N CONCLUSION I honestly have no idea how effective this will actually be against AI scraper bots. But right now it's the only weapon I've got besides pulling my presence from places I can't afford to disappear from.

It sucks that we creators have this AI-slop gun to our heads now, but until that bubble finally pops, we gotta do whatever we can to protect our creations. If you've got serious suggestions, I'm all earholes.

8 • GET YOUR AUTHORIZATION CODE Go back to your existing registrar and prepare the domain for transfer. Turn off DOMAIN LOCK and then look for a REQUEST TRANSFER CODE link. Squarespace basically makes you wait a full day before they send that code, so… put a pin in this until it arrives.

9 • ENTER THE CODE Once you get your code, go back to Cloudflare's dash and head to DOMAINS -> TRANSFERS. Check the boxes and hit CONTINUE WITH X DOMAINS at the bottom. On the next page, enter the auth code you received from your old registrar. Pay for the domain and… that's it.

6 • CHANGE YOUR NAMESERVERS Find where your current registrar lets you update your Nameservers and replace them with Cloudflare's. Copy both of Cloudflare's Nameservers and replace your existing ones, save it, and head back to Cloudflare's dashboard. Hit I UPDATED MY NAMESERVERS at the bottom.

7 • THAT'S IT… UNLESS YOU WANT TO TRANSFER Refresh the page after a short wait and you should see a confirmation that you're now protected by Cloudflare. If you want to move the domain registry itself, you'll see a little up-sell banner after you've refreshed. Click START TRANSFER

4 • CHOOSE YOUR PRICING Remember the part where I said it was free? Well on the next page you get to decide how free you want it. They've got enterprise-grade options for things like DDoS protection and whatnot, but the free tier is enough for now.

5 • REVIEW YOUR RECORDS Next step is a little technical, but usually there's nothing to change. Cloudflare checks your DNS settings on your current registrar and imports them. This page shows you what they found and, unless you notice something's wrong, you can just hit CONTINUE TO ACTIVATION

2 • MOVE YOUR DOMAIN OR JUST PROTECT IT Now you have a choice: If you just want Cloudflare to act as an anti-AI proxy but keep your current registrar, hit CONNECT A DOMAIN If you want to switch registrars, hit TRANSFER A DOMAIN. Either way the next step is the same…

3 • CHOOSE YOUR PROTECTION Enter the domain and set your preferences • Whether to allow indexing scrapers so your site ends up in search results • Whether to allow scraping so chatbots can just answer questions based on your content • Whether to allow scraping for training AI models (aw hell no).

it's the start of a new week, and so it's time to start dreaming for the weekend. How does a little bit of Trance sound to start. Then putting a bit of a spin on it with Techno - Trance. And how about topping it off with some Progressive [Bird] House? Sat 10 Oct, 22:00 CEST.

CD's and Cassettes are now available for preorder! Physical media is back, and "Into The Trees" will be available on CD, Cassette, and Vinyl. Vinyl won't be available until November, but CD's and Casettes will be ready to ship when the album launches! Pre-order yours now at avianinvasion.com/merch

So sad that J Ribbon's set got blown away in the #ABGT700 wind. So I paid a little Keytar tribute during last night's live stream! #anjunabeats #keytar #dancemusic

I'm thrilled to announce that my first full-length album, "Into The Trees," comes out on October 2! It's a little love letter to the Pacific Northwest and it's been quite a journey going from concept to a real record. I hope you'll join me for the release!

Man, another idiot label has set their policy to "block everywhere" on YouTube. I wonder if they understand how easily accessible "Remove from Collection" is in Rekordbox.
