Since building a new Edge service and capability I've decided to call "Picket", I'm now dropping about ~40% of incoming traffic to the floor in various ways. Whole botnets, search engines, crawlers and all sorts of unwanted traffic are just going splat 💥 -- Turns out measuring cohorts by fingerprinting and behaviour analysis from connection stats and logs alone is "enough"™ to block most unwanted traffic. Things like Anubis, using a PoW, which I tried, don't really work in my expeirence.

@shinyoukai@twtxt.net Yeah, I think you can get pretty far with a few careful lines of config. But what I have here is a bit more sophisticated. Picket fingerprints connecting clients and is table to work out for example what software and stack your client is, if it really is Chrome or you’re pretneding to be Chrome.
