Seems like the CloudFlare protection still isn't enough. I feel sorry for them to have to deal with this on a Sunday

Ah, seems it's down again: http://lemmy-status.org/

My understanding (from running an instance) is that this isn't something cloudflare is going to help with, it's the database on these instances locking up. It happens to my and multiple other instances too, and i have monitoring from multiple sources so I get notified and can restart the server/docker containers. Improvements should come in the next lemmy versions.

Even better, so they might consider getting rid of CF at some point

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean they'll probably benefit from some sort of CDN, and CF being free really helps keep costs down. Are there alternatives you'd suggest?

It kind of amazes me that they've not been using one up until recently given their size. I'm anti-lemmy.world but I do sympathise with their technical issues.

Interesting, I assumed that CF was paid, but it seems indeed to be free for the basic tier. That's quite amazing, actually https://lemmy.nz/comment/1118790

Of course, as soon as I post, LW is back. That's good!

Remember a lot of even the largest lemmy instances are hosted on a single vps. No redundancy, no scaling, and the admins barely know what they’re doing. Its volunteer work done as cheaply as possible.

This is true!

My instance just switched to a HA database setup :)

HTTPS not working for me on Firefox Android ☹️

Seems strange

[–] vintprox@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's never "[Solved]", LOL.

Yeah, well, it will be unsolved again and again, because that's the nature of servers - they experience downtime. I'm just looking ahead of myself and how badly this tag will age for some, haha.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I see. Let's say that for the day I posted the issue, it's now solved
