Indeed, what would you even get out of DDoSing Fedora? It can only be done out of malice.

@weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works @ISolox@lemmy.world I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it's not something from directed attack (i.e. some person or group targeting Fedora), but rather automated crawlers from LLMs. The whole Internet have been under attack by AI corps requesting everything they can without checking robots.txt, and using vast pools of IP addresses to avoid IP blocking. FOSS projects have been severely affected by it.

They should consider adopting Anubis.

@weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works While there are still things to be improved for Anubis IMHO (such as being less harsh with mobile and low-power devices), yeah, it's currently the best solution for this problem caused by LLM crawlers.
