A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It's impossible, i got this instance to just see lemmy from my own instance, but no, it was slow as hell the whole week, i got new pods, put postgres on a different pod, pictrs on another, etc.

But it was slow as hell. I didn't know what it was until a few hours before now. 500 GETs in a MINUTE by ClaudeBot and GPTBot, wth is this? why? I blocked the user agents, etc, using a blocking extension on NGINX and now it works.

WHY? So google can say that you should eat glass?

Life is now hell, if before at least someone could upload a website, now even that is painfull.

Sorry for the rant.

You can either use Cloudflare(proprietary) or anubis (Foss)

Don't do this

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Why?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Because it harms marginalized folks' ability to access content while also letting evil corp (and their fascist government) view (and modify) all encrypted communication with your site and its users.

It's bad.

For clarity, you are referring to Cloudflare and not anaubis?
