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...

I look forward to Trump's meeting with Putin and I'm sure that the outcome will be just as fruitful as that time when Trump met with Kim Jong Un and brought resolution and lasting peace to the Korean peninsula.

The biggest danger of learning North Germanic languages like Norsk is realizing that Ikea furniture names are actually pretty dull. Like, did you know that "blรฅhaj" is literally just "blue shark?"

The year is 2025 and I can listen to pretty much any song ever recorded by even the most obscure artist, but I still can't do something as simple as legally buy a book by an award winning Norwegian author ("Tonje Glimmerdal" by Maria Parr). Why is this so messed up?

A small announcement from me that I am now officially able to spend a lot more of my time working on Linux kernel maintainer support duties. It's not a "change of hats," but I will be able to spend a lot more time wearing my maintainer support hat on this year!

New year resolution: I will try to swear less. For example, instead of "holy crap" I will say "deifecation."

creepy_owlet@mastodon.onlineโFailure to comply with lawful orders could mean that Apple would no longer be able to operate an App Store or distribute content in the country,โ #Apple representative said to Reporters without Borders.
"Lawful orders" here refers to the orders of #Russian censorship department. Very similar, I assume to "lawful orders" that send missiles to destroy homes in #Ukraine.
In other (not really) news, Big Tech will do anything for money. Disgusting.
