There is Cloudflare cache in front of everything, and we also cache events internally, so a second hit for the same page, if it happens, should be immediately cheap.
But yes, there are a lot of requests for events that probably do not exist or at least can't be found anywhere.
It would be worth it to double check all your cache settings. I was mostly able to hit cloudflares cache but actually the first request to the / of the site, said cache had expired. And that should just be a static site that NEVER changes. Weird. It is possible you're expiring the cache too quickly or pages are fooling cloudflare into thinking they're dynamic when they're static. I would look into all the tags and headers you're using, and cloudflare settings, and try to get it serving most of the traffic.
(good ideas from: Anthony, says you have him muted:) https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpm5aj708u9qc48m5w2a0stwfvzp2p4p9rdmmevts5mkweyl6mlmyqydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpzemhxue69uhkyetkduhxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpq0z33mktkyffltunzf34ffcsfyf6lgdeu2clc9vj2c6km34xzezuqk6dq69
Then you can figure out how to mitigate the rando-event requestoors. If they're truly a DDoS it should be fairly obvious, and at that point, maybe you can just have people zap-subscribe to be able to add things to the njump cache. That's what I would do, you're sitting on a cash cow and you're gonna let it die off cause everyone uses it too much ;)
Yes, thank you, I'll go check these cache things again. It had just occurred me looking at the logs that / wasn't being cached on Cloudflare, but I thought event and profile pages were.
But I didn't mute nostr:npub1a6we08n7zsv2na689whc9hykpq4q6sj3kaauk9c2dm8vj0adlajq7w0tyc and I haven't received a DM from him in ages, so I don't know why he thinks that. Anyway, good ideas, I'll try them.
Now I don't think njump.me should be anyone's cash cow. It shouldn't even exist, and hopefully in the near future it will stop being necessary with browsers and other websites adopting "nostr:" URLs natively or something like that. If it dies today it will be sad and mildly disruptive, but not a fatal blow to anything.
