Site has been unusable for me intermittently for like a week or something, do we have some ideas for how we could mitigate the DDOS issue?
Are we looking for something like Cloudfare but not Cloudfare?
Increased server capacity?
Backup instances to move to when one gets overloaded?

Donations maybe?
We don’t know what the problem is. DDOSs are causing one of two things. Hardware overloading or network overloading. If the problem is the first one we just donate for better hardware. If it is the second one Kapow would need to upgrade his network connection. Here I am assuming he is self hosting it.
If he is running a VPS then he would need to upgrade his VPS plan to more expensive one.
