I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?

Update: if you buy the paperback version of my book, now you’ll be able to get the ebook for free. (Dunno why anybody would want that.) Also, the ebook now has wikipedia links for various terms via X-Ray, in case you didn’t know who Thad Starner was or something.

I wrote a proposal for a high-performance OSMIC backend: https://medium.com/@/proposal-for-a-high-performance-storage-system-for-osmic-branching-histories-7cb324c7df2d?source=friends_link&sk=40fc22e94810bd20995286d1f8815a6c but it occurs to me that I don’t have a good intro to OSMIC so that’s next.
