It's day 3 of Tapa Week, and I decided to go with a variant I created a couple of years ago. Enjoy this Tapa (Cloned Clues)!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 region is entirely shaded. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. Identical clues must have identical arrangements of shaded cells around them.
