If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.

My biggest problem with CloudFlare is that very often they don't play nicely with VPN.

Thanks a lot for all the work you folks are doing to keep this instance up.

I assume you are rotating ip addresses after swapping to cloudflare?

Nice try, Mr. Huffman.

Yeah, first make sure it doesn't show anywhere anymore

It went down again, lol. For like an hour or so, right after I claimed it was working for me. Go figure. :B

Whats the motivation to DDOS? How mutch is specific malice to lemmy or lemmy.world itself and how much is genaric.

Not sure if it’s related, but today on Mastodon, I’m unable to upload photos. Also can’t see pics from other users. Profile pics are mostly greyed out too.

Script Kiddies are definetely some of the saddest people on the internet. If you're gonna be an unethical hacker at all, actually do it. Don't be a sissy.

Yeah, this is just growing pains for any website. Get popular enough for it to be "fun" to target. Then get enough data that it's "profitable" to target. Etc. And the usual way to deal is to first use an external solution at least until it becomes too expensive due to traffic volume. Then make your own solutions for problems you can solve yourself and pay external companies for the ones you can't.

thank you guys for your work! is it possible to disable the cloudflare analytics/telemetry aka cloudflareinsights?

What solution were you using before Cloudflare?
