Codeberg appears to be under a DDoS attack

I hope this doesn't lead them to make Cloudflare a middleman. That would drive me away from their service.

Sourcehut faced a similar issue awhile back and managed to avoid needing to go behind Cloudflare. Hopefully Codeberg has the same outcome.

Yeah, IMHO, Codeberg's biggest selling point is the warm-fuzzies and independence.

Reminds me of the Codeberg/SourceHut DDoS of January last year. CodeBerg even helped out SourceHut by hosting their status page. SourceHut ended up adopting Cloudflare.

If you reread the post mortem you linked, you'll see they reached out to CF for a quote but ultimately ended up not picking them, despite the very generous free offer.

My bad, good catch.

Perhaps some law enforcement organization in Europe will be able to investigate this and the other recent attacks against Codeberg.

I want to be optimistic.

Any reason why they seemingly had and easier time with IPv6? A simple lack of participants in the botnet, or are there some protocol-level tricks going on?

My bet? It’s gotta be the Gitea devs! The GitHub clone wars are on.
