Self-hosting anything that is deemed “content” openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell.

Good read, I use crowdsec to block most of the traffic considered as malicious (which tend to overlap with scrappers), but I should look into Locaine to feed garbage to the remaining ones instead of throttling.
it’s iocaine not Locaine, tripped me up at first as well.

If nothing else, to see if throwing Anubis in front of iocaine is still a worthwhile idea.
