@waifu @gray No it's really easy you can just use the docker config the website mentions that's what I do
I'd look to see if you're being scraped first which all you have to do is check the server logs the regular AI people will add whatever company they are to their agent, the freak ones pretend to be regular browsers

@gray Yes. It like anything else has tradeoffs but I would pick an annoying page over a website not working because of resources wasted on training more AI models no one wants

@gray It's a firewall that attempts to discourage AI crawling and other assorted Denials of Service by hiding most websites behind a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge like anything behind Cloudflare or the Kiwi Farms does nowadays.
As someone whose git instance got bombarded by crawlers so hard it eventually stopped working I added it because it was less absolute than dropping an entire IPv4 /8, and ever since the AI slurping either stopped or slowed down to a level that it doesn't make the server give up on serving anything. Crawlers are super annoying especially the ones that don't respect any time, resource or crawling restraints

@kaia I agree, I find it hard to believe people are actually that stupid

@kaia Every time I feel bad about myself I go to Caleb Hammer's, the guy whose YouTube page the clip is from, channel and watch the people that voluntarily show up that still manage to exist everyday and stop feeling bad because I'm nowhere near the bottom in comparison

people pay to look at stolen memes… I'm on the wrong platform
