Should we all buy an AI data center just to be able to catch up with
massive compute hammering on some private web server hosting a bunch of
subversion repositories and trac instances, just because they do not
obey any conventions?

That's a very time consuming task if you are dealing with a website
served by apache2 on a linux box serving subversion repositories over
HTTP (mod_dav), trac instances using mod_python, applying content
negotiation (mod_negotiation) and also using some nifty php scripts
containing things like:
<?php header("Location: http://www.somewhere.else/subdir/wiki";); exit();?>
For what it's worth. By preparing an OpenBSD box to migrate to, I think
the following pf.conf should do the trick. Science also is about trial
and error. Let's see. Don't know yet. Still questioning what damn
asshole is programming some kind of bot that aggressively and for what
reasons.
