    @announcements Blocking Aggressive Crawlers I just updated the blocklist for the Mastodon and BookWyrm instances. The logs showed meta-webindexer getting stuck in ridiculous infinite /rss/rss/ loops — a total waste of server resources pushing BookWyrm to 100% CPU utilization. Additional Bans: Meta-Webindexer/ExternalAgent: Recursive scraping gone rogue. ClaudeBot: Keeping local content out of AI training sets. Semrush &amp;amp; SERanking: Commercial SEO bots have no business here. If you...

    @announcements Hello #SFBA! As many of you know, we’ve recently migrated to a new infrastructure stack. While our logs show a 99.999% success rate, we know that only real-world usage can sometimes uncover edge cases that automated monitors miss. We are still in the fine-tuning phase and want to ensure everything is buttery smooth before we decommission the old nodes. How you can help: If you encounter errors, high latency, or posts failing to load, please don&amp;#39;t be shy! Drop a reply...

    @announcements Yesterday later afternoon, our site experienced a massive traffic spike, sustaining almost 1Gbps for about 50 minutes. What happened? Our diagnostic tools revealed that a single IP address was stuck in a high-speed loop, requesting a single video file over 54,000 times in just 50 minutes—an average of more than 1,000 requests per minute. This was likely a broken client or an aggressive scraper. Why there was no impact on you: Crucially, there was no performance impact on other...
