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

Where can we donate toward server costs?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

That's for for always keeping everyone up date. Sucks that you have these people wanting to DDOS a free community of people, I don't get it.

Either way thank you. Now to just somehiw find a decentralized version of CloudFlare so we don't have to deal with there trackers that they have.

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?

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.

Welcome to the internet, glad there’s a working solution

I hope lemmy.world can avoid using Cloudflare which goes against the spirit of Fediverse as it's just an objectively evil company.

Cloudflare isn’t bad per se, but having huge amounts of the public internet behind a centralized provider is bad for the flexibility and resiliency of the internet as a whole.

Hmmm, we're getting a fuckload of web requests on our Lemmy too... I think I'll enable CloudFlare too! :)

If you decide to use Akamai, hmu. I'm not an Alamai guru, but I do it professionally.
