@prologic I didn’t want to hijack @bender’s thread: There’s two things that feel a bit unexpected regarding the requests of 159.196.9.199 in my logs:

1. It doesn’t respect HTTP 301 and instead asks for the same URL every time, thus needing a redirect.
2. Is this *one* Yarn pod or several? I’m seeing multiple requests from this same IP with *different user agents*. It’s not a lot, just about 5 different ones (every couple of minutes), but I thought that Yarn only issued *one* such request? 🤔 You know, when several users follow the same feed, Yarn would only fetch that feed once?

@movq Maybe they're not all coming from yarnd, but one of them could be from yarns, the search engine. Just a wild guess. My twtxt.txt access log doesn't record the source IP address, so I don't know.

And aren't there any other hosted yarnd instances? Maybe it was never really implemented, but I remember @prologic thought about hosting dedicated yarnds for others in the past. Could be well over a year ago, not sure.

Another possibility might be a forgotten development instance idling around (or not so much :-D) in the background. I think the default user agent points to txtxt.net, not example.com. At least when I last checked the yarnd code. That was also several months ago.
@lyse Hmmm, the user agents indicate two different pods. 🤔 Most of them are twtxt.net, though, only one user is something else. 🤔

@movq Is the other yarn.mills.io?
