May June Jul 2025 Review
Added 2025-07-31 00:01:10 +0000 UTCRuh roh; time really got away from me this time again. I've been fighting AI web scrapers and/or DDoS attacks, but there's been a bit of feature work too. In other news, I went viral on youtube that resulted in 250+ LoBlast orders and I also had a wedding celebration.
Most of the stuff that got done:
botbr_points resource added to api
lyceum anchor tag cleanup
block unstarted major battles in api
reenable login requirements for donloads
404 thumbnail on >2.5mb entry previews
player gov update for mbv max at -3.0 instead of -6.0 (louder)
login required to updated player gov values
player analyzer layout updated
admin controls for login requirements for different page types
mostly used to block high traffic bots
All in all, feels like we have a better handle on how to deal with a flood of bots. Trying to block IP ranges definitely started to fail. There are still a lot of blocked ranges which could be blocking normal people.
Right now I need to focus on getting Bit Periods working correctly.
Thanks everyone for your support!
