Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update November 2026

Massive shout of thanks from myself to INeedMana for jumping in and spending hours fixing this with me, guiding me, and putting up with my stress and panic!

When we were hit by scrapers the other month, both load and CPU utilization were going through the roof, server was choking even on sending ssh data. So that load of all cores being requested, while uncharacteristic, didn’t automatically feel alarming. It wasn’t that bad
When I was sitting down to take a look at the cron jobs, I was not expecting to find what we’ve found. And by the time I was getting API errors on simple docker exec I was starting to run in circles

I’m very grateful that you were there, even though it was well past midnight for you. It was much more manageable to get through that in a duo
