@osm_tech Block all read access except from registered users? And be restrictive on whom to grant an account (captcha, verified email address)?

@martinrust had a similar issue with a much, much smaller wiki server (😅 ) but facing the same anonymous scrapers coming from thousands of random IP's. Couldn't find a way to keep them from crashing the server, so now access is by registration only. Very disruptive, this "AI" race to the bottom destroyed the open internet 😟 @osm_tech
