And I like the pragmatism.

I do have to say that the internet these days is very different from the internet even like a year ago.

With the rise of LLMs and AIs, I'm starting to see patterns in our traffic, which are unlike any other time.

We have these very big spikes when a lot of data is being requested in very short periods of time from, I mean, the user agents, they don't make much sense.

I mean, I know they're spoofed.

There are many IPs which are being used.

So it's almost like there's like a, I don't know, some system which wants a lot of our content is doing silly things because some requests, they just don't make sense.

Like for example, what benefit does static favicon have?

Like what's up with that?

That just makes no sense.

Maybe it's a heartbeat or a version of a heartbeat.

Maybe, but this is the first time I've seen, I've seen this specific file being downloaded this many times.

I haven't seen this before, which makes me think is this a trend that we'll start seeing more and more requests that don't make sense.

And then you start having to set up like some form of protection for all sorts of clients that are just doing the wrong thing.

You need like a defensive layer by default.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Yeah.

and something that would be fair to regular clients.

Like for example, when I want to do like a benchmark, I mean, sure it's me and I wouldn't want other people to do that because I'm testing the system, making sure like the real world, the production system everywhere in the world is working correctly.
