I wasted way too much time yesterday trying to build a capacity greater than the flood... At cloudflare I saw that it's far easier to deal with these things if you can just absorb them... But that starts to require time and money...
Yesterday I spent almost as much money as a whole month's hosting on tens of additional servers to horizontally scale the python layer... But everytime I opened the door to traffic again, it would still fall over.
So yes, the lfgss kitty is now depleted, and it took even longer to recover the site.
I've also massively improved the logging, and all of the firewall, such that I can see more, and that an attack must come through the front door and cannot evade being fully seen.
