Sudden drop in Cloudflare bot traffic after strike on Yandex datacenter

Re:Sudden drop in Cloudflare bot traffic after strike on Yan... by timr on Sunday October 11, 2026 @08:03AM (#50042343)

Isn't this showing the percentage of bot traffic from the Yandex IP range?

If so, it isn't particularly surprising that the line would go down.

EDIT: yes, it is. Looking at the same graph for all of Russia, and there's no discernible pattern:

same for the 48h view:

USA accounts for 44% bot traffic worldwide. Russia 0.9%. Russia derangement syndrome on HN as usual.

This is true. Almost all of my website's bot traffic is from USA.

The only valid derangement syndrome is Russian derangement syndrome and I'm proud to have it

That’s a weird thing to be proud of

I don’t think it’s “bad” to have negative sentiment towards an actively warmongering country

You can't be this dense to see that axis (new/old) countries have been worse than US and west has ever been. We've conducted more honorable wars than other countries have done. Even in Iran where they murder their own protestors. It's like saying FDR and hitler are the same because they both conduct warfare. It's beyond imbecilic

You've been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly and egregiously, such as flamewar, personal attacks, and using the site primarily for political/ideological battle, all of which will get you banned here.

If you want to keep posting to HN, please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing these things.

I never said the US was exempt from this? I’m very well aware that the US has done many shameful things

You're agreeing with a person that said this; are you aware of the definition of only?

You are trying to make some other point but you aren't saying what it is. Is it that all countries are bad and so one should specifically dislike Russia? I truly don't know.

You're also being incredibly condescending

I have written

1. One Link

2. One quotation

3. ~Twelve words clarifying whether we have the same understanding of the quotation

If you think that's sufficient to conclude "incredible" condescension I think you need to look elsewhere for an explanation of what I'm expressing.

You've been reverting to old habits of egregiously breaking HN's rules lately. If you keep this up we will ban the account.

I'm not talking about a single comment or thread here, but a clear repeated pattern. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this.

Now I'm confused. Which country are you now refering to?
