Lemmy.ca & piefed.ca now behind anubis

194 upvotes 46 comments
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](https://anubis.techaro.lol/) should hopefully keep things running much smoother for everyone.

Let me know if you have any trouble!
