I didn’t know that was the inspiration for Control. That is both one of the best and worst books I’ve ever read, everyone should read it. Just don’t make the mistake of actually trying to understand it…

Ohh interesting, I have CrowdSec going but I like the sound of Iocaine as well, anything to screw with scrapers since that’s still on the to do list (robots.txt, etc).

It wouldn’t be a fediverse post without half the comments being off topic and the other half arguments about very specific and very inconsequential subjects =-)

Good call, I did check that and my router (Google) doesn’t have that option, that’s why I went with the surprisingly annoying script, heh.
