Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Most of these ‘attacks’ are targeted at the database, but some are more ddos-like and can be mitigated by using a CDN. Some other Lemmy servers are using Cloudflare, so we know that works. Therefore we have chosen Cloudflare as CDN / DDOS protection platform for now. We will look into other options, but we needed something to be implemented asap.

For the other attacks, we are using them to investigate and implement measures like rate limiting etc.

      Have you considered drugs? Maybe a prescription to some anti depression meds or maybe just some magic mushrooms. I hope that your life becomes more tolerable and you can find some kind of balance.

      Honestly I’ve never felt happy to start with.

      I have family members who have struggled with anger and depression. In my limited sample, the ones who have never been happy have had chemical imbalances, and most of the issues went away when their chemical systems were managed. If you haven’t spoken with a doctor about it, you should really consider it. There isn’t a lot to lose, and there’s an awful lot to gain.

      Whatever you decide, good luck and I hope you can find some inner peace.

      This reminded me of my first time using mushrooms. I realized I had never known love or peace.

      I dunno if respect from online strangers does anything for you, but you have mine. Takes some maturity to get to the point where you are.

      I am curious about how you perceive various things, since this kind of thinking is a bit foreign to me, but a public forum is likely not the best place to dive in. I am curious about what kinds of things you find satisfying, what you imagine happiness to be like, what kinds of things you desire, etc. General human condition kind of things.

      I imagine that lots of people feel like you do, but we, as a society, don’t understand it yet. I think if we did, we could make progress. Maybe I’m too idealistic, i dunno
