A forum related to laser show syatems I use from time

hit by scrapers coming from 300,000 unique IP addresses.
I hit a different issue, they were completing captcha and spamming wiki.
The same thing happened to me at $dayjob. We wound up putting a bunch of our stuff (wiki,
documentation repository, code forge) behind a VPN because the LLM crawler bots were
eating
up so much bandwidth we couldn't use them for day to day stuff. Which really sucks
because
they were supposed to be public to begin with.
