So Xe was really quick identifying the issue with 1.26.0 and already
has a patch which we are using now so that gitweb works again (but
please try cgit, it really is much nicer):
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/1763

Meanwhile the AI scraperbots keep hammering us. We blocked most
datacenters we could identify, but the residential proxies just keep
going and are really hard to block [*]. We are seeing ~7000-~8000
concurrent connections. Causing new connections to be really slow or
even time out.

Frank is going to try to put an nginx tls terminator in front of httpd
tomorrow which hopefully helps handling more concurrent connections.

Cheers,

Mark
