But like, seriously, in 2024, having an issue with a traffic surge causing downtime on a website?? Coming from a “huge” one like itsfoss.com (https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/) is really worrying.
Plus like...
$ curl -Is https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/ | grep -i cache
cache-control: public, max-age=0
cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC
😬
And based on the spec of oEmbed (https://oembed.com/), it seems like the issue should not even exist, but well, that's how the web works too.
