Just another reason everyone needs their own site.
Individuals aren't typically popular enough for traffic to bring their site down, and if they are, chances are they have the $$$ to pay for adequate hosting.
You can't have huge swathes of the internet attempting to access one single site, can you?? Come on.
That's not the way it's supposed to be.
Blab worked fairly well between 11 PM and 2 AM when I went to bed last night. Now it's under heavy load again, although not nearly as bad as it has been for the last few days.
Someone also pointed out that Cloudflare is owned by Google, so Blab will have to build out their own DDoS mitigation infrastructure too if Cloudflare boots them. The DDoS is being caused by legit traffic right now, so Cloudflare isn't helping anyway.
