Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Preliminary articles say this was a DDoS.
A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?
def possible, cloudflare DDoS their own dashboard a few months ago with some react code
https://blog.cloudflare.com/deep-dive-into-cloudflares-sept-12-dashboard-and-api-outage/
Based on what facts?
A statement from cloudflare blamed "a spike in unusual traffic", but I guess the actual cause of the outage was a config file generated in response exceeded the max size

Technically a DoS, but not in the most common sense
So it was automation, but that automation might have been stupid the normal computer way, rather than stupid in the new LLM enhanced computer way.
