Got tired of AI scrapers, changed the visibility of all the repos in my Forgejo instance to private. Was starting to bog down my home router.

Next up, either setting up Anubis for the blog, which is only feeding scrapers at the moment. Or maybe just take the whole thing down too.

What a time for small web and open source.

@oranki I definitely see what you mean, I had a few outages orchestrated by big clouds scrapping/ddosing my servers sometime last year

But then I tuned Anubis in front, and I barely see any meaningful request now

I think it’s really worth it keeping things open, but protecting ourselves against bad actors :)
