Unfortunately the Forge web site forge.slackware.nl is super slow today. The reason: an onslaught from many many IP addresses belonging to Chinese infrastructure. It almost feels like a DDoS attack. Every repository, every commit, every ‘blame’ page seems to be requested and the requestors are hiding that they are bots. A UserAgent containing “Edg/145.0.0.0” i.e. with a missing “e” tells it all.
I will look into installing Anubis on this server. Apologies for the degradation of the service.
Update 20260729:
I have installed Anubis to guard the gate of Forge and discourage the AI scraping bots.
It looks like the site has its responsiveness back, but I want to hear if anything in your git and CICD workflows has perhaps broken as a result. It should all still work because only the HTML page requests are being fed into Anubis. Still…
I updated the main article: I have added Anubis to the Forge Docker stack and it is working. Let me know of any form of breakage when using git or automations.
