On Saturday, I sent a message [1] to the party responsible for slamming my Gemini server [2] (one among several) and I've yet to receive any response. I removed the block from the firewall, and I haven't seen any requests from said bot. It looks to have been a one-off thing at this time.
Weird.
But then again, this is the Intarwebs, where weird things [3] happen all the time [4].
At this point, I'm hoping it was fixed silently and it won't be an issue again.
