I'd be super curious to see what load GitHub was seeing from this. There's a lot of focus on protecting smaller sites (who presumably have less funding) but the amount of redundant network traffic this generates must be quite large for other sites as well.
I'm also still questioning the need for the proxy in the first place.
- notpushkin 4y agoI think GitHub is special-cased somehow.
- arp242 4y agoThe source for the proxy isn't available, but I'd be surprised if this was the case, based on what the Go team has written about this issue. They made some changes to allow excluding sites from refresh traffic in 2021 in response to this issue, but no mention of throttling or anything else. And if GitHub is special-cased, I don't see why any other site can't be special-cased either.
