Hi there,

I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many nefarious actors trying to break it and I don't have the time or energy to keep fighting them off.

For your information: Over the pas month I have had to:

  1. Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) signups.
  2. Delete a bunch of literal white noise uploads that filled my 4TB picture storage... Twice.
  3. Repair Lemmy (or rather pictures) after it crashed because of full storage.

I will keep waveform.social active until Friday next week so you can pull data from here, though I expect most of it has been federated to other servers anyway.

  • kalo tiba tiba banyak yg daftar disini paling saya jadiin manual acc lagi, mayan buat saya baca baca juga. Pengen beli smtp service buat verifikasi user baru tapi buat sekarang lagi bokek wkwk. Kalo misal kena DDOS nanti saya coba cari cari solusinya yg paling bagus. Santai lah.
