Hey peeps, it seems out instance is suddenly experiencing some intermittent slowdowns, and the occasional 503 error. Typically this means we're being hit with a GenAI scraping wave and these things tend to come and go until we can trace where the load is coming from and stop it. Unfortunately I'm currently AFK so until @tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com can come online and take a look, we just have to live with it. Until then, I suggest you switch to our tesseract frontend, as it seems to be slightly more resistant in my experience, so you might not notice this as much. Alternatively you can use anarchist.nexus to keep browsing the threadiverse from the flotilla.
PS: blame stamets 😜

Ahoy! I've wrangled a few more IP ranges to contain the Tencent monsters into their Iocaine cages.
Knocking on the proverbial wood here, but we've leveled out a bit for about 20 minutes and I think we're back to normal. I'll be keeping eye for a bit just in case.

But... I already told him to keep posting! I can't backtrack now!
Can confirm anarchist.nexus is working quite well

Yeah they're scraping only us at this point.
