[03:16] 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. [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 [06:02] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [06:44] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techbytes ● Feb 23 [09:15] schestowitz__ x https://www.newsweek.com/bill-gates-defends-using-private-jets-big-homes-climate-change-carbon-emissions-1571005 [09:15] schestowitz__ # more 'bill sez' [09:15] schestowitz__ = [09:15] schestowitz__ x https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/02/22/what-is-the-cheapest-way-to-cut-carbon [09:15] schestowitz__ # bill sez [09:15] schestowitz__ x https://www.newsweek.com/if-done-right-forum-marketing-time-well-spent-1569703 [09:15] schestowitz__ # SPAM [09:16] *TechBytesBot (~b0t@techrights.org) has joined #techbytes [09:16] TechBytesBot Hello World!
