  • I would say we admins are more like the plumbers of this place (and the mods are the janitors), but thanks for the praise.

    Our wiki isn’t used that much, but it seems to have a few enthusiastic users so it is worth keeping around, and luckily it doesn’t seem like Dokuwiki is turning into slopware like Etherpad 😑

  • Yeah the server the reverse-proxy runs on was overwhelmed dealing with AI scraper requests in a strange feedback loop with Anubis. I am almost a bit suspicious if this is intentional to discurage the use of Anubis, but for now these scrapers seem to be fine with ingesting the garbage that Iocaine serves them, so at least temporarily our instance behaves again like expected.

  • Most LLM users don’t try to hide it and the commit pattern is a result of the LLM assisted workflow, thus without losing the perceived benefits of using LLMs it can not be easily hidden. And the pattern isn’t only about when but also what. You might be oblivious to it, but the pattern is very clear and not possible to mistake with regular code writing patterns in an overall project. It is harder to spot in individual smaller PRs though, but that isn’t what Codeberg’s new policy is targeting.

    And anyways, this isn’t a question of “wrong-think”, but simply of Codeberg not wanting to be associated with such low quality, likely copyright violating and resource hogging projects. The LLM using people have plenty of other code forges to use, so it is really a non-issue 🤷

  • Well, it is a tarpit and not a scaper block like Anubis and I need to think about some additional things to add to it in the future, but it solved the main issue of some scrapers recently causing some sort of reconnection loop on our reverse-proxy which was really slowing down that server and causing connection issues.
