It's not. People hate large companies that have a dominant position in their industry. Usually, that's fair. However, in the case of DDoS protection, you have to have a large overbearing presence to be able to have the capacity to withstand such attacks. People don't know how to see through what's typically true for what's true in this case. Do I like having a dominant player in an industry? Not particularly. Do I understand why it's necessary in this case? Yes.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Thank you for the update!

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

You should change the public IP of the server if you haven't already

What solution were you using before Cloudflare?

ty for all ur hard work ♥️

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

How does cloudflare work? Do you install the private SSL certificate there and so cloudflare can see all traffic, including passwords, in plain text or is the path from browser through to your server still encrypted?

Thank you❤️❤️
