Just give up, you morons

On 2016-12-19, this blog came under attack by some kind of botnet. They were trying to log in to the admin interface, but Cerber (an excellent plugin, by the way) locked out their subnets. It is not worth blocking the IPs at the router level, because they come from all over. So I will just let Cerber do its work.

I got tired of getting emails warning me that another IP had been blocked, so I disabled logins. Now the bots will just get a 404. In case you are interested, below is a partial list of what was blocked. There were about 200 separate attempts, spaced out so as not to trigger rate controls, before I welded the door shut.
