    retooted Dillo browser

    Moved our git web server from cgit to stagit to reduce load on the server caused by crawlers, as it only uses static files.

    git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/

    Roughly 99.9% of requests are bots fetching commits and files over and over again at a rate of 50 req/s despite our robots.txt excluding any crawler. Stagit only exposes a small number of files and commits so they are not reachable to bots.

    Sadly, many anti-bot protections rely on JS or fingerprinting which come with their own set of problems.
