Me: "the Swedish Chef" is a parody. Scandinavian languages don't sound like that.

Remember the old adage "It isn't true until the Kremlin officially denies it"? You now can safely replace "Kremlin" with "Trump administration" and you're still right, IMHO.

I shudder to think how many mindless site crawlers $500 billion can fund.

@smxi @corbet we're kinda trying to tell you that a single IP will hit 2-3 times an hour or so. You can't do behavioural analysis over 3 hits. They request 2-3 specific URLs with generic browser client strings and then aren't seen again. But multiply this by tens of thousands of IPs all coming from different subnets and you have a problem.

A followup for folks who are curious about the whole AI botswarm problem...
Some of these bots are clearly running on a bunch of machines on the same net. I have been able to reduce the traffic significantly by treating everything as a class-C net and doing subnet-level throttling. That and simply blocking a couple of them.
But that leaves a lot of traffic with an interesting characteristic: there are millions of obvious bot hits (following a pattern through the site, for example) that all come from a different IP. An access log with 9M lines as over 1M IP addresses, and few of them appear more than about three times.
So these things are running on widely distributed botnets, likely on compromised computers, and they are doing their best to evade any sort of recognition or throttling. I don't think that any sort of throttling or database of known-bot IPs is going to help here...not quite sure what to do about it.
What a world we have made for ourselves...

@major I'm going to be a voice of dissent and will say that, from my experience, this isn't very effective as an immersion strategy and just leads to subconsciously associating the language you're learning with frustration. I found reading children's books aimed at younger readers to be the best way to build vocabulary and get familiar with sentence structures and common turns of phrase. But, YMMV. :)

@SimonRoyHughes Ingen tvil om det, men det er steg 10 på min reise for å lære norsk, mens jeg fortsatt er på steg 3 eller 4. :)

Å nei, jeg fikk endelig boken jeg bestilte fra Norge, bare for å oppdage at den er på nynorsk. Jeg kan lese den, men det kommer til å ødelegge rettskrivningen min. :/
