Amazon's AI crawler is making my Git server unstable


Please, just stop.

Should you want to crawl my git server for some reason, please reach out to me so we can arrange for payment for hardware upgrades commensurate to your egregious resource usage.

Any and all opinions listed here are my own and not representative of any of my employers, past, future, and/or present.
