    fail2ban is good for preventing spam and DDOS on authenticated endpoints, but it’s harder to prevent attacks on public endpoints against a botnet or even a lazy proxy chain spam, which is why cloudflare adds some cookies and a buffer to handle a wave of new connections and maintain an address rank to drop any bad clients.

    Although that being said, cloudflare can be bypassed via other timing tricks and even just using a specific request chain to get fresh cf cookies to avoid getting blocked.

    I’ve actually been bumped by lots of wasps and bees in rather funny ways, thankfully with no sting. They are more likely to be aggressive the closer you are to their hive. Otherwise the foragers usually try to avoid confrontation unless challenged.

    The most insane one was definitely when I was hanging around a sunflower field where there were hundreds of bees and hornets flying around, but to them I was just another plant with no nectar, so they would just move on.

    The other funny one was when I was eating an apple and like 5 bees landed on it while I was biting down on it because apparently they liked the smell and tasted the sugary apple juice on the surface. They seemed unbothered by the fact it was moving around and me not trying to push my luck begrudgingly let them have the rest of the half eaten apple lol.

    That was probably inspired by the USA’s crappy national curriculum system of forcing kids to learn and use the lattice method which is 100% some sort of scam to make it look like math illiterate children are passing class and failing upwards.

    I mean seriously, we’ve been using base 10 arab system for a millenia, but you’re trying to tell me the department of education came up with a better method of drawing a damn chi square matrix abomination that makes even the two millenia old roman numeral system look good in comparison.
