Lemmy.world update: Downtime today / Cloudflare (lemmy.world)

Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Most of these 'attacks' are targeted at the database, but some are more ddos-like and can be mitigated by using a CDN. Some other Lemmy servers are using Cloudflare, so we know that works. Therefore we have chosen Cloudflare as CDN / DDOS protection platform for now. We will look into other options, but we needed something to be implemented asap.

For the other attacks, we are using them to investigate and implement measures like rate limiting etc.

sure, but there's so many ddos attacks and other scans and probes its nearly required to put something in front of the server

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Why don't you close the subscription to Lemmy.world so new people will subscribe to smaller server so that if one has problem, not the majority of the people are affected by it? Isn't this supposed to be one of the main characteristic of the fediverse?

We was behind Cloudflare since day one 😀 And even on Cloudflare there is not the origin IP its again reverse proxied, and we are small site compared to lemmy.world 😜
