ProcessOne: Stop Telling Us XMPP Should Use JSON
We hear this too often: “XMPP uses XML. It should use JSON—it’s more modern.”
The logic seems straightforward: JSON came later, so it must be better. But better for what, exactly?
JSON became successful because it’s the standard serialization format for JavaScript. That made it convenient for browser-based applications.
Does that m … ⌘ Read more

I just noticed this pattern:

And regarding those broken URLs: I once speculated that these bots operate on an old dataset, because I thought that my redirect rules actually were broken once and produced loops. But a) I cannot reproduce this today, and b) I cannot find anything related to that in my Git history, either. But it’s hard to tell, because I switched operating systems and webservers since then …
But the thing is that I’m seeing new URLs constructed in this pattern. So this can’t just be an old crawling dataset.
I am now wondering if those broken URLs are bot bugs as well.
They look like this (zalgo is a new project):
https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/
When you request that URL, you get redirected to /git/:
$ curl -sI https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 06:13:51 GMT
Server: OpenBSD httpd
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 510
Location: /git/
And on /git/, there are links to my repos. So if a broken client requests https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/, then sees a bunch of links and simply appends them, you’ll end up with an infinite loop.
Is that what’s going on here or are my redirects actually still broken … ?

Let me add some spaces to make it more clear:
uninformativ.de 201.218.xxx.xxx - - [22/Nov/2025:06:53:27 +0100] "GET /projects/lariza/multipass/xiate/padme/gophcatch HTTP/1.1" 301 0 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

Some IP (from Brazil) requests some (non-existing, completely broken) URL from my webserver. But they use the hostname uninformativ.de, so they get redirected to www.uninformativ.de.
In the next step, just a second later, some other IP (from Nepal) issues an HTTP proxy request for the same URL.
Clearly, someone has no idea how HTTP redirects work. And clearly, they’re running their broken code on some kind of botnet all over the world.
