   Hi all,   
      
   We wanted to share some information, so here is a bits from the ci.debian.net   
   team.   
      
   Surviving scraper traffic   
   =========================   
      
   Like most of the open web, Debian Continuous Integration has been struggling   
   for a while to keep up with the insatiable hunger from data scrapers   
   everywhere. Solving this involved a lot of trial and error; the final result   
   seems to be stable, and consists of two parts.   
      
   First, all Debian CI data pages, except the direct links to test log files   
   (such as those provided by the Release Team's testing migration excuses), now   
   require users to be authenticated before being accessed. This means that the   
   Debian CI data is no longer publicly browseable, which is a bit sad. However,   
   this is where we are now.   
      
   Additionally, there is now a fail2ban powered firewall-level access limitation   
   for clients that display an abusive access pattern. This went through several   
   iterations, with some of them unfortunately blocking legitimate Debian   
   contributors, but the current state seems to strike a good balance between   
   blocking scrapers and not blocking real users. Please get in touch with the   
   team on the #debci OFTC channel if you are affected by this.   
      
      
   support questions   
   =================   
      
   Please feel free to ask your questions about autopkgtest or its test results on   
   the #debci OFTC channel. If your prefer e-mail, you can use   
   debian-ci@l.d.o. Please be aware that we are not the same team as the one that   
   operates salsa-ci.   
      
      
   On behalf of the team,   
   Paul
