I had to lock-down my private Gitea server when I noticed my commits were taking forever, because my meager 2-CPU instance was pegged.

Tail the nginx logs, sure enough some jerk is asking for every URL for every git commit ever done, with no delays/backoffs/anything. Just hammer the ever-loving crap out of me. Lovely, GTFO!

The simplest thing to do: add HTTP Basic auth, now my git server is no longer accessible to the public. Thanks AI startups! Maybe I'll re-enable after this craze is over.
