In-reply-to » @prologic I didn’t want to hijack @bender’s thread: There’s two things that feel a bit unexpected regarding the requests of 159.196.9.199 in my logs:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe they’re not all coming from yarnd, but one of them could be from yarns, the search engine. Just a wild guess. My twtxt.txt access log doesn’t record the source IP address, so I don’t know.

And aren’t there any other hosted yarnd instances? Maybe it was never really implemented, but I remember @prologic@twtxt.net thought about hosting dedicated yarnds for others in the past. Could be well over a year ago, not sure.

Another possibility might be a forgotten development instance idling around (or not so much :-D) in the background. I think the default user agent points to txtxt.net, not example.com. At least when I last checked the yarnd code. That was also several months ago.
