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.

Tagging @ernest in case instance owners don't have a larger community in which they share news like this with each other.

I had a hard time signing in the other day as I got confused in the instances but otherwise I'm enjoying the experience browsing here using the summit app.

It's been feeling sluggish all day long as well. I've been trying to post from my phone and PC, and it seems it's really slow from time to time.
