I’ve added jenny.nya.pub, fun.with.kyun.li, and red.computersforpeace.net to our instance blocklist.
- Comment on More DDOS(?) traffic 2 months ago:
Another web scraping bot blocked.
- Comment on More DDOS(?) traffic 2 months ago:
So this is still going on now. I’ve expanded the block to catch more of the dodgy traffic.
- Comment on More DDOS(?) traffic 2 months ago:
Not from Australia.
- Comment on More DDOS(?) traffic 2 months ago:
IP? No. Country, ASN and user agent? Yes. Which now will receive a captcha.

Yes, and that has put a smile on my face.
- Comment on Welcome to Country booed by neo-Nazis at Melbourne Dawn Service 3 months ago:
Saying this is not racist. It’s not “neo-Nazi” views. You claim it is as an excuse to be intolerant towards those people. No matter how you try to sugar coat it, you are being intolerant.
Except these are views held by self identitifed neo-nazis. Just because non-nazis also hold that view, doesn’t change they fact they are neo-nazi views.
There will be no tolerance of nazis or their offensive beliefs here. To that end I’ve revoked your mod role. Further antagonism will result in a ban. I’m not interested in discussing this. If you continue to trolling while trying to give the impression of good faith discussion, you’ll be banned.
- Comment on Error when subscribing to a community on another server 3 months ago:
Sorry, what do you mean by “entered aussie.zone at the prompt”? At a guess you’ve browsed direct to lemmy.ml and clicked subscribe there, instead you should access that community via the aussie.zone site here: aussie.zone/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
- Comment on LW delay is growing again 3 months ago:
We’ve now caught up with LW, should stay in sync barring any issues or massive growth in activities from LW:

Ha just finished watching a movie and was going to post this, you beat me :)

Still on track to be caught up late tomorrow :)
- Comment on LW delay is growing again 3 months ago:
At the rate we’re catching up, I think we’ll be all caught up Saturday some time:

It’s a simple tick box in the admin settings interface. Trivially easy to enable, and presumably disable. Doesn’t appear to even require a service restart.
- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
It’s not so much about cost, but impact on user experience when the server is busy serving non-logged in users.
- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
It’s not usually a concern, but having this in place would have mitigated the recent “attacks” we experienced without me having to do anything.
- Comment on Go Private? 3 months ago:
I’m not talking about making this community private. Its valuable as is.
0.19.11 adds the ability for an instance to not display content to non-logged in users. Non-AZ users would retain access to all AZ homed communities etc.

- Comment on LW delay is growing again 3 months ago:
As posted elsewhere, LW admins have enabled concurrent outgoing federation ~12 hours ago which has greatly improved things:
- Comment on !ask@lemm.ee, an Ask community that can be used by Aussie.zone! 3 months ago:
They’ve turned this on overnight after it came up in an admin chat channel, we’re no longer falling behind but are catching up at a good rate. Once caught up, federated activity from LW -> AZ should be pretty snappy and remain that way.
- Comment on Communities on the Home page 3 months ago:
Yep, /c/meta is the perfect place to discuss this. Or anything else meta relating to AZ.
- Comment on Upgrade incoming 3 months ago:
Have reached out to LW admins, they’ve enabled 2 send threads… looking better now… will keep an eye on it.
- Comment on 🤔 Does my Lemmy instance support video streaming? 4 months ago:
Thanks, I hadn’t seen this one. I’ve updated our nginx config and AZ now passes the test on that page. No idea if it will help with GIFs etc.
- Comment on Issues 23/3/25 4 months ago:
And for anyone curious… blue line is traffic from a country we don’t normally see much traffic from. The unusual spike, then drop when I blocked the specific sources:
- Comment on Issues 23/3/25 4 months ago:
The traffic stopped a few hours back, from all IPs at once. Definitely seems to have been some sort of deliberate action.
- Comment on Issues 23/3/25 4 months ago:
The unusual traffic all appeared to be coming from one location on the internet, with the same user agent string. Any traffic from that network will now receive a captcha from Cloudflare. I’m not aware of any lemmy instances hosted there, but will keep an eye on things.
- Comment on Issues 23/3/25 4 months ago:
For some context, CPU usage jumped when the traffic started… and dropped after the block was applied:

- Comment on Polling on treatment of asylum seekers. 5 months ago:
Not sure how I should feel that the bubble I live in seems far more accepting and empathy towards asylum seekers.
I don’t think the people I live/work/socialise with are particularly extreme… but according to this we’re collectively not representative of wider Australian views.
I choose to believe their sampling was flawed and somehow only sampled the worst of us.
- Comment on What Constitutes contravention of Rule 4, no ads/spamming? 6 months ago:
If you’re posting as an uninvolved third party about an event you’re interested in, it’s not an ad.
As for spam, if you post a ridiculous volume about such events it could be construed as spamming. So long as you’re manually posting this shouldn’t an issue.
Basically, don’t be trying to sell anything or abusing the AZ site.
