+:summary: An experiment in spam
+
+A while back I saw an interesting project, `Patchbay <https://patchbay.pub/>`_.
+At first I wanted to use it when I run long tasks on remote machines (as the
+example shows). I would obviously script the desktop part, commit it to my
+`rcfiles repo <https:/www.shore.co.il/git/rcfiles>`_ and have it run on startup.
+As a security/ privacy concern, I plannedd on keeping the full URL private. So
+I shelved it until I would have a proper secret management system in place for
+such things.
+
+A few months went by and I remembered that project and started to play around
+with receiving such messages but sending them from a webpage. The outcome is
+`shore.co.il/spam <https://www.shore.co.il/spam>`_. I'm annnouncing this on my
+blog as I'm actually interested to see if I get any spam this way. The desktop
+side of things is in this `rcfiles commit
+<https://www.shore.co.il/git/rcfiles/commit/?id=b9732647fe865e9fc7c225b26adb6275ee435a94>`_
+and the source for web page is in my `blog commit
+<https://www.shore.co.il/git/blog/commit/?id=b99513ebadc5f39c77d109597804b76b79e5a2c0>`_,
+both are quite public.
+
+There isn't something technically interesting here (apart from Patchbay). But
+the experiment aspect is interesting to me. I would like to see who reads my
+blog and will send me messages (hopefully interesting ones). I'm not going to
+advertise this in any other way. And I would like to see if I get any spam as a
+result of this blog entry or from having the URL public in my Git repos. I'll
+post an update in a few weeks with initial results.
