What are the advantages of using postgres? It makes radarr/sonarr faster?

Yep Cloudflare protects against classic DDoS (like many clients doing a lot of small requests). Here attacks are performed presumibly by users that know very well how the Lemmy’s backend works and where bottlenecks are, so that with a small number of well made requests they are able to mess up the backend and Cloudflare doesn’t notice it

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I don’t know how to express how much this shocked me

I want to know more 😳 do you have something? A link?

Wireguard (if you can open udp ports)

I started with proxmox and I’ll continue to use it because it’s very nice to use. As backup I use an rclone mount that is shared via NFS (everything inside a container) and I set that NFS share as a backup storage in proxmox. I think it is a bit convoluted but works fine enough for now.

Another important aspect of a reverse proxy is that it helps you with SSL. So your services (like Plex or whatever you want) doesn’t support SSL but you can manage to do it with the reverse proxy

I had the same problem months ago and I simply did clear and scrub. Never occurred again even if I noticed that the drive that failed is slower then the others (average access time is the double). I’ll change it in a couple of months, hoping it lasts until then

I suspect it works!

Anyway, based on how federation works, you are actually adding load to lemmy.world and other instances with your own instance. This is counterintuitive and it is because federation doesn’t work well as for due to scale problems.

What service has been attacked?

As what I understood, actually it makes things worse. This shouldn’t be the case because the concept of fediverse itself is to have a lot of many instances communicating with each other.

The problem is the Lemmy is still a young project and we weren’t expecting all this explosion in users. activityPub implementation doesn’t scale well for now and so adding a new instance theoretically makes things worse.

But this is something that devs have as a high priority, in my opinion, because is very important to have instances correctly communicating with each other, otherwise the concept of federation falls.
