honestly the thing that makes me walk from alpine might not even be the LLM debate, the governance issues, etc
it might be the fact that i can no longer properly maintain my packages in alpine because the gitlab is being DoSed by AI scrapers
Colin@ariadne ah so that's why it was so incredibly slow. I was going to ask what's up / if there's a problem on the server âbut oh, it's overloaded :<
@colinstu our infrastructure is being decimated by LLM scrapers, and yet we can't even agree to say "fuck AI"

Luci âMilky Princessâ Tea@chirpbirb @ariadne @colinstu the current wave isnât by traditional style of scrapers/indexers- from the perspective of the server admin it looks like a DDoS because the scrape is initiated by individual agent sessions on individual machines running user requests; and in an âagenticâ workflow this is indistinguishable from a botnet
