How to Build a Powerful Reverse Proxy Firewall for Blocking the Evil Web-Scraping Robot Hordes from Hell (cheapskatesguide.org)

My goals for this firewall were mostly to provide better robot blocking and perhaps some more powerful DDoS protection than my Raspberry Pi 3 web server is capable of delivering. I still have to do some testing before I will know if my new firewall actually provides either of those, but at least I now have the additional ability to run multiple physical web servers on my LAN. Exploring that should be fun, and fun is a very important component of running a home web server.

Not my article. Just sharing.

I'm still trying to make 'sloppers' happen. Perfectly describes the lack of thought that goes into what they produce.

I like 'sloppers' as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

clankers make the end result that sloppers (meatbags) eat up ;)

Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.

Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.
