I was thinking about it. Not everyone has a static IP address. I do regularly use mobile (5G) connection too. I just tried to view glibc repo on the browser, and 3 out 4 requests went to 429. It took me 2 minutes, <20 refreshes to get https://sourceware.org/bugzilla to not throw 429. Still got malformed output. Pressing the login button gets me back to the 429 train. I do agree that AI scrappers have no limits, and I doubt there is a decent solution that will help. The only solution that I suggested for another project was to split infra into two parts: have as-is limited infra (Anubis, rate limits, long cache time, etc.) and use Tailscale (or anything similar) to have unrestricted access. Probably a proxy server would be enough without or with auth. david
