This must be the mother of all database errors.

Quote from: Phoenix on Dec 10, 2025, 06:22 PMThat SF member with the German name (can't recall it right now) explained how a DDoS attack on his site was handled. All IP addresses making multiple requests per minute were immediately blocked, because no human can make more than a couple in that time. I don't know why Cloudflare can't do the same. Whatever their strategy is doesn't seem to work. Al I see is a message saying, "As a registered member you are bypassing the server busy message." So what? The server shouldn't be busy.There's something other than DDOS attacks at work here. I was getting the "bypassing the server busy message" notification when there was only myself and thirty guests online. A DDOS attack generally shows up as over a thousand guests visiting at once. If we're getting "bypassing the server busy message" notifications with only thirty guests online, it seems probable the server itself has somehow become severely limited in how much traffic it can handle.
