Ryabitsev monsieuricon 1 hour ago [lock-open-] I'm sad to say that we're following the lead of many others and putting in proof-of-work proxies into place to protect ourselves against "AI" crawler bots. Yes, I hate this as much as you, but all other options are currently worse (such as locking us into specific vendors). We'll be rolling it out on lore.kernel.org and git.kernel.org in the next week or so. [reply-soli] 2 [retweet-so] 25 [star-regul] 35 monsieuricon K.
