Is it just me, or is old.lemmy.world still using its old IP address?

lemmy.world and m.lemmy.world

old.lemmy.world should be cloudflared, too

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

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

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

Nice try, Mr. Huffman.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

What solution were you using before Cloudflare?

Obviously cloudflares ddosing lemmy just to get some extra money
