Someone is scraping one of the sites I am maintaining; but they are doing it in the silliest way.
Almost no traffic, then just periodically, THOUSANDS OF REQUESTS PER SECOND!
Knocks the site offline every-time it happens. Doesn't even give things a chance to scale.
Then, when the majority of those requests fail, they give up.
The most annoying thing is that all this traffic comes in from a bunch of different IPs, mostly Chinese residential IPs; so blocking known hosting/vpn IPs won't work. Geoblocking probably would work, but I don't want to.
Its public info, if whoever is scraping the site could just use SOME chill I don't think anyone would even care

Analysis: "The Stagecraft That Ushered in the Trump Oligarchy"
"It was a perfectly 2025 mixture of influencers, fighters, billionaires, & bootlickers.

Members of his future cabinet are "the wealthiest collection of bureaucrats ever assembled".

one of the things from a class I took in the military, that has always stuck with me.
Is that Psychological War is ultimately the best form of war. Because when properly applied to a poorly educated poli, they will never know they’re losing. Control is easily maintained and there is no need for force.

I use Meshnet to provide private access to stuff I host that I don’t want on the general interwebs.
Had wondered if the meshnet IPs were statically allocated & couldn’t spot an answer in the docs. Turns out they’re not (explains my access away from home not working the other day), but using the Meshnet device name does work. Replaced my A records with CNAMEs and hopefully that’ll do the job a bit more reliably.
