Guix page denying access

I was about to fetch the download image, and using a custom Firefox user agent, it got blocked! I thought it was down.

curl -s https://guix.gnu.org \
  -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' |
  pandoc -f html -t markdown_strict
# 403 Forbidden

nginx

But with other user agent, it works. LOL.

I liked the raw nginx error page.

lynx -dump https://guix.gnu.org | tail -n+61 | head -n15
