PSA: @TencentGlobal is aggressively scraping the Internet to build yet another AI slop chatbot, DDoSing many websites in the process.
We've found that, as of last week, their scraping bots can now solve Cloudflare challenges and behave like real users while ignoring robots.txt. In the last 24 hours alone, our website received more than 3 million successful requests from Tencent bot IP addresses, plus another 1 million that were blocked by Cloudflare challenges.
These recurring DDoS attacks from Tencent have been going on for over a year, and we have been constantly adjusting our firewall rules to filter them while trying not to impact Tencent's real users. Because that is no longer possible, we're now fully blocking Tencent IP addresses, starting with ASN 132203. We recommend other sysadmins do the same.
Other ASNs displaying similar abusive behaviour will also be fully blocked from our services.
We'd also like to thank @Cloudflare for sponsoring us with Project Alexandria as of 2025, giving our sysadmin the tools to keep RPCS3's online services running without service disruptions.
Another thing that is going to be released with next version of VRC Light Volumes, is an in-game debugger tool! You'll be able to preview every volume, voxel, and point light. Works in any world that supports VRC Light Volumes.
@LuxrayGirl456@dtupper I've gotten the mod in question nuked from curseforge, as well as the github account it was using for secondary downloads, in general, check the pack for any mods that are too new / below 10k download count, and be very wary of them
@ni1chigo2115@otsune Exactly, we use those tools too, i actually really like aao for its mesh removal boxes, my point being that it is mostly the case that none of these tools get used on the vrchat store versions
