acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i Ahrefsbot acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i Baiduspider acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i Cliqzbot acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i DotBot acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i MJ12bot acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i Semrushbot acl u-robots-bad hdr(User-Agent) -i YandexBot https://git.enlightenment.org/ is back online.
