😲🤬 re: what's happened to @Codeberg today
The AI ballyhoo *is* a real DDoS against one of the few code hosting sites that has taken a stand against slurping #FOSS code into LLM training sets — in violation of #copyleft licenses.
This is what lawless & deregulation bring us. ∃ plenty of blame to go around, but #Microsoft & #GitHub deserve the bulk of it as they trailblazed the idea that FOSS code-hosting sites are lucrative targets.

It seems like the AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. Anubis is a tool hosted on our infrastructure that requires browsers to do some heavy computation before accessing Codeberg again. It really saved us tons of nerves over the past months, because it saved us from manually maintaining blocklists to having a working detection for "real browsers" and "AI crawlers".

eBPF could be more effective and easy on the CPU, since it acts on a way lower network layer. Anubis kinda has it's limits and it's way too easy to circumvent (as you found out)

Maybe it's worth it to consider eBPF (if not already happened)

And thanks guys for your work. I'm a proud supporter and I'll continue to support your work. Companies shouldn't control the Open Source space

Anubis is extremely easy to bypass, you just have to change the User-Agent to not contain Mozilla, please get proper bot protection.

This post talks briefly about other alternatives. Try Berghain, Balooproxy, or go-away.


Vanguard (Part 1): Telegram raid protection

Over the past weeks, I’ve been immersed in developing Vanguard. Initially it was little more than a hack, which was developed quickly and without much consideration towards the cleanliness of the code.

behold the "HTML bomb"

it's a defensive counterattack on AI web-scrapers that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

the bomb file *looks* like a tiny HTML page, but when scraped -- or even requested by a regular browser ...

... it unpacks into a huge-ass 10-gig HTML page ...

... which quickly crashes any browser or scraper

Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free to read and subscribe to here: buttondown.com/clivethompson/a…

A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right
