But these days, it is getting harder, I feel. I had this Website for many years, and once I moved to Google Cloud Hosting, it was just like five bucks a month, to have a small VM running Semantic MediaWiki, and all is fine.<br /> <br /> The last few years, it is constantly overloaded, and I have repeatedly raised the VM capacity, and now I am somewhere around 30-40 bucks per month, and it is still completely overloaded. My assumption is, based on what I see otherwise, that inconsiderate AI crawlers are just massively hitting the page.<br /> <br /> There's a way to download all the content easily! You don't have to crawl the page! I want to shout, but it's useless, no one will hear it.<br /> <br /> I am already paying more than I want to for this. Taking two or three days off to move everything to a static site is probably the way forward, but that's also unfortunate. I'd really prefer to run SMW.<br /> <br /> Gnah. I need either time, or someone to do it for me. But I am not even sure what I want to do. I would love to be able to publish through the Web, which is what the wiki is really good at. I would love to keep SMW. But also I would love to push my cost down to 10 bucks or less per month again.<br /> <br /> {{tag|Simia}}<br /> &lt;noinclude&gt;{{simiapost|english}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
