    Okay, I shouldn't say "now"---it has always been a matter of principle. These bots are an attack on that autonomy and agency that are so critical to the practical expression of freedom the free software movement. If those of us who are experts have trouble, what does that mean for everyone else.

    I'd like to add to the growing chorus of self hosters and free software projects frustrated by the onslaught of bots trying to scrape websites through whatever underhanded tactic they can think of. In my case, Forgejo.

    I haven't kept good statistics due to my log retention policies and my continuous resetting of counters, but I've had bursts 100s of IPs and tens of thousands of requests an hour for my tiny Forgejo instance on my poor 1vCPU server that otherwise gets almost no non-bot traffic. But it is holding strong.

    What a complete waste of what little personal time I have. But I will not relent; it is a matter of principle now.

    @civodul @lxo @anthk @amszmidt @janneke @slothrop The phrasing of this message caught my eye.

    I think the FSF's strategy is one legitimate way to attempt to preserve its integrity and values, though certainly not the only way. But that strategy also comes with an unavoidable consequence: you lose the ability to say you represent anything more than the majority-consensus values of your voting members.

    A movement is a fluid thing; you can seed it, you can grow it, but you cannot control it unless a vast enough majority of individuals in the movement recognize you as the leader. Without unanimous leadership, [suggested] claims over an entire moment only divide it further.

    Free software hacker and user freedom activist with a focus on user privacy and security; professional software engineer; advisor to the GNU Project.I deal primarily with compiler construction and the creation of domain-specific languages and abstractions to simplify the development and improve the robustness of otherwise-complex systems. I historically did a lot of web development, and have been programming for over twenty years. Some of my personal interests include programming language history and theory, formal methods and proofs, logic and type theory, cryptography, philosophy and ethics, and writing. I don't claim to be good at any of those things.The focus of my research in recent years has been pursuant to addressing problems of practical user freedom—to make various aspects of freedom in computing accessible to more users in concrete and tangible ways that are meaningful to them beyond abstract principle and philosophy.
