Why not block all odd v4 addresses while you're at it? I heard that that can reduce scraping volume by 50%!

- ipaddr 5mo agoBlocking Singapore reduces the AI load 90%.
- ssl-3 5mo agoThat's harder to set up, and also unfair to people who have an odd IP address. It's easier and better to just block 0.0.0.0/1 half of the time, and 128.0.0.0/1 for the other half of the time. Switch every day at noon. Bot traffic will be cut by 50%, and humans are all treated equally! It's a total win!
- tardedmeme 5mo agoAnd blocking ipv6 addresses isn't unfair to people who have an ipv6 address?
- ssl-3 5mo agoYeah, I suppose you're right. Just block it all.
