I like keeping across what is happening with other Lemmy instances so lestat.org was born out of this curiosity.
URL: https://lestat.org
It's similar to lemmy-status.org but with a few notable differences:
- Lestat is running Uptime Kuma
- Lestat monitors all instances listed on join-lemmy.org
- Lestat has a public Discord server where it automatically feeds notifications: https://discord.gg/R8zY7fM5Z8
Criteria for adding instances to Lestat
I will add any instance to Lestat based on these prerequisites:
- The instance is listed on join-lemmy.org
- The instance doesn't host anything illegal in New Zealand
Free services for admins
If you are an instance admin, I can set you up with the following:
- Automatic e-mail notifications when the status of your instance changes (e.g. it goes up or down).
- An uptime badge for your instance in this style:
Send me a message if you'd like any of the above.
I hope you find Lestat useful!
Edit: Added clickable URL and expanded on free admin services to include badges.
I think this project has some tools that might automate that:
https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare
They ID and track every website that joins #Cloudflare. It’s a huge effort but those guys are on top of it. A script could check the list of domains against their list. There is also this service (from the same devs) which does some checks:
https://karma.crimeflare.eu.org:1984/api/is/cloudflare/html/
but caveat: if a non-CF domain (e.g. example.tld) has a CF host (e.g. somehost.example.tld), that tool will return YES for the whole domain.
I would suggest not bothering with any complex math, and simply do the calculation as you normally do but then if a site is Cloudflare cap whatever the calculated figure is to 98%. Probably most (if not all) CF sites would be 100% anyway, so they would just be reduced by 2%. Though it would need to be explained somewhere -- the beauty of which would be to help inform people that the CF walled garden is excluding people. Cloudflare’s harm perpetuates to a large extent because people are unaware that it’s an exclusive walled garden that marginalizes people.
That project is a great find, thanks! A real time saver, I should have these marked up shortly.
I'll do some more thinking on how we represent Cloudflare instances in general, I think for the time being I may just include a short note for them as people will wonder why they're marked anyway.
Edit: This is now done, all Cloudflare instances marked and an explanation added.
Glad to see they are tagged. It could evolve more but the tags are the most important thing.
