I'm probably going to be hugged to death on my VPS but here we go.

I have a dogfooded bookmarking service ( think HN with tags and a personal mode (= See all items you've upvoted or added)) which can also track RSS. I once added some people from Cloudflare on it and forgot about it till today.

Fyi, https://hnrss.org/user?id={username} is how comments of certain authors are crawled.

Should be better.

Added an improved query on the domain and limited the results to the last 6 months.

Interesting. How are tags determined?

Manual, RSS has "categories" or exact match be of any active tag on the title of a submission of a RSS feed ( with some tweaking for spaced tags)

I was thinking about a tag prediction engine. But this seems to be good enough for now.

I can also add tags for specific RSS feeds.

Eg. A c# feed would get dotnet.

Tags are't curated. Tags can be shown or hidden.

I'm not able to see the page due to a 'No Russians--Slava Ukraini' error.

Had a lot of spammers with Russian language. Implemented expanding xml-bombs, Google Captcha, hidden input fields and a couple of other things against bots.

But the block on the russian language was most effective ( and since I was dogfooding it, I didn't see the harm at the time. But it's out of scope at this very moment, yes).

Disabled it.

Can also recommend a gzip bomb (transfer encoding+content encoding, so 40GB+ easily possible). Works for most skiddies.
