Note: we just did a #Fedibock of several instances:

➡️ mastodong[.]lol
➡️ activitypub-troll[.]cf
➡️ misskey-forkbomb[.]cf
➡️ repl[.]co

Several admins have seen these instances being involved in some nasty attacks: They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll [.]cf to overwhelm instances with Mastodon server calls.

An odd Fediverse-specific type of denial of service attack.

All blocked. Will block more if they sprout up,

There might be a planned downtime tomorrow 14:00 CET. I am still figuring out if it is necessary to swap the NVME storage drive of the server and am in contact with the hosting company.

Please prepare for about 4-6 hours downtime to allow raid resync.

It might be much shorter, but I feel more comfortable with that prognosis.

Also if you know your way around NVME replacement and raid resync I am open for suggestions on how to do this, maybe it is possible to resync the system while it is running, last time I did not manage to do this and had to use a rescue live #Linux system to recover.

Details on the time scheduled in your timezone:
