We apologize for a period of extreme slowness today. The army of AI crawlers just leveled up and hit us very badly.
The good news: We're keeping up with the additional load of new users moving to Codeberg. Welcome aboard, we're happy to have you here. After adjusting the AI crawler protections, performance significantly improved again.

in reply to Codeberg • • •We have a list of explicitly blocked IP ranges. However, a configuration oversight on our part only blocked these ranges on the "normal" routes. The "anubis-protected" routes didn't consider the challenge. It was not a problem while Anubis also protected from the crawlers on the other routes.
However, now that they managed to break through Anubis, there was nothing stopping these armies.
It took us a while to identify and fix the config issue, but we're safe again (for now).

(It was not the "wildest" moment, but the only for which we have a screenshot)

The AI ballyhoo *is* a real DDoS against one of the few code hosting sites that takes a stand against slurping #FOSS code into LLM training sets — in violation of #copyleft.
Deregulation/lack-of-regulation will bring more of this. ∃ plenty of blame to go around, but #Microsoft & #GitHub deserve the bulk of it; they trailblazed the idea that FOSS code-hosting sites are lucrative targets.
