The year is 2026, somehow peoples basic web apps are not able to keep up with scrapers. Scrapers are not new. My side load is like .01 even with 10x the traffic of last year. It's called "serving static content", "caching" and many other things that are not new concepts.

Then you've got good old cloudflare which is free to use

All these experts here in advanced computing but people don't know how to cache with webpages?
Are you volunteering to setup and host that extra complexity for the Gentoo project?
A bugtracker is inherently dynamic.
