Happy birthday! And thanks for working on that so quickly especially on your birthday.
Just enjoy your birthday! Sweet 21.
Really, they’re 21 and managing such a large instance? Impressive. Is that true?
Definitely not 😄
Well you don’t look a day over 21…
❤️
Your name is a different color in my client. Why is that?
bc I made your client
No way…
Frantically looks up the app.
Wow. Ah, Nice job. Thanks. I spend a lot of time using it every day.
He is the CEO of lemmy.
Happy birthday!
We saw a brief similar traffic spike approximately an hour ago, but it dropped off pretty quick. It seemed to focus on our mlmym front end and briefly overloaded our backends for a minute.
All the suspicious ips I've checked so far, are owned by chinese cloud providers (huawei, alibaba, tencent, etc)
We've been dealing with these too at lemmy.ml, don't sweat it, we'll figure it out. Happy bday! Hope it was a good one.
Happy birthday! 🎂
Happy birthday! Thanks for all your hard work.
Suspicious timing considering that we have had a large reddit influx.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! No big deal at all!
Thank you for taking time out of your birthday to get lemm.ee back online. I hope the rest of your day goes great. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!!! <3
Happy birthday!

Happy: the prequel
Happy Birthday!
Well, happy birthday! Sucks about this...
Huh, I hope it wasn't me with my constant Summit (Lemmy client) refreshes (I was having issues with that app so I was doing a lot of API requests I guess) 🤣
Happy birthday! 🥳
Happy birthday. Check out fail2ban.
I don’t go to this school, but this seems like a particularly strange instance to attack. Were they scrapers? Which is also an incredibly strange thing to do. Spinning up an instance and directly pulling 6 years of content would be far easier.
I read somewhere that the perpetuators are likely getting some practice in before attacking their actual targets. Lemmy instances just happened to be unlucky enough to be among the victims chosen for this rehearsal.
your birthday is the ides of march? sick 🤟
Have a happy rest of your birthday sunaurus!
that's crazy, happy birthday!!!!
It seems this borked access for third party apps and the different front ends for Lemmy webpage. It is just showing network error
Thank you for being born!
Happy birthday
Nice work! But remember, there are other instances, and as far as I know your users enjoy your services for free. Take it easy along the way.
Are the bot checks interfering with third party apps? I have problems connecting with voyager but on browser it's fine after completing the bot checks
Same here. My android app and the front ends I use for the webpage can't connect to lemmee still.
I'm curious about steps you took in reaction to this, of course if sharing compromises the mitigation then by all means, you don't have to
and/or also how do you learn about managing attacks like these ?
Happy Birthday! I’m using Voyager and experienced some issues and downtime as well. Sneaky bots.
Happy birthday!
No problem, thanks as always for the hard work, and belated happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!! I hope it was a good one!
Happy birthday!
