There’s literally only a few of them

There were 735 billionaires in the US as of 2023. We’re being exploited far more than we all realize.

You’re right though. The top 7 billionaires are worth a combined 1 trillion.

Big fan of SFTPGo. We use it at work - it’s rock solid and feature rich.

Not every platform has to accommodate porn and/or nude art.

I’m pretty sure they’re automated and there’s very little that can be done to trace them to their original sources.

Start by holding the ad account holder liable. When I worked in digital marketing and ran ad accounts, I had to upload my driver’s license.

Same. I’m getting to the age where I say “I don’t get it” when it comes to a lot of popular things these days. I said it loudly about NFTs, glad to see I didn’t misunderstand it.

What’s the API ordeal? I don’t use Twitch but I’m curious.

They offer multiple products and services. Each of which can have a respective monopoly.

$6 million

Why that amount? I’m guessing I’m missing some backstory.

while showing how many users they forced into their app where ad blocking is harder.

Laughs in DNS-level blocking

I wonder if this is the motivation behind removing the auth-gate on mobile. Previously, if I browsed the mobile site on my phone in a non-signed-in state (I deleted my account), I could view 5-8 top-level comments and that’s it. Clicking “Show more comments” or trying to expand child comments would show a modal asking me to sign in or download the app.

That changed last week along with a complete rework of the mobile site. I’m betting that they saw a huge increase in unauthenticated mobile users with a far below-average time-on-site metric and decided to open it up.

Overall, I appreciate the change because I still lurk in many of the niche subs that I still haven’t found a good replacement for. self-hosted, datahoarder, webdev, 3dprinting, et al. have analogs here, but the content isn’t as deep.

Hmm, that really doesn’t sound like a traffic pattern that would be confused with a DDoS attack. I would be frustrated as hell too.

What’s concerning is that our traffic would look very similar. We have a VPN dedicated droplet that allows access to our DO private network where the rest of our resources can be accessed. We also have high throughput periods though not as sustained as yours.

That’s really unfortunate. I love Digital Ocean and spend about $800/month with them for work.

Can you tell me more about the traffic they are mistakenly flagging as a DDOS? I ask because I have regular DB and file backups happening and if we had traffic shutdown on production assets for 3-4 hours, it would be a big fucking deal.

Humans rarely bite as a defensive option.

Tell that to fucking Kyle from Mrs. Ventura’s second grade class.

Not just probably, they’ve literally done it. Look up the Sony rootkit scandal.

Generally speaking, serif fonts make it easier to distinguish between visually similar characters like o, O, and 0 or 1, I, and l.

$6/TB/month

I use Unraid too. What app are you using for backup? Most allow for encrypted backups which renders this issue moot (though still shitty).

I use Duplicacy (not to be confused with the unreliable Duplicati) and send encrypted backups to B2 Backblaze.

Seems like something a donation could fund.

That’s not true in the slightest.
