dl**


**Supported OS: Linux/Mac/Windows.**


Requires:

* python >= 3.5

(more here [requirements.txt](https://github.com/yuru-yuri/manga-dl/blob/master/requirements.txt) )


Current development status: Beta


Thank you for your attention!


Sorry for my english.

How can I search code into jupyter files directory?

Hello everyone.I want to search python code into jupyter files directory.
For example, I want to search folllowing code:

"csvrows=csv.reader(csvfile,delimiter=',')"

Into the following directory:

|-r/

|-notebooks/

|-notebook1.ipynb

|-notebook2.ipynb

|-...

How can I do that?
I tried jupyter-tree-filter but it doesn't look for jupyter notebooks which are in subdirectories.

[AF] How to sort posts more efficiently?

Hi, so I've been working on a reddit clone, for practice, and was wondering how to sort through posts more efficiently. Here is the code I have now to display posts on the main page:

def index():
posts = Post.query.all()
for post in posts:
post.set_hotness()
posts = Post.query.order_by(Post.hotness).all()
return render_template('index.html', title='Dopenet: You can do anything', posts=posts )

The set_hotness() function mentioned here is in the Posts table, which can be found [here](https://github.com/ModoUnreal/dopenet/blob/master/app/models.py).

I know my method of sorting through posts is highly inefficient and not scalable.

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

[AF] Can't run hello world app with Flask, UnicodeDecodeError

I'm trying to run simple hello world flask app but sockets throws an error on Windows 10, Python 3.6.4

File "D:\Python\Python36-32\lib\socket.py", line 673, in getfqdn:
hostname, aliases, ipaddrs = gethostbyaddr(name)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xab in position 80: invalid start byte
I know I could hack some code in the source of socket.py but I don't want to do that yet. My hostname is "Pitku" so I don't know what text/character is causing the error. Have already tried changing Code Pages but none have worked.

Is there any way to backtrace/fix this error?

package of the day: tqdm

hello and welcome to package of the day, the show where i type a few lines about a package i quite like and would be of use to programmers in a wide variety of contexts

today's package is called "tqdm"

A fast, extensible progress bar for Python and CLI

have you ever written a for loop that iterates over many variables and takes a long time to run?

to track its progress did you just add a print statement inside the loop indicating how far or which variable you're on, producing hundreds if not thousands of lines of text you only look at sparingly?

now you can do better. just import tqdm: `from tqdm import tqdm`

and wrap the structure you're for-ing in the tqdm() function like so: `for i in tqdm(range(10000)):`

now when you run your code, a dynamic progress bar like this one will automatically be generated when you start your loop:

`76%|████████████████████████████ | 7568/10000 [00:33<00:10, 229.00it/s]`

not only will it show you your progress; it'll provide you some simple metrics about how long the loop is taking and will take

try tqdm today!

Is there any jupyter extension to search into jupyter directory by file contents?
