It wouldn't be a bad idea to have an extra mod or two.

[Riot]

I really think that’s the last thing we need around here.

Making someone a mod has long be a shadow permaban. But, you aren't wrong.

[Painthappy]

I'm doing my part!

Carp looking for informants…

Shocking.

I thought mods just looked after the sweater puppies and assets threads. They do more?!

[Nish]

Don't sell me short like that. Funny and Random is where I'm at.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Nish. That’s fair! Those are some of my favourite threads.

No. We appoint a noob and make him do all the work while the rest of us attend to... other tasks...

If you gotta ask, you can't afford it.

OR, just thinking out loud here... you could route all traffic through Cloudflare (Free tier)- e.g. have apache only talk to cloudflaire's static IP addresses forcing all traffic to go through them. Then block all traffic originating from datacenters, BECAUSE very few people are running bots from their house. You would need to generate an Origin certificate and load that on to your server to encrypt the traffic from your server to cloudflare. The other benefit to this is cloudflare will automatically issue the client ssl - set force SSL always on strict, min TLS 1.2, sweater puppy filters off.

If you take it a step further, and set up a cron job to export you apache logs to an AI agent who will scan them for irregular behavior, or known abusive IPs, and automatically add them to the ban list.

Using cloudflare is a great idea for all the reasons you listed. I use it for my own cloud stuff hosted at home and it works well - tons of crap gets filtered out before it hits my network.

[latches109]

OpusX I get that a lot too. we could white-list our vpn ip. And or add the “safest” cidr-blocks from the main vpn providers.

lhamilton1807 have you guys used little snitch? https://www.obdev.at/products/little...f=nelson.cloud

Or using block lists for general browsing like hagezi

[lhamilton1807]

I haven’t used that, no. I’ve employed pihole with OpenDNS upstream for dns filtering to limit access to ads, known dangerous domains, and general content filtering (still have kids) at home. I’ve not had to deploy these solutions for an organization though - I kept to pretty simple solutions for my home network.
