Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ""Edit"" I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we're still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

Any idea who might be launching the ddos attacks?

Haters. Groups paid by Steve Huffman. Script kiddies. Any rich trust fund pissant with a couple hundo to spend on the dark web.

Groups paid by Steve Huffman

Any basis for this conspiracy theory?

[โ€“] astral_avocado@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not too much, just that it would be incredibly tempting of an option for a millionaire. Anonymously destroy your competition by paying some dark web site in Monero? Sure why not?

If that were the case, I think he would have paid a bit more and make sure it would have stayed down. No competition was destroyed here.

I think it's Far more likely that it's just a bunch of scriptkiddies saying "when I press button, error page goes brrrrrrr".
