The "prod6 problem" problem 😬

A few months back I posted a write up of a problem on a web site I used to work on. I just noticed that it was the most fetched gemlog post I ever made. WTF?

Poking in the log, it's requested every few seconds from a Vodafone IP in Italy. I couldn't see any way to block an IP in the Agate docs. I shut it down for a few minutes. That stopped it for a bit, but it came back, so I renamed the file. Let's see if some error responses make it go away. Probably not.

All very strange. If it's you, please stop it.

I tried Gemini requests to the host. It accepted a connection on port 1965 but closed the socket almost instantly. So if it's you, fix your server too.
