I’ve added jenny.nya.pub, fun.with.kyun.li, and red.computersforpeace.net to our instance blocklist.

You’ve reminded me I should donate again, its been a while… though one small correction, O- is not the most common at all. It makes up under ~10% of the population as a rule: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/blood-types

Another web scraping bot blocked.

So this is still going on now. I’ve expanded the block to catch more of the dodgy traffic.

Not from Australia.

IP? No. Country, ASN and user agent? Yes. Which now will receive a captcha.

Probably both this and cloudflare caching. Looks like I set CF to cache for 1 year at some point, I can lower it… but that won’t “fix” this, only limit the time its an issue for.

Yes, and that has put a smile on my face.

Saying this is not racist. It’s not “neo-Nazi” views. You claim it is as an excuse to be intolerant towards those people. No matter how you try to sugar coat it, you are being intolerant.

We’ve now caught up with LW, should stay in sync barring any issues or massive growth in activities from LW:

Ha just finished watching a movie and was going to post this, you beat me :)

Still on track to be caught up late tomorrow :)

At the rate we’re catching up, I think we’ll be all caught up Saturday some time:

It’s a simple tick box in the admin settings interface. Trivially easy to enable, and presumably disable. Doesn’t appear to even require a service restart.

It’s not so much about cost, but impact on user experience when the server is busy serving non-logged in users.

It’s not usually a concern, but having this in place would have mitigated the recent “attacks” we experienced without me having to do anything.

I’m not talking about making this community private. Its valuable as is.

0.19.11 adds the ability for an instance to not display content to non-logged in users. Non-AZ users would retain access to all AZ homed communities etc.

As posted elsewhere, LW admins have enabled concurrent outgoing federation ~12 hours ago which has greatly improved things:
