- A new category has appeared! Moderation & Server Administration is up and running for your questions and discussion about all things instance admin related. This category is a bit of a catch-all but I am happy to discuss splitting the category into additional categories given usage.
fediadminno longer auto-categorizes to General, it now goes to the Moderation categoryfedimodandfedimodswill now auto-categorize to the Moderation category.

- Re-enabled Anubis after adjusting some rules.
- After the last update 17 Nov, I actually disabled Anubis again because it was interfering with logins (perhaps this is a known issue? Anyhow, proxying POST requests directly to NodeBB fixed the issue)

Can you guess when I turned Anubis back on?
Grey line (left-hand; y-axis) tracks page views Blue line (right-hand; y-axis) tracks unique users
You can even see the spike in traffic that brought down the site hard enough that I got my butt in gear to tune Anubis and turn it back on.
Based on the numbers here, there is a thirteen-fold decrease in activity (or a ~92% drop in traffic), all identified by Anubis as bots and blocked.
Selective adjustments were made to the nginx config and anubis bot policy to allow certain bits of traffic through (for unimpeded federation, etc.), but otherwise the site is now quite stable, on a small potato server. :potato:
Default bot policy does let search engine crawlers though (I think), so that is win-win.
Thank you so much @cadey@pony.social, my next stop is your GitHub Sponsors page.
