They were getting hit with a lot of DDoS attacks a week or two ago, that may still be going on. Also they took off faster than most instances so a lot of this is just growing pains.
many people have been bailing from the server
That’s not a bad thing, the content is shared between instances so you can get it on the other sites too. People going to other sites will hopefully help balance the load and possibly help with the growing pains. I haven’t created an account on another instance yet, but I’ve been visiting other instances when .world goes down.
It’s like a fun* little cat and mouse game, you figure out the patterns to block specific traffic, then they adapt and you start again. I even saw some users comment the other day they were being hit with false positives and blocked because the blocking was too aggressive. Fortunately there are companies that specialize in this kind of stuff like cloudflare. But that costs money so it wasn’t added until just recently, so it’s possible attacks are still getting around that.
There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it’s not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they’re dealing with. The last 2 days of logs are particularly bad 14+ hrs of partial downtime.
I noticed that all my comments here appear with a bot symbol next to them. I have three or four lemmy accounts and this only happens on world. Did I do something wrong? or do i need to do something to remove it? I’m using the sync app btw
The box is super simple, it’s just an LED that illuminates a piece of plastic with the number on it. I got one of these a few years ago and everyone else I knew that got one had the exact same number. It’s a scam to get dumb people to come down to the dealership.

My boss just did this, for a good reason as her partner unexpected and prematurely went into labour, but it did get me wondering in what other situation this is an acceptable thing to do
I worked as a landscaper just after high school and while working on a flower bed behind an apartment I stepped directly on a yellow jacket nest. Before I realized what had happened there were yellow jackets in my pant leg. I was stung well over 100 times. I was allowed to take the rest of the day off.
Have some fucking dignity and respect for others. My neighbor leaves his hound dogs to bark and howl all night long. If you do the same, fuck yourself.
Check your local laws, but in most places you can call and report dogs that are barking at night. You can also usually report a dog that is barking constantly for 15min or more during the day.
I feel so lucky. My dog rarely barks. I can leave him outside and nothing. If the back door latches and he can’t get back in he’ll give a couple barks to alert me. He occasionally barks when we get deliveries, but that’s really rare.

I don’t want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.
Possible Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. The real fun one is if this is your first time hearing of the phenomenon and you see it again in the next couple days.
