Ohh interesting, I have CrowdSec going but I like the sound of Iocaine as well, anything to screw with scrapers since that’s still on the to do list (robots.txt, etc).

It wouldn’t be a fediverse post without half the comments being off topic and the other half arguments about very specific and very inconsequential subjects =-)

Good call, I did check that and my router (Google) doesn’t have that option, that’s why I went with the surprisingly annoying script, heh.

There’s supposed to be a picture of Picard clapping here but it’s erroring and won’t let me upload, even thought it did in another reply, so… thanks for helping me find a bug?

This is my first hosting experience outside some game server type stuff, and I only access Lemmy from an app, so as stupid as this is gonna sound I actually had a lightbulb moment halfway through realizing I was making an actual website with a URL…

Sure, I’ll gladly mention anything else that comes up. I know of some small things I still need to look at but am planning to let my brain rest a few days first, heh.
