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.

Dunno if this guy is just so stupid or is trolling at this point. Using random tech buzzwords that have no relevance to the issue.

You’ve never blockchained your decentralized DDoS backend with a bi-duplex CDN enumerator?

Well I did mitigate an attack before using quantum entanglement calibrated against the cosmological constant to mitigated carbon decay. Does that count? Oh and, blockchain and decentralized. Haha

I myself am not sure who here understands anything about blockchain technology. For you it's just NFT images and shitcoins that you associate with blockchain, isn't it? That knowledge is enough for you to understand the whole technology. Read my other comments and ask yourself first if you have a balanced information base.

For sure it’s not you. You sound like an amateur developer no-one would hire.
