[discussion] collector.pi.spectrum.net #289

Closed dnmTX closed 3 years ago

dnmTX commented 3 years ago

Dan @lightswitch05 just to pay my bill i got like 150 blocked requests,which results to more CPU processing and my lappy sounds like it's about to fly away. Looking at the scripts involved there isn't anything suspicious,from what i can understand of course. Can you take a second look please. Thanks 👍

I know. My point was for you to take a second look and see if it's really needs to be blocked. It could be just some error handling domain and nothing to do with data mining. In general,makes me wonder,they have all my info already,what else they're going to collect?

Allright,i guess it stays. Thanks for the detailed information. I'll see if i can stop it from making so many requests with AdGuard. Go get some coffee 😄 👍 Closing....
