AI use of GitLab

Agents are a plague to the internet and are causing massive load spikes everywhere, including peoples personally hosted git servers (that affected me too). The right thing to do is to block them: * Rate limiting AI scrapers with Nginx - eigenmagic * Banning Bots with nginx maps - eigenmagic I’m not really sure if there’s a way to distinguish between: * agent request initiated by a human and * AI scrapers (for training purposes) > I suppose I could get an API key for my agent, but I’d rather not go through the fuss. That seems like the right thing to do, since we can somewhat assume requests via that api key were at least at some point initiated by a human. And you can be held responsible if that key is being misused.
