@piegames@flausch.social six hour IP block with a message to uninstall malware from your devices. The internet is being eaten by rude AI crawlers and these proxies are the vector.

@ross@hachyderm.io @piegames@flausch.social it's sad, but it's about time people are made accountable for their "device hygiene" when connecting to the Internet. Try doing that kind of behaviour at most Hosting providers and you'd be kicked out in no time, same should apply to individuals (and educate them along the way)

@ross@hachyderm.io @piegames@flausch.social It doesn't matter. They only scrape a few files per unique IP. They have millions to rotate through.

@ross@hachyderm.io @piegames@flausch.social a zip bomb is probably more effective.
