I currently have an outage from my own forgejo insrance (which codeberg runs as well afaik) since yesterday. I wonder if that is connected.
Here someone abused some feature to automatically create comments mentioning hundreds or more users so that the server send the comment notification via email. The email I got had just the N word followed by "balls" and lots of mentioned accounts. Not sure if others got longer messages?
same email here.
That's exactly what I got too
So that's what it was...
More likely due to extreme AI scraping. That has been an issue with selfhosted Forgejo instances for months now and it is a complete PITA to deal with.
Time for the LLM crawler trap: https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
