It's crazier than that. I block two entire continents. Don't worry you are not missing anything. There is a link to archive.is that mirrors the page if you are curious.

No they were specifically trying and failing of course to AXFR from the only domains I had added the zeroconf addresses to and shortly thereafter all the scanning went quiet. If they were not skidd…
comment
I like those ideas. If people are truly operating purely through LLM's then I am fine with being partitioned from them. The LLM operators will provide their reality and their truth. This is al…

visibly ravaged by the more shady denizens of the global internet That is both funny, sad and oddly appropriate. Indeed, decades of running forums, chan and chat servers. I came here to take a bre…

Techno-Thriller/Sci-Fi/Mystery novels Nice, I will have to take a look at some point.
comment
For me it's just a fun exercise to see what generalizations I can make about bots that botters can not really avoid or code around such as javascript . Yeah this blog is all precompressed stati…
comment
I can spot them but the feds are working on taking down the biggest residential proxy malware nodes. It's a game of whack-a-mole but I will let them play that game. There are some easy ways to …
comment
Most load balancers will silently drop the real IP address header on the ingress side to avoid exactly what you are describing. That used to be a thing around 2000 - 2001 era. If you find a load …
comment
Didja happen to confirm they were blocked initially They were the reason I started blocking data-centers. I wanted to see if I could block all of their addresses which turned into quite an exercise…
comment
load balancer / proxy, since you need a way to get the real ip If it is at all helpful most layer-7 load balancers have an option to enable a header that contains the real IP address, then one …
comment
I used to log the bots too but there are so many they drown out the humans. I fully expect to block a lot of real humans as many people today use VPN's and most VPN's will egress from a dat…
comment
I disabled blocking for a few hours then crawled several of my pages with their site.
comment
I can accept that. I've sat with RMS a few times. He's an interesting and very smart person. There are things he and I agree and disagree on. I'm sure I would never hear the end of …
comment
Thankyou for the kind words. I am not for everyone which is the way I would like to keep it. I agree there need to be more alternatives to a big centralized MitM caching proxy even if they can be a …

I did not and could not downvote you as you replied to me. Only others can. I have not downvoted any comments on this thread. I appreciate all feedback.
comment
AI will not ingest or operate on anything with obscene or foul terms or at least that is what I have been led to believe.
comment
That makes sense. I block most data-centers and that would include much of Apple's data-centers. What I am doing is of course unorthodox for a blog. This is more of a test site to show what c…
comment
The comments can be misleading. About 2600 people thus far and a few bots have been able to view it. Sunday is the best day to see all the unusual browsers and applications people browse the web w…
comment
Basically a proclamation of incompetence. I understand your frustration. Normally a blog site would not have any or many of these measures enabled. This is more of a test site to show what could…
comment
That's likely from me blocking data-centers as they probably do not have residential exit nodes. There are a couple nftable rules that could block most VPN's as well but they also block som…
comment
This may block schools and libraries Oh, well that is ok for me I suppose. I add RTA/adult headers that hopefully they also look for and block using parental controls as adult content should n…

A guy gets sent to hell. The demons guide him into the lobby. Satan jumps out and lets out a big evil roar to no effect. Satan then glances down and sees the spot on the mans finger where there was…

comment
I would be interested in some examples of valid traffic that they would block. For the purposes of the document I do not consider anything from a data-center to be valid traffic. People can of cours…

When I first experimented with that I was not expecting anything to happen. Within a few days one person in Amazon EC2 in Germany started trying to do zone transfers for some of my domains likely to…

Real browsers send it. [1] Some of the reader apps do not. Most bots aside from those utilizing Chrome Headless do not. People can see a few headers here [2] [1] - https://caniuse.com/…
