Having both is recommended! -a 2026-08-24T20:34:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr7dpv73wp5nzvpmv4wm4td682s7sxs7j6cal5hm5mtg3jc449xwqzyryvtdxfeslyfsz4tckag3klv2sehvduxja4caxg3sz2yqdlumqc5da2h8l Some legit services that lack user agent (UA) strings got blocked, during the latest botnet attack.<br/><br/>#Navidrome and #multiscrobbler are among those reported, but there may be others too. Please ask your service to add a UA string so we can allow their traffic! Navidrome is already pushing a fix. -a 2026-08-24T20:31:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgjp3pf8lejqnmgjepcyqjthxg4kc89682t0cklxqsjy3pym4qtxczyryvtdxfeslyfsz4tckag3klv2sehvduxja4caxg3sz2yqdlumqc5y0tc3t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsql33a5lq7pkp5t7nnpgdl2f5e3jasuqfm2qcdefcvjy0jw08nv8stle6ac'>nevent1q…e6ac</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Update: ListenBrainz is currently under attack from multiple distributed botnets.<br/><br/>We are doing our best to mitigate it, but (as almost always) they use masses of residential IPs, many UAs, and are almost impossible to block without also blocking legitmate users.
