Thanks, appreciate it 😊

Thank you! I’ve learnt so much doing this, it’s wild to me that we can pull so much traffic!

I really appreciate the kind words, thank you 🙏

“Oi, 'scuse me mate, have you got a wank loicence for that file system?”

I don’t use it currently (except on one of the front ends we use as a test) but I believe the easiest way would be to use nginx to separate the paths you want to pass traffic to, so it doesnt apply to api traffic etc, only the ui. I use traefik for piefed so I don’t know how it integrates in there yet, but I know a few people have got it working for lemmy by using the nginx paths.

There is also go-away as an alternative option.

I have made extensive use of cloudflares challenges too

There’s only one solution - you’ll have to move countries 😉

Have spun this up on blorp.lemmy.zip and blorp.piefed.zip :)

Totally missed that it was happening this year 🙈

Because I too am a billionaire fascist.

Or possibly slightly more likely its just pulling rss feeds.

Great, glad it worked 😁

Hey, this should be fixed now! I think it’ll be linked to https://lemmy.zip/post/43477994

We’re at about 1000 now, looks like a lot we’re waiting for .ee to shutdown. I guess quite a few went to piefed too

This is what we’re currently using: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex44

Enabling the proxy has massively helped to reduce our storage usage. There is some pict-rs retention stuff you can enable too if you haven’t already.

But yes Lemmy is storage hungry :)

It is something isn’t it!

Having Gazby be able to write all the code and get everything set up so we could see what was causing the issues has been amazing, and if we get some naughty traffic again we can deal with it much faster!

Can’t wait to hit 1tb of memes!

Im 90% sure that drop is related to @[email protected] doing some vacuuming
