I've ended up only using inline generative AI completions to do programming when I'm either on a strict deadline or making a demo for a conference/meetup talk. Otherwise I limit myself to pasting in/out of a chat window.

It's more like "forge place" in the same way that kafejo (cafe) is "coffee place".

It's forward confirming reverse DNS. I assumed that everyone does that by default.

Randomly selected IPs from my logs show that 80% of them have the matching that forward confirming reverse DNS domain. The most aggressive ones were from the amazonbot domain. Believe what you want though. Search for `xeiaso.net` in ticketi

Honestly, I figure that being on the front page of Hacker News like this is more than shame enough to get a human from the common sense department to read and respond to the email I sent politely asking them to stop scraping my git server.

Thanks!

Gitea in particular is a worst case for this. Gitea shows details about every file at every version and every commit if you click enough. The bots click every link. This fixed cost adds up when hundreds of IPs are at different levels of cli

I'd love it if Amazon could give me some AWS credit as a sign of good faith to make up for the egress overages their and other bots are causing, but the ads on this post are likely going to make up for it. Unblock ads and I come out ev

FWIW that includes other scrapers, Amazon's is just the one that showed up the most in the logs.

That's what I'm working on right now.

I'd do that, but my DNS is via route 53. Blocking AWS would block my ability to manage DNS automatically as well as certificate issuance via DNS-01.

Changing the status code didn't help. I eventually just withdrew the server from the internet.

The website that you were pummeling is in the article: git.xeserv.us. I sent an email earlier today and have gotten no response. Right now your crawler bots are getting the bee movie script, so you may want to delete all the data that'

It's actually slightly worse. That vultr node is a reverse proxy over wireguard to my homelab.

3Ti of egress and climbing, I'm in the hole financially and it's making my personal infra that relies on it unstable.

I moved over from Twitter to Bluesky with the big wave (I've been using it since mid-2023 however). It's everything I've wanted from the community to the engagement. What's more, I'm not punished for linking to my b
