Just another update: I am aware that the server has been crashing, even after the upgrade (though, when it works, things are loading faster than they were before at least).
I think the main issue is the fact that we’re being pounded by bot requests, so I’ve enabled Cloudflare’s AI bot protection (federation requests should still work), and I’ll be setting up a log analyzer to look into any other sources of DDOSing, bots, and the like that may be harming server performance. If that doesn’t work, I might just need to do another server upgrade.
And, as a reminder, our kbin.earth matrix room is available here.
Is the matrix room a good place to look when I notice the site acting weird? I usually assume the problem’s because of my phone, at first.
I’m hoping, though, once I figure out the overarching issue we’ve been having, that I’ll be able to fix it, and the slowdowns and crashes will be gone.
Yes, if something is going on with the site, you could either look there, or comment there in case I don’t know about a crash or slowdown already.
