For the last couple of days we were offline due to a DDoS attack originating from Tor.
We are now behind cloudflare (💀) but at least we are online.
We might switch to a different CDN in the future.
can we have onion link without cloudflare but with PoW defense enabled?
This sounds very good.
Thanks for your work!
Kudos for getting back online.
How can you work on a desktop that’s animated moving in the background? That would drive me crazy
Oh I just put that there for the video 😆
thanks based admin
lol, just days after this post about coralling rebels onto cloudflare: https://monero.town/post/3622853/5036178
is there a wider attempt at stymying monero’s grassroots ecosystem?
if so it seems to be mid-tier, not state-level. and it has been piecemeal, an exchange here and there, and the flood attack last month.
but the use of tor exploits is above the average schmo and as @gogr8 says someone was comitted. we must be doing something right!
wider attempt
For sure. Trocador, monerocom & haveno have also been hit. No idea why they would attack this tiny lemmy instance but I’ve learned a lot so I guess I should be grateful.
Thank you Admin for your work.
I confess, I was beginning to lose hope. 🫡
It’s still pretty broken on mobile and federation doesn’t work but it is a start :)
No reason to lose hope, I started this for ideological reasons and I won’t just stop now because of a DDoS.
Someone went well out of their way to meticulously plan and then devote resources towards disrupting this for many days. I honestly can’t think of any better evidence in support of the necessity of having this community.
