Is there an update to Lemmy you’re waiting on? Is there a Cloudflare upgrade? What’s the game plan going forward for resolving these constant outages? Knowing that there **is **a plan going forward would be a great relief to me, and probably some others.
I already read that. That states the problem, but not if they have a plan to address it.
Because there kinda is no one fix. Look at all websites even ones run by multibillion dollar companies, the do not have 100% uptime. It is impossible
Resolving the issues they are facing is like playing a game of whackamole. You knock one problem down, another one appears and repeat till adnausem.
The good thing about the fediverse is that you can go to any other Lemmy instance and still access the communities of Lemmy.world.

Okay, but they also don’t run at sub-50% uptime at peak hours, so clearly there is a middle ground of “We can’t do anything” and “We should be doing something”
I can’t help but feel “Wait until the attacker gets bored” is a bad plan, and I’m rather hoping that they have an actual plan in place of that.
I mean, by nature you can only react on stuff like DDOS attacks. As far as I understand, when the load from a certain network is spiking you try to drop packages or block the origin all together – depending on the situation. However, oftentimes bigger attacks swap their origin easily, which makes it hard to react.
Its simply not that easy to pursue a bigger plan.
