auto-remove enabled but it doesn't seem to work, so I delete things by hand whenever I remember

We know Frog probably wants to watch the speedboat races. He's been anxious ever since running out of gas the other episode. 🐸

- dev repeatedly pushes users to test upgrade
- user gives critical feedback about upgrade
- dev makes fun of user for feedback
...stay classy, F-Droid. You wonder why people don't help the project, here you go. And to think I donate, too... will have to rethink that and chat with my friends about it. Hmm.

At your urging I've upgraded to rc0 (tried both Basic and Full), I have two pain points:
- put the Repositories back in Settings where it belongs. That icon up top is confusing and out of place.
- add an option to disable the Hints. I'm completely annoyed that every screen on such a basic app has to stop and create a blocking modal to tell me what a filter is.
I like the older client UI/UX more.

thanks, did not know this trick.
One that I use to share - the comma. It can be used in a lot of places in a "from - to" mode.
mv file.txt{,md} == rename
mv file{.txt,} == strip
mv file{,.txt} == unstrip
...etc. Not a secret, useful in all sorts of work.

a technique I use which is simple and effective, but not sure if scales to your size. Just fail2ban and a honeypot of 404s.
Create an page somewhere only a scraper will find. Have that page link to a bunch of missing (404) local URLs. Don't make it obvious.
Configure fail2ban to read the access log for excessive 404s within a short period of time and the AI bot will block itself.
Ensure fail2ban has scaling block times configured (bantime.increment = true). Trap (404|444|403|400).
