Since implementing some rudimentary nft mitigation against rude web clients hogging all available connections to cairn I also added some basic counters so that I can see what is going on.
This is what it looks like over here since my last nft refresh. Shout out to gemini for being the most well-behaved protocol of the bunch!

It boggles the mind all the shenanigans that people are up to on the Internet. I've come to understand the number of bot request has long surpassed that of actual human beings. That is a sorry state of affairs. Is this the way of the ruling class to make sure we don't connect to each other and decide to move on without them?
It would be the funniest thing if climate change was a hoax and it caused all billionaires to flee to Mars without an option to return. No I haven't lost the plot, I'm just extrapolating a bit. It's what you do after a long day filled with nonsense and a couple of glasses of wine.
