Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have something similar with fail2ban + hidden buttons. If the requester goes and clicks on the hidden buttons on the main site, it gets into a rabbit hole. After 3 requests, it gets banned for a bit. Usually stops the worst offenders. OpenAI and some of the scrapers are the worst.
Google/bing, I do actually see them hit robots.txt then jump off, which is what they should be going.
Oooooh. That's smart. I mostly host apps, but in theory, I should be able to dynamically modify the response body and tack on some HTML for a hidden button and do that.
I used to disallow everything in robots.txt but the worst crawlers just ignored it. Now my robots.txt says all are welcome and every bot gets shunted to the tarpit 😈
Nice! Thats another way to do it. 😀
I know others use Arabis(?) I think thats what it called. The anime girl one that does a calc on top. Ive never had good luck with it. I think bot are using something to get around and it messes with my requests. Might also be my own fiddling.
You probably mean Anubis.
Woops yes!
