Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)This afternoon, I got close to what I wanted to achieve in terms of load-balancing between the two <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/sabots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sabots</a> I have running.I had originally planned to use <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/OpenHTTPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenHTTPD</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/RelayD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RelayD</a> to do the job, but <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/HAProxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HAProxy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/PROXY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PROXY</a> protocol was the limiting factor… so I went <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nginx</a> instead.One thing I haven't worked out yet, is how to pass the client IP by PROXY protocol to a HTTP back-end. Seems I can do it for a generic TCP stream, but not HTTP.The alternative is to set X-Forwarded-For, and have the back-ends trust it, like they trust PROXY for the gateway's IPv4 address for <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/sniproxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sniproxy</a>.But… it works, you can hit <a href="https://sabot.vk4msl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sabot.vk4msl.com/</a> and you'll either get sabot01 (which uses nepenthes) or sabot02 (which uses iocaine). Since neither cares about the URI, I can bounce the client between them.This did get me thinking though, if enough of us did it, we could have a <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/AISabotAsAService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AISabotAsAService</a> for websites to redirect/link to when they think they're being scraped by an AI bot.We could provide a pool of servers that would provide the link maze. Front-end proxies would just bounce you between all the pool members, feeding your bot nonsense.

Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)I've just thrown this little page together…<a href="http://vk4msl.com/2023-backburn/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://vk4msl.com/2023-backburn/</a>I'll probably get rid of it once the backburning is passed, but this is the raw data along with the current conditions. The current conditions update each minute (self-refreshing).I might see if I can get a chart going on it, the data's there.Data flow is from the data logger → <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/6LoWPAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#6LoWPAN</a> mesh → <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/CoAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CoAP</a> proxy → <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/WideSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WideSky</a> back-end → <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/pyhaystack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pyhaystack</a> → JSON files to be served up by <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/OpenHTTPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenHTTPD</a>The pyhaystack script runs from `cron`.
