Well that was fun! 🤩 I was being attacked directly (bypasses Cloudflare somehow) and whatever dafuq that was was killing my ingress and causing it to get OOM killed 😱 I was seeing 100s of requests per second!!! 😱

Here’s a visual of what happened before I firewalled off all web traffic to force it to go through Cloudflare. Don’t even ask me how my IP addresses got found out, but either this is malicious, incompetent or my wider ISP is being DDoS’d (it’s happened before).

@prologic@twtxt.net Ouch. Any insight on who that was? Or just random IPs?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Too many random IP(s), hundreds of them, many hundreds of QPS. I can only imagine some crawler(s) going crazy out there and not respecting anything at all or even remotely being nice.
