#93The UFW rule not having worked for you may have been Docker's fault.
If your gateway/webserver is running in a Docker container and you've published port 80/443, Docker will set up it's own IPTables rules, bypassing anything you've set up using UFW.

#94If you have some kind of expensive request, use fair queuing by IP address. If someone has a request pending, more requests from the same source go behind IP addresses with fewer requests. So each IP address competes with itself, not others. For some reason, this isn't done much. I have it on a site of mine. I didn't notice for a week that someone was making a huge number of requests and not even waiting for the task…
And even if you havent had time or knowledge to setup fair queuing, this attack was very light, and an awk logparsing script that append ips to a firewall would have been more then sufficient.
Certainly no need for cloudflare

#95Why is the text for this article 2.5" wide in a normal browser? It makes it annoying to read :(
turning off #blog-post's padding and the .blog-content-card's left & right margins makes the layout nice on a desktop.
