I'm worried about the day that #devops #anxiety

Great article by @… who's been at the coal face for many years.
Not just an excellent read for humans, it's LLM friendly so you can give it to your AI as steering guidelines.

Another great article from Brent Chapman - "What managing emergencies at Burning Man teaches me about incident management in tech"

We tweaked our firewalls and our Anubis rules. The attack persisted, but it was contained.
We also scaled our systems to avoid more accidental downtimes caused by these scrapping operations... Then the attackers scaled up their scrapping campaign, and found new ways to bypass our #Anubis config.
This past night I managed to come up with a stricter configuration that blocks virtually all of them (I don't know for how long this will last, though).
As of now, our Anubis instance is stopping around 40 requests per second.
I know that this is "nothing" for anyone working in very big systems, but bear in mind that this is after I already blocked around 3.5% of all the IPv4 addresses existing, and it accounts for 95% of our traffic. For every legitimate request we have, we have 19 that come from bots.
P.S.: In an ideal world, I would openly share the rules I found to work well... Unfortunately I don't think that would be a good idea. I don't want to make the scrappers' job any easier.

You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically.
