Are we suffering attempted DDoS attacks.

omg....there are a few openings there.....

.having this site go down for an extended period would leave a significant gap in my days plans

It did for me

 

[KGIII]

I'd have a bit of free time, and probably immediately find something to fill it.

I'd have to go and get a life

Download a free and open source life.

Still having problems on site.

Create one post can't do another and get...Oops! We ran into some problems. Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. Then I get ...cloudflare is checking your browser...not good.

Welcome to my world.

Hmm, wonder if that's the cloudflare stuff causing it.

 

[Condobloke]

I go the oops!!...etc etc first thing this morning.

I rebooted....which should have made no difference, (but just for the record I did)

and then it behaved itself as far as the oops! was concerned

YMMV

I have no problem with the 5 second wait......that is a good thing.

I'm using Cloudflair on FF and this is the only site I have this problem with and it's been happening for awhile.

 

[Condobloke]

@Bartman do you have another browser installed?....if you have Brave, give it a go?

 

[Deleted member 137406]

No but the same thing happens with the oops on the Wife's Windows 10 computer with the new Edge browser which is chrome or chromium.

 

[Condobloke]

Therefore, the site has an ever so slight problemo !

Why the hell is someone jacking with the Linux.org forum.

They should be jacking with facebook and twitter where whoever would irritate a whole hell of a lot more people than are at Linux.org.

Someone with a serious chip on their shoulder (other than their head)

 

[Deleted member 137406]

Well lets hunt whoever down and give whoever a good old fashioned ass kicking.

 

[Condobloke]

Preferably with a baseball bat...or similar

i'm not getting the DDoS checks anymore, can we definitively say whether it was an attack or just elevated traffic?

 

[Brickwizard]

can we definitively say whether it was an attack or just elevated traffic

I keep watch on the number's online, It usually ranges from 250 to 550 or there about, every time it has gone down, the numbers prior to collapse jump to just over 1000 then a few more Bang down it goes, so I would say yes it's an attack.

@Rob has lowered the settings from high to medium, you may still get the wait page but less often

 

[Deleted member 137406]

Yep so far all is well at my end none of neither.
