Looks like it's back. No longer getting issues with 1.1.1.1 and domains are being resolved!
Not for me, `dig @1.1.1.1 google.com` is returning SERVFAIL still. Their anycast config may be broken in some way (ie. the backends for some regions are down, but still advertising routes)

DDoS has two components: a) complexity: trick your servers into doing something hard b) volumetric: overwelm your servers with a lot of traffic c) volumetric part two: overwelm your servers with a lot of requests, so you respond with a lot of traffic A and C are things you can work on your self --- try to limit the amount of work your server does in response to requests, and/or make resource consuming responses requi…
I'm not very familiar with DDoS protection strategies. Can you please elaborate on what is meant in (c) by "make resource consuming responses require resource consuming requests"?
That sort of thing.

Don't think so. They used to use Cloudflare but stopped. To my knowledge, it's a single server without a database (using the filesystem as a database).
So HN is serving 5.5M page view daily (excluding API access ) on a single server without CDN and without a database? Holy crap I am thinking either there is some magic or everything we are doing in the modern web are wrong. Edit: The number is from Dang [1] > These days around 5.5M page views daily and something like 5M unique readers a month, depending on how you try to count them. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/i…

Re: Cloudflare was down
#347Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…
Crazily, my local name resolution started failing, because I have these names servers: 192.168.0.99, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. The first does the local resolution, but macOS wasn't consulting it because 1.1.1.1 was failing?? Crazy. When I removed 1.1.1.1 from the list, everything started working.
Re: Cloudflare was down
#348Aside from this one issue, is switching to 1.1.1.1 a good idea in your guys experience? Right now I just realized I hvae the DNS for my ISP which is probably how they inject bullshit 404 pages full of ads. What is the fastest/best public DNS in your guys experience?
