Those services are on different so far mostly independent systems.  If
you send us your address to [email protected] we can
look to see if it has been included in a ban list.  It might be that
your ISP has been blocked.  Won't know until we look.

The GNU & FSF servers have been under constant attack for months and
months.  It has become the new normal.  And AI scrapers have created a
massive proxy botnet army that hammers away at the systems endlessly.

At one point we were blocking 5 million addresses.  I think we must
block more.  At least one company is proud of their abuse and claims
to have 150 million smart TVs in their proxy pool making it hard to
avoid scraping.  They are proud of this.  This is the new normal.

Unfortunately the systems are not broken.  It is the world that is
broken.  And we do not have the leverage to fix the world.

Bob
