OMG this scared me. I thought I was "enough" protected
Yep Cloudflare protects against classic DDoS (like many clients doing a lot of small requests). Here attacks are performed presumibly by users that know very well how the Lemmy's backend works and where bottlenecks are, so that with a small number of well made requests they are able to mess up the backend and Cloudflare doesn't notice it
I'm using Pop OS for gaming and work and it works flawlessly. Looking at the game you listed, I think they will work without problems. Give a look at protondb so you can have an idea. However I would suggest you to try it yourself and see how it goes, gaming on Linux is a very different matter compared to ten years ago!
Lemmy doesn't require a lot of resources to run smoothly, especially for instances with a low number of users. The only concern may be if you upload a lot of images, they are stored on your drive.
If you don't want to manage a single user instance you can join someone's instance (like mine, I am the only one in my instance)
Snap mainly, at least for me
Sorry, I forgot to mention that it's Pop OS. And I think it started to be stuck in this mode 2 weeks ago
For sure it is sufficient for a quick fix. But a Lemmy post can be posted not only on Lemmy but on other front ends (like kbin, mastodon, and many others) and they can suffer from a similar attack due to the backend storing and forwarding the bad content. So, it should not be stored as it is in the backend
I think you are the bot here because this can't be true 🤦
I suspect it works!
Aren't they synchronized with the Firefox account?
