Just lost access to my own fucking blog because it was being bludgeoned by bots.
I'm going to change my 503 error to a picture of someone's head on a fucking spike (you know who).

So now what? I've effectively deactivated my blog and Collective Access instance because of this scraper attack.
I begrudgingly put up with my shit getting stolen to feed the giant plagiarism machines, but not if it's going to deny me access to my own goddamn site.
I'm sad because a small number of weirdos found my posts useful, just as I have found many obscure blogs.
What are our options for blocking and / or poisoning these bad actors while maintaining a marginally usable site?
I hate just giving up.

really miffed by what I'm seeing on my website logs, so for now its
echo "Deny from All" >> .htaccess
until I figure out what I can or want to do about it.

also
echo "errorDocument 403 "get fucked scrapers"" >> .htaccess

aww shit, but this breaks my redirect of bibleguncamp.com to texas.gov
I'm sure there's a more professional way to do that though.
