Computers are the worst. - My site was running like a dog today because I was getting hit by some scraper that was trying to grab every single post, so I turned on WAF rules in Cloudfront which solved that problem (but will probably cost me a stupid amount) but then I suddenly couldn't upload any images so obviously one of the rules was blocking that but which one? which necessitated an hourlong dive into various logs until we narrowed it down to the exact rule and turned that off so now I can upload images again. I really, really, really need to move to a static site. 🫠 https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/95636
