Still in place for the moment, we were planning to revisit the situation tomorrow. A quick look at the graphs suggests the problem activity may have trailed off around 03:00 UTC yesterday with a brief resumption for 12:30-14:00 UTC yesterday. There's a new spike starting at 17:20 UTC today (a few minutes ago) but I'm not in a position to check whether the actual requests match the ones we were getting last week. Ian worked out configuration management for an Apache proxy in front of each of the Gitea servers which we can activate to start performing user agent based filtering of future requests, which even though it's additional complication for the service still seems preferable to blocking every customer of the largest ISP in China. -- Jeremy Stanley
