The wiki is either being ddos'ed or scraped (probably for "AI") by
thousands of IP-addresses from the US and Singapore hosted by Alibaba
Cloud LLC.
Many of them have been blacklisted automatically already by fail2ban.
I'll manually blacklist all of their IP ranges now.
Same for the forum, but manually adding subnets was almost a day job....
to many of them.
I've installed https://github.com/WKnak/fail2ban-block-ip-range as a
cron job, running it every 5 min. (i've edited the script a but so it
blocks /20 subnets and smaller
