Sorry for the ~26 minutes of downtime, I might have left certbot in a 95% configured state last time I was making changes…

Blahaj’s recent troubles have motivated me to take care of the OS updates I’ve been procrastinating on, such as our proxmox and various DB servers.

I’m expecting under 30 minutes to take care of it all, should be back by 9pm PST.

Thanks to a particularly annoying botnet, everyone’s favorite anime cat girl firewall is now helping protect piefed.ca & lemmy.ca from bots and scrapers.

This is requests per second and these are all thousands of scrapers on residential IPs hammering us:

They’d increase their usage until the site started struggling, then move on. I banned their user agents, but have no interest in a cat & mouse game. Anubis should hopefully keep things running much smoother for everyone.

Let me know if you have any trouble!
