@jwildeboer Just this week a repository in my Forgejo instance was under attack. In a day, I racked up over 130k distinct IPs with fail2ban and had to abandon that approach.

I now have a simple trick that cut out practically all of the traffic, but I hesitate to share it as it's not difficult to work around… I wish we didn't have to resort to such things.

@annaghughes Geez that's crazy.

@geekysteven Heat pumps are such magic to me.

"Yeah instead of just using electricity for heating, we devised a complicated system of a compressor, liquids that are sometimes gases, and a whole lot of piping. It gives us 5 times the heat energy."

The simple solution should be the efficient one!
