Update 2: Another one at the moment, so site is slow. :)

Update: Another 30000 bots joined the party, so cpu usage is high at the moment. Site is slower than normal.

Appearently about 17500 bots are attempting to slow down our instance and eating bandwidth by grabbing the same files over and over.

They are banned for now but its an ongoing battle against these guys. Just wanted to let you know in case you notice worse performance. :)

Yeah, I just wish there was more discussions about different interests, like on reddit.

For example, as a nerd, i use neovim a lot. But there is no community here that posts about new plugins and new features, no discussions how to do certain things. Reddit is still the go-to source for those things. I would love if that could change, but the majority of users are still on that reddit place... :P

I know exactly what you mean. I miss the guitar communities they have over there.
