This is the first time I’m experiencing downtime for this instance, so I appreciate that a lot. Is anyone else currently experiencing troubles? Anyone know what is going on?
Hey all, most of today’s outage was caused by me. I implemented Anubis in attempt to differ some bot/scrapping traffic. We are presently serving over 350 million requests per month and its starting to show in the stability in the instance. I will be switching to the horizontal scaling approach in hopes to stabilize things more.
I’ll also be providing an long overdue update once I get everything back under control.
Sorry for the stability issues as of late, you all deserve better.
The uptime of this instance has been amazing, you’re doing a great job.
you are doing an excellent job. there is no better. don’t beat yourself up.
TheDude appears to be aware of the situation:
It would be nice if these sorts of things were announced on !main@sh.itjust.works in addition to Matrix.
To be fair, it’s difficult to post on a server that’s down. Matrix is a good secondary. I didn’t know there was a matrix instance
Yeah, I feel like most users don’t know about the Matrix instance.

True, although recently there have been issues affecting only the default frontend, with alternate frontends like tesh.itjust.works and mobile apps being unaffected.
It’s not only a fair response, but also an impossible request.
It seems to have stabalised already: https://lemmy-meter.info/d/GeoFE5WIz/instance-health-breakdown?var-lemmy_instance=sh.itjust.works&%3BorgId=1&%3Brefresh=1m&orgId=1
The weird part is, navigating from any loaded tab is often instant, but opening a new tab gets treated like a DDoS attack.
