Cloudflare / captcha on ED is kinda clunky
wowdamelon.
Also, aside from having to complete a captcha on the wiki it's been running more smoothly than ever and hasn't had the intermittent outages. Over 10,000 broken images have been restored. It's only a small drop in the bucket as it has to be done arduously one at a time. Once better tools become available large swaths of the missing images will return quickly. As for the missing articles, quite a few have been restored. I'd like to get my hands on a list of what's still needed so I can track them down on the archive.

Yeah it's running great, I just like to nag. Also maybe you have not yet noticed that linking to images on ED is broken for some people.

I hijacked the wiki and was cucked by ethan ralph.
Honestly there isn't atm.This
Image was shown broken to me until I completed a captcha on ED. I get that it's necessary to avert ddos but there has to be a better way. @aediot
The main "attack" is that someone found a way to continuously spam the random page, search page, etc. Which means until I find the specific way to defend against whatever they're doing cloudflare is the only thing saving us from 95% downtime right now.
Fuck.
I wonder if its kevin mann

Mfw it's just kevin mann physically beating one of our servers to death
Kevin Mann couldn't hack a gameboy.
But he sure could hire an Indian script kiddie to DDoS.

Did the attacks start after he got set on the main page?
Nah, it's been the past few weeks
Bringing down ED is still a thing it seems.

Historically speaking, only the admins have been successful in taking down EDF. With that said, the enemy's within the wire.
The enemy within is the most dangerous enemy.

The admins do it every now and then so yeah
