Since yesterday my server has again been getting absolutely obliterated by AI scrapers. This time, though, load is below 1, but I'm getting up to 10 requests a second and all of my Apache workers are in state "R". What levers do I have to pull on this? ...

UPDATE:

Please do not hit reply to tell me about robots.txt or the first shit you googled. I had specific technical questions and would like specific technical answers, not vibes.

@jwz You're asking people for help, and being a giant dickhole in return. So why don't you *pay* someone to help, or do your own research?

@not3ottersinacoat @jwz Makes it an easy to block moment. They are right, if this is gratitude burn it down.

@TomasHradcky Nothing worse than someone who takes out their anger on someone else trying to help. Fragile ego hurt because they can't figure out a thing on their own. In any case, I can't stand a bully.

@not3ottersinacoat you simply don't need to be here at all.
