After adjusting the Al crawlerprotections, performance significantly improvedagain.It seems like the Al crawlers learned how tosolve the Anubis challenges. Anubis is a toolhosted on our infrastructure that requiresbrowsers to do some heavy computation beforeaccessing Codeberg again.

new year update on what I'm using: #phanpy and #pl-fe as desktop clients, my own #fedicat and a bit of #IceCubes on iOS, hosting this and other official accounts on #mastohost, account on iosdev.space is super useful for ios dev, random posting on universeodon.com (basically where I started in the #fediverse, in retrospect I would have picked something with a shorter domain), love using #neodb and #bookwyrm, and thanks to all the admins out their hosting my test accounts!
