If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.

To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.

Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.

This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.

    How to be a dragon ? Asking for a friend (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) —

    A four panel comic: 1. A stick-human is drawn with the red text "❌! Character is not a dragon" on top with an arrow pointing the human. A dragon is poking their head from the left side 2. The dragon is fully visible, and grabbing the human. The text says "STEP 1: Grab Firmly" 3. The dragon pulls on both sides of the human, transforming it into a dragon. It looks surprised. The text says "STEP 2: Pull!" and a few texts say "Fwoosh!" and "<<<Yank!" 4. The old dragon makes a "blep" and a thumb-up, the post-tf dragon is looking amazed, with a radial rainbow around its head and a text saying "(post-TF euphoria)" and the main text, now green, saying "✔️✔️✔️ Fixed!"

    Big update: The Internet Archive has launched a new version of GifCities, the search engine for vintage GeoCities GIFs. It's now easier to explore the glitter, chaos, and charm of early web animation.

    Search better. Share better. Blink more.

    @rail_ That is definitely not a stupid behavior to not load SSH keys in your agent by default.

    @rail_@bark.lgbt avatar rail_ , (edited ) to random

    okay i am properly fucking confused, is it a Debian thing or what

    after generating an ssh key on Debian i run into a problem of having to manually eval ssh-agent, and even after i do that, it doesn't load ~/.ssh/id_* keys automatically, i need to ssh-add them manually

    what the hell

    i never had this problem before

    edit: it was Debian L

    Soblow ,
    @Soblow@eldritch.cafe avatar

    @rail_ Errr that is something I have on any distro, by default ssh-agent isn't started

    Soblow ,
    @Soblow@eldritch.cafe avatar

    @rail_ In my case on Arch+Sway, I have a systemd unit to start ssh-agent and I use keepassxc to store the keys password

    Soblow ,
    @Soblow@eldritch.cafe avatar

    @rail_ That is logic?
    You may have several keys to access the same server which may point to different user (for example github.com)
