I experienced issue with bots hosted by Google Cloud earlier this year. But I got smae issue also with AWS, Oracle, and Microsoft clouds.

I find it ironic how some countries fight against VPNs hosted in local data centers (under the guise of websites) by checking the TLS fingerprint too. As a result, in countries with DPI filtering, perfectly legal websites don't work even within the country. AI content scrapers, government...

They also scan mediawiki-projects. Same patterns.

Years ago, CF CAPTCHA (or hard ban if CF is unavailable) for few datacenter ASNs from those countries (+ Singapore, China, Brazil) did the trick. Now, my top bot sources are the US, Netherlands, France and Germany. The latest wave even hit residential IPs from ~50 countries. The catch is that...

You might be right, but they also observed issues on the official Anubis website when I asked them to check it for testing purposes. Аt that time I decided to stick with geo-blocking. upd: in my Xenforo installation the bottleneck is redirects to posts not threads themselves. I have no idea why...

Page loading stuck for too many good users.

My users get problem with Tumblr. If they use Share → Copy link via Tumblr dashboard (https://www.tumblr.com/) or search page (https://www.tumblr.com/search/), media won't inserted. For example: https://scianvih.tumblr.com/post/691082761549856768 — ok...

Yep, the error was temporary. Sorry to disturb :oops:

We got 429 error (too many connection) when embed video from vk.com :( Maybe it somehow connect with hash in embed url?

Only template modification ozzmodz_hide_quote_first and ozzmodz_hide_quote_last is need. This modification hide quote from bottom of the post, but leave button when you select some text in this post. I'm do not use this addon anymore, but in my case it works like this:

Standard template modification is: <xf:if is="$xf.options.ozzmodzHideQuoteLast"> <xf:if is="!$post.isLastPost()"> $0...
