Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If I'm reading your link right, they are using user agents. Granted there's a lot. Maybe you could whitelist user agents you approve of? Or one of the commenters had a list that you could block. Nginx would be able to handle that.
Thank you for the reply, but at least one commenter claims they'll impersonate Chrome UAs.

Except it's not denying service, so it's just a D.
In the hackernews comments for that geraspora link people discussed websites shutting down due to hosting costs, which may be attributed in part to the overly aggressive crawling. So maybe it's just a different form of DDOS than we're used to.
