On a much smaller scale, if anyone is interested, I maintain a black list focused on those code snippet content farms that gets in the way when you're searching for some error message or particular function here https://github.com/jhchabran/code-search-blacklist.

I'll be honest, I don't remember how I came to that conclusion but I suspect I encountered an unsatisfactory answer to a question I was looking to answer, saw the .biz and drew my conclusions.
The noise to signal ratio for most of my queries is so high that I have to start judging a book by its title, not even its cover.
The .biz definitely does not help, since it hints to me that it's just another one of those worthless reposting sites, as someone else commented below.
When I see your site pop up in my search results I know the content is going to be more reliable than most of the others. Thanks for the effort you've put into it.
Glad you said something though, I wouldn't have looked at it twice without a human attestation.
That doesn't really intersect with my observation in any way though. As a stranger I don't see your intent when I see your website, I just see your website.
The other comment made me remember there was captcha too, right? I had been using my own rented server as a VPN for all my internet access. But I'd have never blocked it for a public list - I've read the 'about me' page.
That's really frustrating. I'm building a faster search engine for programming queries and just added your site cyberciti.biz as a recommended and curated source of Unix/Linux material. Hope more devs get aware of your work and you (and your collaborators) receive the credits deserved. Thanks for your work of many years.
