A bug in plasma-discover and knewstuff is causing a distributed denial of service attach on KDE.org. https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2022-February/001157.html Please backport the patches they have onto the epel8 packages.
I'll implement these patches. I wanted a bugzilla bug to work everything through.
I have patched plasma-discover, knewstuff, and also kdeplasma-addons and plasma-workspace using the patches from here. https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2022-February/001142.html
