This is disingenuous and irrelevant - that's no what's being proposed at all. And if you've ever run Facebook ads, you'd know what a ridiculous amount of money Facebook gets from that.

You actually made the argument for the bill, and then twisted it to justify Facebook and Google's domination of the ad market.
The specific problem they're solving is that that there's a majority of Facebook users who get their news from Facebook, and probably the majority of those users don't actually click through, so the news organizations get no money. Facebook and their users are benefitting from getting headlines, but the companies incurring all the costs to generate those headlines are getting too little money from that to sustain themselves. This is why this bill has to exist and why it's necessary to protect Canadian news organizations.
Is this game worth the money?
I have no experience with portainer, but some apps have an option to disable new user registration, and that's what I would recommend first. (I do use Keycloak myself too)
The drug company knows exactly what it's doing here - I came out Barbie the other day and there's a fucking Ozempic ad besides the theatre inside the Famous Players.
I don't see anyone else actually telling you how to figure out if you're being DoSed, so I'll start:
Check your logs. Look at what process is eating your CPU in htop and then look at the logs for that process. If it's a web application, that means the error and access logs for it. If you see a flood of requests to a single URL, or some other suspicious pattern in the log, then you can try blocking the IPs associated with them temporarily and see if it alleviates the load. Repeat until the load goes down.
If your application uses a database, check your database logs too. IIRC postgres logs queries that take longer than 5 seconds by default, which can make it easy to spot a slow query especially during a time of high load.
I don't think DNS amplification attacks over UDP are likely to be a problem as I think most cloud providers filter traffic with forged src addresses (correct me if I'm wrong). You can also try blocking all inbound UDP traffic if you suspect a UDP flood but this will likely break DNS lookups for you temporarily. (your machine should not have any open UDP ports in any case though if you're just running Lemmy).
If you want to go next level, you can use "perf" to generate a system-wide profile and flamegraph which will show you where you're burning CPU cycles. This can be extremely useful for troubleshooting performance or optimizing applications. (you'll find that even ipfilters takes CPU power, which is why most DDoS protection happens on dedicated hardware upstream)
I'm not OP but Keycloak is pretty usable for SSO. I've configured about 8 different web apps to be integrated with it via OAuth2.
They always say the same opinions because it's part of a massive astroturfing campaign by Chinese and Russian state actors. They're both attempting to sow discord in the West and lay the foundation to ramp it up to interfere in the 2024 US election.
Do you remember what a shit show Reddit became in 2016? We've seen this exact pattern before, where a deluge of people with the same carefully calibrated opinions on everything appear out of the blue. They want to create the illusion that there's some popular movement towards all these inane opinions, and you can even see from the comments on this thread. They're using the same known troll tactics to push this (eg. "Just asking questions").
This a good test of Lemmy's moderation and federation model and will be indicative of how it fairs next year when these campaigns really ramp up. Good on the admins for taking this seriously and nipping it in the bud.
Or you know, you could just listen to someone who was in an internment camp:
(Also your summary sounds like ChatGPT)
Just to share some climate change context, as of 2020, natural gas usage by buildings (mostly for heating) accounted for 54% of community-wide emissions in Toronto. Transportation only accounted for 33%, so reducing our use of natural gas for heating is something Canada needs majorly to focus on if we don't want to burn.
When you hand the Russians a propaganda victory, you can expect them to dial up the troll farms to 11 to get the most out of the opportunity. It's a big fuckup and CSIS/CSEC should have interdicted this TBH.
