No outages in the latest Apache logs. However, there is plenty of suspicious activity.

The log has 16,033 lines.

Of these, 1,559 lines feature the "RecentChanges" function for my wikis. Which is something regular users _might_ call up from time to time, but I suspect that #scrapers are the more likely culprits.

The vast majority of these requests come from a random assortment of IP addresses, and they usually end with something on the lines of:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

So yeah, "anonymous bot nets scraping the Interwebs for nefarious purposes" would be by first guess.
