schestowitz__Speaking of which, I wasted 3-4 hours last night battling DDOS, which was very confusing. It was confusing in the sense that understanding the patterns was hard.Feb 23 03:16
schestowitz__At the end I blocked all requests from "Gooogle", not because I think Google staged a DDOS attack but more likely an attacker used Google as camouflage. Minutes ago I unbanned "Google" (nano /var/www/html/.htaccess on TM) to see if things become sane again.Feb 23 03:16

schestowitzI think it is worth publicising once the code itself is ready (public), as people don't tend to take a "second glimpse" when more info becomes available.Feb 23 23:17

schestowitzNowadays the strain on the server is low, except bw (due to video), so no harm done. We're also not billed per anything.Feb 23 23:18
