Rich Felker on Nostr: Got some complaints the #musl git server was sometimes giving errors from too much ...
Got some complaints the #musl git server was sometimes giving errors from too much load. Load caused by abusive LLM scrapers hammering cgit. So I added frontend rules that apply a 10 byte/sec rate limit to client IPs hammering >5 requests per 10 sec for the duration of the hammering. Load average has plummeted. 😈
