zeynep and punk got 10s of multi-typed requests over multiple days, differs from what happened just now, 1-3 requests with human-like response
no, it's the same thing. I got some 10 messages during a day or so. I said 'bot' but I think it's actually a person.
we could collect them all, and their ips and timestamps,
I stand corrected. I thought I got the messages during one day, because I found them all when I first checked my mail that day, but here are the timestamps
Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:22:39 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:25:03 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:25:52 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:26:42 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:27:39 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:27:52 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:28:47 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:29:57 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:30:50 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:36:03 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:36:04 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:37:26 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:40:18 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:40:33 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:40:43 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:40:44 -0700 Date: Fri, 06 May 2022 13:45:12 -0700
So I got 17 messages during 20 minutes. Not sure it that was automated or not then...
and then ask the
universe whether it would rather we profile the sender's hours of activity from the timestamps, or wrap them with ribbons like a bouquet and present them as a gesture of appreciation :)
gnuplot A lone request, then about 1/minute except for #s 5-6 which are 13 seconds apart, then occasional requests over the next few minutes. be helpful to compare with other data. Here are my scripts roughly. Usually you might make something in a full-blown language rather than this. # date lines in a file called "dates", converted to seconds and indices in "ts.dat" { start=$(date --date="Fri, 06 May 2022 13:22:00 -0700" +%s) index=0 echo 0 0 sed 's/Date: //' dates | while read date do echo $(($(date --date="$date" +%s)-start)) $index index=$((index+1)) done } > ts.dat # gnuplot gnuplot> set term pngcairo gnuplot> set output "chart.png" gnuplot> plot "ts.dat" title "Request Index/Seconds" with steps I started with https://github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph but it seemed the extra detail of gnuplot was worthwhile.
