@lanodan Dataforseobot is a plague.

@p @lanodan >"Falkenstein" "SN" "DE"
Of course it's running on Heztner

@graf @lanodan They exit in a lot of weird places because they know nobody will give them free data for a closed search engine.

@p @lanodan Looks like I blocked the lowercase version like two years ago "dataforseobot"

graf:~$ cat /etc/nginx/security/bad-user-agents.conf | grep -i data
                "~*FediBigData"                  1;
                "~*DataForSeoBot"                1;

@p @lanodan Also I think lanodan has poast blocked but thank him for me because I forgot to check again

@graf @p @lanodan

@OeakEyDoork @p @lanodan

@graf @lanodan Complete dingii. You see that the "FediBigData" guy's fake-instance was found? http://81.27.105.14:8080/actor

@p @lanodan Yeah I noticed it when I was blocking the rest of his ranges

graf:~$ sudo iptables -L -n | grep 81.27.105.14
DROP       all  --  81.27.105.14         0.0.0.0/0

@p @lanodan I should actually poison his data like I did to the birdsitelive guy when he was misrepresenting himself and scraping the nitter

@graf @OeakEyDoork @lanodan Ha, this is a fun track.

@p @OeakEyDoork @lanodan It's BABYMETAL. Love them unironically. We saw them live at Echo Beach in Toronto with the Metalocalypse guys a couple years ago. I don't remember the latter much but I remember being on the phone with Gleason at the merch booth when he was talking about fucking with the directory structure of Soybox and I was too drunk to process what he was saying to me at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK3NMZAUKGw

> It's BABYMETAL. Love them unironically.

Ah, nice. Yeah, they're fun sometimes. I am not a huge fan but this was a good track.

> I remember being on the phone with Gleason at the merch booth when he was talking about fucking with the directory structure of Soybox and I was too drunk to process what he was saying to me at all

A lot of what he said sounded like he was repeating something someone else explained to him, so you probably didn't miss much.

@lanodan Let’s put the whole website behind redirects, then.

Edit: ah, sorry, it’s an SEO bot, not an AI scraper.
