   @corbet @lwn I ended up disabling the selinuxproject.org wiki & redirecting it to the github repo. That was after a bunch of anti-crawler stuff was enabled. It's too much to meaningfully keep up with as a hobbyist.

     As of the last count, @lwn has been hit by 1.6 million unique IP addresses since yesterday morning. We have managed to stabilize the site against that level of attack, but it is still annoying.

     I do find myself wondering if there isn't material for a good class-action lawsuit here. We are far from the only ones having to cope with this crap. I'm not normally much of a fan of the US class-action lawsuit machine, but extracting money from the Bright Datas of the world to make some lawyers richer doesn't sound like an entirely bad proposition.
