TBH as I see it, this could be a good thing, especially if those patches were go upstream. Lemmy could end up DOS hardened as fuck if this continues. Hopefully the attacker will eventually run out of attack vectors, although from what I’m seeing, this could take months, as it’s been happening for a long time already.
Mind you that
PICTRS__API_KEY
is the wrong variable, and should bePICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY
. I’ve noticed it when Lemmy Thumbnail Cleaner complained about the api key being incorrect. Follow the repo page and check if your variables are correct.
