That makes sense. I block most data-centers and that would include much of Apple's data-centers. What I am doing is of course unorthodox for a blog. This is more of a test site to show what could be done. People can pick and choose which features they like for their particular use cases.
I could some day split it out into a blog and a demo site.
No access from residential IP in Singapore. Why bother to get all sophisticated about blocking, just power down your server.
It's crazier than that. I block two entire continents. Don't worry you are not missing anything. There is a link to archive.is that mirrors the page if you are curious.
I’ll tell you why this isn’t a great experience for me. I try to actively participate on HN, and based on a title I click on posts that promise to be educational or thought-provoking. The topic of combatting bots is very much on my mind.
Instead of learning something I get a blank screen, for the crime of being interested and living somewhere you deem block worthy. Cool.
