lemmy.world and .ml down (both back up now)
lemmy.world and .ml down (both back up now)
Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff
Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)
Even more of a reason to
1 - have an account on multiple instances
2 - support multiple instances. Can't take everyone down at once!
66 0 ReplyFirst account: vlemmy.net - went down 2 days later Second account: lemmy.world - has been DDOSed twice and hacked once the week after making the account Third account: this one.
Which instance do you want me to tank next? Apparently I’m pretty good at it!

26 0 ReplyNot as extreme. But similar experience. Joined beehaw, then they defederated from some of the main instances I subbed.
Joined another one and it had a 2 day outage.
Just built my own and use the other accounts for specific stuff (ie: beehaw is dedicated to subs only in that instance now. )

2 0 ReplyLemmy.zip has been pretty boss. The admin is pretty transparent about the server and everyone the so far seem like reasonable folks.

A communications disruption can mean only one thing: invasion.
26 0 ReplyI get this movie reference. We need a baseball bat and a glass of water!
5 0 ReplyCould this be related to that massive hacking attack from earlier, where a lot of the big instanes were hacked?
2 0 ReplyI don’t know man, I was just using a Star Wars quote for shits and giggles.
5 0 ReplyThe vulnerability behind that was patched so it seems unlikely.

Are we also getting DDoSd? I'm getting constant timeouts and json errors here over the last one hour or so.
20 0 ReplyBeehaw was also down for me. Ended up opening a new account on Lemmy.ca since Beehaw seems to be taken down so often :(
9 0 ReplyThe weird ones are the every hour on the hour outages. It seems like there's some scheduled task on Beehaw's server that's restarting lemmy

Large instances need to get Cloudflare DDoS protection because it will only get worse.
17 0 ReplyThis does wonders at keeping the instance up, but breaks the mobile apps and federation functionality sadly ☹️
8 0 ReplyMy instance is using Cloudflare and has no issues with federation or mobile apps (I sent this reply with Connect).
Assuming a standard caching configuration, those services should not break under Cloudflare.
3 0 ReplyOh Damn. So the community still needs to figure it out...

But you can still DDoS with federation. I'm not sure how we'd avoid breaking the idea that anyone can make a server and start federating immediately. Federation naturally is an automated task, so can't get past this protection.

Lemmy.ml became totally unreachable 15 minutes before Lemmy.world went all "Error" page. Distant Early Warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrDj5XvZXX4
12 0 ReplyLol I was just watching some Rush videos last night, and this was one of them. Love that song.
2 0 ReplySuch a good song, and ironically I can't play the video from Canada, "The uploader has not made this video available in your country".
2 0 ReplyCan’t watch a Rush video in Canada? I’m pretty sure there’s a law against that.

Hello small instance friends :)
11 0 ReplyOne thing I like about lemmy and the fediverse-
I honestly wouldn't know those instances were down, if it was not for people posting about it, lol.
10 0 ReplyI always access from a smaller instance. I didn't even notice I was looking at older content.
6 0 ReplyBeehaw was having a lot of 502s over the last few days. Not sure if DDoS or something else, though.
5 0 ReplyLove that I can hop over to kbin (or vice versa) when this stuff happens.
4 0 ReplyThe time of lemmy named domains is over and the reign of Feddit has begun!

lemmy.ml is back up!
3 0 Replyha, i went to check wefwef app when i woke up, updated it like ok that was why. no content after. realizing I'm enjoying the lemmy/kbin stuff now and would be sad without it. i try to browse reddit but I don't want to waste my time there. I enjoy being a part of these cutting edge projects.
2 0 ReplySomeone salty against Lemmy or just being a general pain in the ass.
2 0 Replyagain??
1 0 ReplyNormally I check lemmy.ml when lemmy.world is down. It was fine in the attack that also took down lemmy.blahaj.zone, so I guess I thought it was more secure because it is The Tech Instance. I'm sad it let me down this time lol
1 0 Replydamnn this is why I can't see it. why would it happen once I'm trying to access them...
