Your mirror.

Other mirrors.

The Debian bug tracker – triggering apt-listbugs breakage¹.

Various Invidious instances.

Other bug trackers.

Other services.

Basically everything.

At least when it is something AI developers or bots think they can obtain
some valuable data from.

It is complete insanity and idiocy.

Maybe those companies should pay for your mirror.

And then you need additional tools to stop AI bots from scraping your
site. These additional tools cause a load on my laptop and countless other
client machines, as they are forced to do some real work before they can
access. Maybe those companies should pay for the compute power spent on
those client machines as well.

Current behavior of those companies and AI systems is beyond anti social,
if you ask me.
