lemmy.world had a DDOS in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing “Error!” page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.
Why tf aren’t they using Cloudflare for DDoS protection? The site isn’t run for-profit so it would be covered under the free tier. My homelab is proxied through Cloudflare and would be able to handle an attack better than this.
Ok so I have learned that it is always good to have a backup account or two if I am intent on getting my memes
Same but it’s tough to keep favorites synced and blocks and filters.
I wrote a tool that will help: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Let’s you copy your subs, blocks, and profile settings between Lemmy accounts.
You can run it as many times as you like and will keep adding new things.
At the minute it never removes things though, so you’d have to unsubscribe multiple places.
lemmy.ml is back online!
Great now they can continue brigading other instances
I mean, this is one way to find the vulnerabilities in your system, I guess…
it could be anything related to the datacenter outage,server,dns,apache,nginx and so on…
or DDoS
