@djensen I just test posted. Seems ok. Thank you.
Bot Attacks
-
would it be possible to look for the 3-4 hours most people are on and have the bots auto block during that period ?
-
Thank you for the heads up DJ.
-
@barnee The bots are supposedly being auto-blocked but a lot get still get through. I’m working through some solutions. For now, I’m going to keep on “Under Attack Mode” while I’m “away” from the site not working on the problem.
-
Wow I just was able to get on again :) Can you create your own Bot Army to attack them :)
The inverse of what I mentioned above, would be too shut all bots down, except for the 3-4 hours of lowest user times.
Idk if you can automate that though. But yea, it’s pretty rough. Maybe have a Bot day once a week where they can nutup and shut them down otherwise.
If people can’t access the site, Bot advertisement isn’t gonna make a difference :)
Just some thoughts
P
lol and now 503 won’t even let me post this. I’d turn those bots off until you find a solution

@barnee NodeBB got slammed hard so I hard to reboot. The timing of your message is roughly around when that happened.

Agreed. That’s why I’m going to keep “Under Attack Mode” on. If you see some slowness or traffic spike or don’t see the CloudFlare, you know I’m either working on it or trying something.

Right Arm
I hope I didn’t come across too negative. I didn’t mean to :(
You’re a smart Guy :) You’ll get it sorted :)
-
@barnee Not at all. :-)

thank you sir!

What does the following error mean and why does it happen so frequently recently? It sometimes shows when trying to access the site and I keep getting it for like 15 minutes before the site loads again.

FFS, it’s getting worse. It seems like all the countries in the world are attacking the site.
This is a 22 minute snapshot:

@VictoryFirst It’s because of the bot attacks on the site. The AI crawlers are effectively DDOSing the site taking it down. However the thing that prevents this also prevents TripleA from working.

thanks for all you do.

@crockett36 Thanks I appreciate it. It feels like I’m playing a war game with these stupid bots.
Me: turn off Singapore, China, and Brazil
Bots: hmmm
Me: Phew it looks like it’s getting bett…
Bots: Launch Agentina, Vietnam, Mexico, Chile, Japan, …
Me: <censored>
