    The answer I can very helpfully give this blog post is "Abusive Scrapers"

    I'm not trying to block AI, that's a battle I am sure as shit not going to win.

    But naive scrapers that absolutely demolish my website?

    Works a treat.

    And I'm sorry it's come to this because yeah, it fucking sucks. It's repulsive. But it's also necessary.

  6. Fediverse server behind Anubis

    There's a lot of scrappers and bots trying to get access to fedi posts and media all the time.

    My CDN balance was running out quickly due to bots downloading media over and over again.

    Then I installed Anubis and things are better now. It isn't a silver bullet, as some bots have enough resources to beat the challenge (like the ones from Tencent), but it's better than nothing and I don't need to resort to Cloudflare's basket.

    If you're interested in protecting your fedi server, here's a starting point: blogs.gayfr.social/barbapulpe/

    I know that many people are against using Anubis, but now there's lighter JS challenges (preact) or no JS at all (metarefresh). Soon there should be TLS fingerprinting and other things available too.

    Anyway, this post is for those who see Anubis as an option. If you don't, there's still Fail2Ban, blocklists and the like. Be safe out there!

  11. I found Anubis to be incredibly effective at relieving my server from the endless harassment from AI scrapers, but the Anubis documentation was bad and wrong. So I wrote a new guide to configuring Anubis with nginx.

  16. ✅️ Migrated another #WordPress site to #Hugo.

    1️⃣ I only post photos with no text, so it was cumbersome to create single WordPress posts for each photo.

    2️⃣ Hugo has a way to loop through a directory, so now I simply loop through a folder with 2000 photos and print <img> with loading lazy.

    😨 My self-hosted #Gitea instance had a moment of panic as it couldn't handle a commit with 700 Mb in assets. But it's all good now.

    🤖 I've also added #Anubis in front.

  21. 😩 Had a hard time finding resources online to help me build a useful #Grafana dashboard for #Anubis

    ✅️ I've added protection to 3 sites

    🤔 Not 100% happy, I will continue to play with this.

  26. I've made #Anubis work for one of my sites as a test run with #Docker and a fine tuned #NGINX config:

    What I'm having trouble with is setting the bot protection policy to be more "difficult" (higher setting than the default 2) without losing the default policies that come out of the box 🤔
