Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:
20.171.207.41 GPTBot/1.2
85.208.96.211 SemrushBot/7~bl
54.36.148.64 AhrefsBot/7.0
114.119.139.53 PetalBot
With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest 
They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack 
Well, in a sense it is one 
Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape 
content and starts doing it on a massive scale 
Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?
For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough 
Please boost for visibility and be prepared!
