I like keeping across what is happening with other Lemmy instances so lestat.org was born out of this curiosity.

URL: https://lestat.org

It’s similar to lemmy-status.org but with a few notable differences:

Criteria for adding instances to Lestat

I will add any instance to Lestat based on these prerequisites:

  • The instance is listed on join-lemmy.org
  • The instance doesn’t host anything illegal in New Zealand

Free services for admins

If you are an instance admin, I can set you up with the following:

  • Automatic e-mail notifications when the status of your instance changes (e.g. it goes up or down).
  • An uptime badge for your instance in this style:

Send me a message if you’d like any of the above.

I hope you find Lestat useful!

Edit: Added clickable URL and expanded on free admin services to include badges.

    I think this project has some tools that might automate that:

    https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare

    They ID and track every website that joins #Cloudflare. It’s a huge effort but those guys are on top of it. A script could check the list of domains against their list. There is also this service (from the same devs) which does some checks:

    https://karma.crimeflare.eu.org:1984/api/is/cloudflare/html/

    but caveat: if a non-CF domain (e.g. example.tld) has a CF host (e.g. somehost.example.tld), that tool will return YES for the whole domain.

    Manually adjusting availability is a can of worms that I don’t want to open

    I would suggest not bothering with any complex math, and simply do the calculation as you normally do but then if a site is Cloudflare cap whatever the calculated figure is to 98%. Probably most (if not all) CF sites would be 100% anyway, so they would just be reduced by 2%. Though it would need to be explained somewhere – the beauty of which would be to help inform people that the CF walled garden is excluding people. Cloudflare’s harm perpetuates to a large extent because people are unaware that it’s an exclusive walled garden that marginalizes people.
