WTF? On Tuesday morning I was using 37GB of space. Today I'm using 41GB of space. That's nearly 10% of my server's storage used in five days!

Checking my logs and apparently a new bunch of Alibaba Cloud IPs have been hammering my servers. One server alone is two orders of magnitude more traffic above the second highest IP. Between the lot of them? FOUR ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE!

They're now getting redirected to a tarpit.
