[Solved for LW] Lemmy World and Sh.itjust.works currently down : fediverse

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems like the CloudFlare protection still isn't enough. I feel sorry for them to have to deal with this on a Sunday

Still down for me.

Ah, seems it's down again: http://lemmy-status.org/

Sh.itdoesnt.work

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My understanding (from running an instance) is that this isn't something cloudflare is going to help with, it's the database on these instances locking up. It happens to my and multiple other instances too, and i have monitoring from multiple sources so I get notified and can restart the server/docker containers. Improvements should come in the next lemmy versions.

Even better, so they might consider getting rid of CF at some point

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean they'll probably benefit from some sort of CDN, and CF being free really helps keep costs down. Are there alternatives you'd suggest?

It kind of amazes me that they've not been using one up until recently given their size. I'm anti-lemmy.world but I do sympathise with their technical issues.

Interesting, I assumed that CF was paid, but it seems indeed to be free for the basic tier. That's quite amazing, actually https://lemmy.nz/comment/1118790

Also just populate smaller instances instead of centralizing.

This this this

No no no... This, that, and those other ones...

It would probably make more sense to suggest that more people permanently move off of lemmy.world. it's growing too quickly. People don't need accounts on lemmy.world to browse lemmy.world. I'm not on it and i browse it just fine. It's heavy usage that brings it down. So setting up slts doesn't fix the problem. It's changing the curling wallpaper when the problem is the house is on fire. Don't treat the symptom. It's the fediverse. Spread out.

I always think that with every DoS, some users just create accounts on other servers, see that it's quite faster than LW, and just keep using it. But yeah, I guess at some point LW will just close registrations.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Of course, as soon as I post, LW is back. That's good!

Remember a lot of even the largest lemmy instances are hosted on a single vps. No redundancy, no scaling, and the admins barely know what they’re doing. Its volunteer work done as cheaply as possible.

[–] wings@lemmy.perthchat.org 2 points 1 year ago

This is true!

My instance just switched to a HA database setup :)

[–] fwygon@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It seems that lemmy.one is still down.

It's never "[Solved]", LOL.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems to be okay at this moment: http://lemmy-status.org/

[–] vintprox@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, well, it will be unsolved again and again, because that's the nature of servers - they experience downtime. I'm just looking ahead of myself and how badly this tag will age for some, haha.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I see. Let's say that for the day I posted the issue, it's now solved
