our gitlab was brought down by a DoS attack by Meta today, with 299991 requests from "meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler)". i wonder if i could sue for damages?

@[email protected] @[email protected] It's the only thing that's managed to even make me notice the overhead of running forgejo on a raspberry pi: it started querying every file in every commit of my blog history with about 70+ concurrent connections at a time, and then at some point seemed to get stuck in a loop and just kept on doing it. At least I think it did; it was still going a day later when I was in a position to log into the server and start dropping requests and my blog's history isn't that huge.
