The DDoS comes from exit nodes via clearnet so Tor PoW doesn’t work, most likely there will be a total server migration at some point that adds tor support with pow and a tor friendly frontend.

I’ll have a look, thank you!

Is this on by default after v1.5.0?

I’ve looked into alexandrite and photon before but to be honest, the install is quite messy since I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. Makes it pretty hard to figure out how to properly set these up and I’d rather start over on a new server.

The site is still being attacked. Biggest issue is the lemmy-ui crashing under the load, the server itself could just about handle it. I’ve talked to Digilol who I’ll likely hire to move town to a new server and set up proper .onion support but the current server is still pre-paid for 200 more days and even after the move it’s still possible that the lemmy-ui would go down anyways :/

If that is actually the case, the crypto portion is at least not that bad. The 10k limit on cash transactions is just not feasible in some industries though.

Monero is actually the least volatile crypto asset that is not specifically designed to be pegged to fiat.
