I just set up a low $ monthly donation to #Wikipedia.
It's not much. It's half a drop in a bucket the size of Alaska.
But I use Wikipedia almost daily (even if the articles themselves aren't always useful, the cited sources are a treasure tribe), and this is something tangible I can do to help preserve truths and facts that fascists don't want any of us to know or remember.

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

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.
