Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users
> us[e] Akamai to block scraping
Would https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate help? Haven’t tried with Akamai, but did help with another widely used CDN that shall remain unnamed (but has successfully infused me with burning hate for their products after a couple of years’ worth of using an always-on VPN to bypass Internet censorship and/or a slightly unusual browser).

Get RSS feed for your Ko-Fi account
But before that, I had to create a development environment where I could do the coding. I used Docker and created a docker-compose.yml file on my local system to build a container. At first, I did that on an Arm based computer and the first problem appeared. Although RSS-Bridge was working fine, I couldn't get any data, and the reason was that Ko-Fi.com uses Cloudflare CDN. This is something that a lot of people had issues with in the past. RSS-Bridge solves that problem by using a special build of curl that can impersonate the four major browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari & Firefox. But unfortunately, that library doesn't work well on Arm-based systems, so I had to move to my trusty Intel-based Linux computer.
