The usual stretch, I am the only user that bleeds if cut, living alone
now, there are 3 or 4 others, "usefull idiots" playing in sandboxes they
theroetically can't see out of.
My web page is also this box, again playing in a sandbox so I have to
jump thru hoops to update it.
I set up iptables about 2 years back to stop the bots from mirroring it 2
or 3 times a day, burning up my upload bandwidth, and one of those bots
now has a /8 on the end, and you just have to know who owns it. :)
reads robots.txt, and then ignores it.
