Corion	A good morning everybody!
marto	hey Corion, how are things with you?
Corion	Seems the bad AI-storm is over. I should really look into getting the humans-only access from a different machine ready.
Corion	marto: Besides the return of AI crawlers, quite good ;) I'm vaporizing some ponds by playing with AI coding agents, but I don'
Corion	... don't see the vast improvement that others claim. But maybe these others haven't written code themselves before - in that sense it is an enabler.
Corion	On the upside, it has enabled me to kick off some side-side-projects off the ground, as I only had to sit down to write the spec and not sit down and write the code ;)
Corion	I hope you're doing well!
marto	hanging on in there, a lot going on both in and outside of $work
marto	would it be worth considering, at least in the short term using some AI blocking service like cloudflaire offers?
Corion	marto: I think the Cloudflare thing would be the only thing that could work with our infrastructure since (self-)hosting something like Anubis to block requests doesn't help against the residential proxies
Corion	The main brunt of the requests even gets directly blocked, but it overwhelms the IP ports/connection pool. But I'm reluctant to re-point the DNS (or even have Cloudflare terminate our SSL connections and giving them the certificate)
marto	I understand the reluctance, but it may be the lesser of two evils, for a while, and at least give you (and whoever else is involved) some breathing space
Corion	Yeah, but that's again some hassle with mediocre success propability and no easy rollback
Corion	But yeah, maybe some similar, non-CloudFlare thing exists , without needing to give them the (managed, not by us) SSL certificates, or maybe simply having new (ACME) certificates is an approach
marto	it's slop all the way down
Corion	Yeah, I'm not sure how this will work out long-term, as I don't see that people will stop using vibecoded crawlers
