@osm_tech The proxy SDK providers need to be treated like the DDOS providers they are and prosecuted.

@osm_tech I'm administering a web server for a client that has about 50 web sites. Every few days they get hammered by residential proxy IPs for a few hours, so I finally installed Anubis.

@osm_tech ugh.... why don't they use the exports...
@pietervdvn Because that would involve a human using their brains or having a shred of conscience and those both go against the basic principles of the companies doing this.

Decades ago when I read Dune I thought the Butlerian Jihad against computers was the silliest thing in it.Suddenly it makes sense. The sooner the LLM AI bubble bursts the better!

@osm_tech this sounds right up 404 medias alley.
They all have contacts and have reported on museums and Wikipedia having similar issues.

@osm_tech You are definitely not alone: https://lwn.net/Articles/1008897/ The situation is not sustainable but I'm not sure what we do about it beyond waiting for the AI bubble to burst. -
