This is just an information for users to let you know that (and why) several Fedora services are currently not reachable or only with a very bad connection. Note that this issue is not on your side, and you do not need to do anything yourself on your Fedora. Please give the team some time to work on this. Please see this for more: Further information will be provided in the ticket. Supplement to clarify some questions: This is not a DDoS attack on Fedora systems, but on some of our infras...
@weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works@ISolox@lemmy.world I’m not sure, but I have a feeling that it’s not something from directed attack (i.e. some person or group targeting Fedora), but rather automated crawlers from LLMs. The whole Internet have been under attack by AI corps requesting everything they can without checking robots.txt, and using vast pools of IP addresses to avoid IP blocking. FOSS projects have been severely affected by it.
@weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works While there are still things to be improved for Anubis IMHO (such as being less harsh with mobile and low-power devices), yeah, it’s currently the best solution for this problem caused by LLM crawlers.
Indeed, what would you even get out of DDoSing Fedora? It can only be done out of malice.

They should consider adopting Anubis.
