Codebase64 mirroring idiots?
I know, I know - Internet is not available everwhere but is that really a reason to crawl codebase64.org with a stupid webcrawler hitting each and every URL it sees?
Frantic and me agreed in adding a plugin which will allow an HTML-ized download for on-the-road-reads and we of course hope that intensified reading leads to more submissions! (Stay tuned for that!)
MEANWHILE we are close to banning _ALL OF POLAND_ via IP rules and deny any access to codebase64.org and other sites hosted on the same server.
HOW SICK ARE YOU generating 60gb of traffic for what appears from the logs as mirroring will result as an unbrowsable data blob.
Oh, cant be wasting our bandwidth with such a silly connection but keeping the shit running for over a week shows some dedication at least. If the initiator is reading this: quit it or deal with the consequences. We are open minded and surely give more than we take - you are abusing it.
(BTW, codebase64 is generating about 8gb per month without stupid mirroring attempts, as a comparison to above give number. We'd like to keep reliability and speed so please report any problems to either Frantic or me) |

Luckily I live in Sweden now, so no ban for me ;-) |

As soon as it's login only and there's no https then it's almost like blocked for me.
If it'd have encryption I might even consider contributing to it (this is not a promise, and as time permits).
As for FB groups, good for my family, but they're not interested in coding, and I'm not interested in FB. Another nice empty set.
Life is damn hard sometimes ;) |

soci: as much as I favour your paranoia regarding encryption you'd have to find the solution for the regular linux admin to have some sort of self-signed ssl-certificate for several domains on the same IP. Is there something like self-signed SAN certificates maybe? Will this mozilla encrypt campaign have alike?
Until then: we surely would love to see you contributing. Use a unique login/password combination and there shouldn't be too much of a thread to falsify your coding info. Damn that's too high stuff for the NSA even!
soci - dont get me wrong, BUT: As I saw similar complaints regarding encryption from you on the vice ML a while ago: I cannot follow your point of view here. Encrypted submission to about any source (may it be vice, codebase or csdb) does not prevent us from modifying the databases directly and your used encryption does not log your contribution anyhow. :)
Is it really that you wouldn't comment e.g. a blog post if your email is required and there is no https?

<offtopic answer> almost there: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/15/lets_encrypt/ </offtopic>
ontopic, if u can do the code, you could write a simple ratelimiter using fail2ban or grep/awk. but takes time and rolling your own can be error prone.
imagine a cronjob that just analyzes the access log and bans ips if a certain threshold is reached. |

Been there already - less error prone is using "Sippenhaft" (sorry, cannot find a proper translation) on all of Poland via geoip. Wouldn't hurt US anyhow :) |
