Slow Login

[djensen]

@barnee Working on it. You can also check https://x.com/axis_and_allies – if I’m actively working on something, you’ll see it there. Especially if I’m also unable to login.

I think we’re back in business.

Chinese bots hammering the site again.

@djensen These fricking bots, man!

Lately, it’s been a non-bad actor crawling the site: Apple. I set up some rules to slow it down.

@djensen „non-bad“ and „apple“ cannot be put together in a sentence in a syntactically sound way! 😉

@Elrood

hmm … maybe apple and china teamed up or well I guess they did a long time ago lol

Well, was able to finally get on the site. I use 8-10 sites a day and this is the only one that has this problem.

And it has it consistently

:)

Applebot strikes again. I’m rate limiting them more.

[Elrood]

@djensen do you know it’s purpose?

[djensen]

@Elrood Applebot? They’re probably training a foundation AI model. Officially it’s for Siri and Safari.

@djensen oh… “great” :-/
