You’re doing a great job so far. Thanks for the update.

Why is Cloudflare so bad?

Thank you for your efforts, work and results. Those "attackers" only deserve disgust.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

I'm learning a lot by following lemmy.worlds actions. Appreciate the transparency!

Where can we donate toward server costs?

Damn these script kiddies.. I don't like Cloudflare at all but it does its job well. It may just be my paranoia, but putting a single entity in control of so many websites seems dangerous. I think we have all learned about the intentions of big corporations. But hey, it's better than being taken down tbf.

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.

I wonder now with the semi-adversarial/semi-cooperative nature between lemmy instances, if wer'e not going to see more DDOS and other types of raids happening because a different instance has an ax to grind against yours. Say between you defederated them, or they consider your instance too big etc.

It's not ideal, but there's not a whole lot of options out there for DDoS mitigation.

ty for all ur hard work ♥️

I joined July 1 for obvious reasons, I love it here.

I'm asking how many times has lemmy had to deal with these kinds of attacks prior to the "Date shall not be named"

Cause it kinda seems pretty coincidental for the amount of times I've been forced to be "offline" on this platform is gd laughable.

I thumbs up good content always.

Maybe is that Reddit dude, jealous of Lemmy's increasing popularity.

I put this site behind cloudflare in response to this post. Other than having to change SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, it seemed easy. I turned on bot fight mode and I'm using the managed WAF ruleset that comes with the free tier. Any configuration recommendations anywhere in the panel?
