@koen_hufkens Possibly, given the status message:
We are currently investigating high traffic on Codeberg that has degraded the performance of our database cluster. We are still investigating. Some attempts to remediate the problem did not yield the required results.

@koen_hufkens This was indeed the case. From the latest update:
The cause for the performance degradation was identified to be unprecendented AI crawling on our servers. We have had to do more aggressive proof-of-work challenging for various expensive URLs. A novelty is that AI crawlers not only access links that are actually generated by our web frontend, but they seem to convert the URLs into a format that bypassed existing filter rules.
