Anubis + BadBotBlocker + fail2ban was sufficient to stop almost ALL scraping and stupid bots. I added some rate limits as well that stopped some of the more niche bots.
Of course, I'd be surprised if notabug didn't implement all this. I'm sure they're far more savvy than noobs like to to protect their site.
I'm just afraid that they might be pushed into using Cloudflare or other such centralised services.
Where did you implement ? How did you add rate limits ? And you said "almost all", who are those you can't block ? Of course, you share if you want to. I don't mind. Thanks.
What are the best ways to support such projects? We absolutely need diversity of projects and infrastructure. It should be a big lesson that putting everything into one single repo site is Not A Good Idea.
They probably have a donation link.
Would Anubis help here?
Yes, but something wrong here they are down since 2023
Oh, that almost feels abandoned at that point.
It's happening... just as I warned... We're only going to see these attacks exponentially proliferate, everywhere. The smallest will be totally unprepared, and the next ones up the ladder, barely; etc.
