UBlock helps to stop that script.

Would that be by default, or do I need to enable something specific

from the blog in question

On January 21, commit ^bbf70ec (warning: very large) added gyrovague.com to dns-blocklists, used by ad blocking services like uBlock Origin. This is actually beneficial, since if you have an ad blocker installed, the DDOS script’s network requests are now blocked. (It does not stop users from browsing to my blog directly.)

can't find anything from a quick look that confirms this list is used by default in ubo

I don't see that particular list, but the same filter is present in EasyPrivacy from EasyList, which is enabled in uBO by default.

It's by default easylist-privacy list is default

I don't know more than what the wiki article linked to. It says UBlock blocks it. It doesn't say any more than that.

from what I heard, the default one is enough. Although I haven't checked it
