Sounds pretty suspicious to me.

Yeah, idk what it is. It seems like a weak attack ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ one account every few seconds. Nothing that would topple any server except a raspberry pi.

I can see it's an amateurishly written script, making it easy to pick out in the firewall. Oh well

Sounds manageable.

I had some kind of cloudflare error message today but maybe unrelated.

Yeah that's unrelated. I moved the server to a new ip address to isolate it from my personal projects. It took a while for these changes to propagate.

Let me know if you ever need help with server admin stuff. I'm not an expert, but did web dev for 15 years and still comfortable enough on the old Linux CLI.

So far Iโ€™m good. But Iโ€™ll keep you on my Mind should this situation change.

Cool. Also if you need funds towards hosting costs, I can manage a small monthly contribution.

I noticed the main Irish mastodon instance uses this - looks very interesting (perhaps longer term)

I appreciate the thought but hosting this really doesn't take enough time for me to take any money for it. I'm just happy you're all here.
