LLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut | sr.ht status
status.sr.ht
SourceHut continues to face disruptions due to aggressive LLM crawlers. We are continuously working to deploy mitigations. We have deployed a number of mitigations which are keeping the problem contained for now. However, some of our mitigations may impact end-users. In particular, we have deployed Nepenthes to certain routes which are associated with large volumes of LLM-related traffic. You may encounter certain pages which are not usable as a result, especially if you are not logged in.

    I wonder how much of the load problems I observe with lemmy.world are due to AI crawlers.

    The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They’re tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.
