@algernon hi! What httpd would you recommend these days? Last time I made a decision (well over 10 years ago, and driven by how awkward FCGI was with apache) I chose lighttpd which doesn’t look sensible today. Back to apache? Or nginx? I’m asking you because I figured you may have spent some time configuring them for scraper defence. Thanks!

@jmtd My top choice would be Caddy, because while its configuration has some warts, I found it to be saner than nginx's.
It's also easy to extend via Go modules (while I can extend nginx too, that'd involve C, and in this year 3191 of our Lady Discord, I do not want to write C), and has a lot of built-in and third-party modules, most of them good quality.
nginx has slightly better performance maybe, but Caddy is so much more convenient. After about a decade on nginx, it was refreshing to switch.
