Russia's СБП, Dutch iDEAL and Belgian/Luxembourgish Payconiq are the ones I know (iDEAL and Payconiq will also be phased out in favor of Wero, which has already launched in Germany and is supposed to be Europe-wide). Having lived in Russia and the Netherlands, those systems are super convenient and the security benefit of not having to share your details is nice as well.

It's published in a legitimate journal, so it is peer reviewed. "Peer reviewed" doesn't mean the findings of the study are confirmed, it just means a few volunteer experts from the field read the article, didn't find any obvious mistakes or inconsistencies within it, and think it deserves to be in the journal.

If you report a bug or feature request to them, it doesn't take too long to respond or fix it, while Mozilla can leave your report unread for years. In fact, I think there have been multiple cases of Zen patching bugs that were in upstream Firefox for over 10 years.

Also see FoodKeeper by USDA - it only suggests storing olive bar olives for 2 weeks.
They also all assume storage in the fridge, and you say your jar was just standing in the cupboard, so it's probably less than that.
However, those are estimates for the best quality, and the StillTasty page also says this:
The storage time shown for opened olives is for best quality only - after that, the olives' texture, color or flavor may change, but in most cases, they will still be safe to consume if they have been kept continuously refrigerated, the jar or can is undamaged, and there are no signs of spoilage (see below).
How can you tell if opened olives are bad or spoiled? The best way is to smell and look at the olives: if the olives develop an off odor, flavor or appearance, or if mold appears, they should be discarded.
Discard all olives from cans or bottles that are leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented.
So I'm guessing it's very much a "at your own risk" situation. They're way past the suggested best before date, especially since you didn't store them in the fridge - and you did find mold in one of the cans, which means the time and conditions were clearly enough for it to develop. But you also say you didn't find anything strange in the other cans, so they may be safe to eat for now. I wouldn't - but I'm also much more paranoid about food safety than most people out there.
Edit: turns out StillTasty has an email address for food safety questions, so maybe you can ask them as well! Seems like they actually answer them

Now, when the vast majority of web applications, even static ones, are written with components, it makes much more sense to bundle layout, styling and logic together. This is why people like to use things like Tailwind.

You can even probably automate this by serving a page with a button that would send an HTML form request to the server which would then set the cookie using just HTTP header. Haven't tried that but in theory should be pretty easy to implement.
As for search engine scrapers- I imagine you could just pick scrapers who are well behaved / publish the IP ranges that they scrape from
Yeah, although this would unfortunately mean excluding smaller web crawlers from accessing your site. Search scrapers are generally more well-behaved than LLM scrapers and use a consistent User-Agent. Anubis itself actually has a bunch of User-Agent blocking presets of different levels of strictness - maybe you can just use those?

You can even adjust the redirect page to show instructions to NoJS users on how to manually set the cookie in the dev tools, that way they won't have to enable JavaScript at all.
The example in the post is not meant to be a full-featured production solution, for example, you probably also need to add an exception for search engine scrapers if you want your site to be indexed correctly.

I initially tried a simpler solution just setting a cookie with a
Set-Cookieheader, and that didn't stop the bots. It is possible that they're only blocking cookies set through JS - I didn't verify that (I don't know why they would do that though). Those bots are unfortunately a black box and it's hard to test what does and doesn't stop them because the only way is to change the config and then wait for a while to check if any requests come through.
Not gonna lie, if not for this post, I wouldn't have even realized that those posts are all from the same person and would've thought "wow, there are a lot of space news lately". I usually don't look at who posted or wrote something, and either way there are only like 5 usernames at most I recognize here (and half of them are admins)
