45.157.179.215 -- who is running this search engine?

I don't normally log, but I was debugging my Fornax-based gemlog and turned it on to see that someone's been fetching from most ridiculous URLs here.

To be fair, by accident, my gemlog will return the entire gemlog index for any URL instead of an error message. And all relative links will work from there

I first noticed this crawler a few months ago asking for strange urls like "gemini://spell.mywire.org:1960/~stack/tilde.team/~stack/game/0227.gmi' -- which actually work.

I thought it was kind of funny, but I think it's been crawling for months. I accidentally created a bottomless pit.
