I just read a post a couple of minutes ago that lemmy.world is under ddos attack rn
I had trouble loading it, so that makes sense.
Ya. But I'm still able to access everything through a phone app
I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.
So I don't use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That's sad.
What antivirus are you using?
AVG
It's gotta be one of the worst antiviruses
Not as bad as mcafee tbh
That’s like saying cancer isn’t as bad as AIDS
Admin of derp.foo here. My best guess is Hetzner gave me an IP that had been used to host a botnet C&C before. As a precaution I switched to a new VPS; please contact me via matrix at @irdc:tchncs.de if the problem persists.
