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 :/

Running the latest, unmodified release from https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

As you've already hinted at, that JS is most likely related to the PWA part of lemmy.

It's likely. EU also recently voted on a 3k euro limit for cash limit for non-kyced transactions. Good thing we have Haveno coming up which is a p2p marketplace and so far the EU has left p2p mostly alone (not like a ban would be enforceable anyways).

It's often the same people.

Most of the downvotes are from lemmy.world who have made it their new hobby to downvote posts on our instance, don't take it personal :)

https://serai.exchange will have its first testnet soon. It assume it could become THE place to trade XMR in the future.

Thank you Vik, much appreciated <3
