AI bots are scraping my git server and slowing things down I hate the future so much leave me alone no one uses scheme anyway you're wasting your time
I used https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/blob/main/robots.json to generate some nginx config to block based on user agent and that did the trick for now. fuck off fuckers!
woke up this morning
checked the server logs
more bots! blocked another user agent but there's at least one other that is spoofing their user agent. fuckers!
the remaining 200 requests that I suspect are bots are very low volume, though, so I'm mostly happy for now. also added a /robots.txt in case that helps any somewhat polite bots not send requests in the first place.
@vv@solarpunk.moe@dthompson Sadly my previous statement about them listening to robots.txt seems to not be so true anymore :(
