The server running the #mercurial code hosting and a few static sites for @pidgin has been flapping all night. I just looked into it and it was a ton of traffic from alibaba cloud without any delay.
Since these sites should typically only be seen by end users I just blocked all of alibaba cloud's address space via iptables.
Instantly the load average dropped to zero and the service stopped flapping 😄
