I can finally get some sleep now. Don't worry if the page preview doesn't work. It's the Anubis proof-of-work challenge messing it up.

Cookies and Javascript are also required, because #Clankers ruined that too!

Enough is ENOUGH!

Enough is ENOUGH!

I have HAAAD IT with these motherfuckin' CLANKERS on my motherfuckin' SITE!

with all their stupid DDoS attacks and shit..

Downward Spiral

...and maybe now they can GET BENTLEY!

I hope they drop the soap.

Seriously though. It peaked at over 2500 requests per minute (my server couldn't handle any more), and it came from over 100,000 IP addresses?!?!?

#DDoS #AI #Scrapers #Clankers #APTs #WTF #Cybercrime

Banned IP address graph from my server's Grafana dashboard. Over 100,000 IP addresses banned due to malicious scraping activity.

Above the graph, there is requests per user agent. It was much higher, peaking at about 2400 requests per minute. Notice how these are all generic browser agents. Almost all of these are actually AI scrapers spoofing their user agents.

@alice-pea-3526.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Sep 26, 2026, 7:21 AM

I'm gonna have to increase the minimum ban duration.

2,400 requests per minute is not normal for a small blog!

I need a way to get these #Clankers to financially compensate me for the extra cost they incur on my web hosting.
