I've taken Gentoo Bugzilla down because it was unusable anyway. The interface lagged, error logs spiked, and no updates were being processed. No point in feeding the LLM scrapers that are using thousands of different IPv4 addresses, with no obvious patterns I can see.

I'm not looking for hints. I'm not a sysadmin, and I don't have time to deal with this shit. I'm just trying to get some useful job done. I'm not supposed to have to be dealing with this. Jesus Michał von Gentoo.

The post is tagged with #AI, #No AI, #No LLM, reflecting the author's stance on artificial intelligence and large language models. It signals frustration with automated scraping that bypasses standard access controls, consuming bandwidth and resources that could support legitimate users and developers.

Gentoo's community has long relied on Bugzilla for issue tracking. With the platform offline, contributors must seek alternatives or wait for a maintenance window. The decision underscores a broader problem of maintaining open‑source bug trackers amid aggressive data collection, highlighting the need for better security and resource allocation.

Future steps may involve collaborating with Gentoo maintainers to restore access while mitigating unwanted scraping.
