Inconvenient facts make the ruling classes heads explode.
A loving family is the greatest thing that will ever happen to you.
It is also the greatest legacy you will leave behind on this earth.
Be patient, be nice, make yourself a better person, and good thing eventually happen.
We already sit behind the Akami DDOS prevention system. I do not think cloudflare would be any more effective.
When I look at the server - I am seeing the same behavior I saw when the big Lemmy instances started upgrading to v18. And these recent problems started when they started upgrading to release candidates for v18.3 - So I think this is a Lemmy federation problem not DDOS attacks.
We have plenty of bandwidth - do not even coming close to using it all. When we have these problems I am seeing spikes in CPU usage (normally 10% but spikes to 150% when we see these issues) and Disk I/O.
We plan upgrading the version of Lemmy we are running this weekend to see if that makes a difference.
We are at the investigate and explore stage. Nostr is not ready for us yet, but the day will come when it is and we want to be in an informed position to upgrade you to a better platform.
At the moment using Lemmy as a foundation, your free speech is subject to benevolent dictators like myself.
I think that is wrong.
I want to make my role as benevolent dictator obsolete, so you are truly free. I think Nostr can help do that.
You are welcome to join in the exploration and discussion, or sit back and wait till we find viable solution and we will map out a way forward.
We are glad you joined.
It simply you do not mindlessly parrot the regime narrative, therefore you must be destroyed.
OK down votes are turned off.
If and when "controversial" ranking becomes available we will revisit.
And they need to he on drugs for the rest of their lives much to the delight of Big Pharma
We are defederated from lemmy.juggler.jp till we find out what is going on.
I can see a lot of their users are being blocked by other instances.
Thanks for the heads up.
I cannot tell you how much these comments warm my heart.
Thanks so much for being part of Exploding Heads
Which country are you from?
I will use yours for the time being and see how Nostr evolves
