So far I haven’t seen any attempts to change their user agents. I’ve seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I’ve left them alone.
I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I’ll eventually have to adapt my defenses.

I’ve been running Debian stable for years now on everything. My laptop runs it, my home server runs it headless with no GUI installed, my gaming desktop runs it and even my kids run it without issue.

Once it’s up and running I don’t have to worry about things breaking because of an update.
They straight up ambushed those guys. Makes me wonder if the car accident was staged specifically to attract emergency workers.
