Just yesterday there was a comment here on HN [1] about https://jsonip.com https://jsonip.com, which is essentially supported by a single person (all operational costs included) and gets abused in a somewhat similar manner. I am not even sure what to think: do the folks not understand what they do, or are they just bluntly ignorant of it?

- raverbashing 3y ago> o the folks not understand what they do, or are they just bluntly ignorant of it? They don't care. And yes I've heard stories of people "finding a service" that does something basic and just dumping their whole traffic onto it (of course they play the victim once they're found out)

- marginalia_nu 3y agoYeah I'm getting this shit too with Marginalia Search. I'm getting about 2-2.5M queries per day that are definitely from bots that would 100% sink my server if they somehow go through the bot mitigation. It peaks at hundreds of search queries per second. To be clear these are search queries, and search queries typically trigger disk reads of about ~10-20 Mb. I get about 20,000 queries per day that may be human.

- marginalia_nu 3y agoI'm on my home connection. Not really anywhere near saturating it.
