#dell provided me with a spare part for an 8 year old #inspiron laptop in double time. I spoke to a human on the phone and the part is on the way. Time taken: 10 mins max from first landing on their website. Ace.

#radicle #heartwood seems to need a release with fix / patch commit 2f930e3561 to be deployed to avoid a CPU on seed running at full pelt for a week for no reason.

My home-hosted website is being hammered thousands of times an hour by a swarm of coordinated residential IP addresses that do not get used again the next next day but hit with a new batch of addresses the next day. The attack swarm does nothing other than a simple GET & that is it. What can be done? I do not see why one should play along with such coordinated nonsense. Blocking all IP addresses in the swarm would serve no purpose: they hardly any of them are re-used. #suricata #ids #firewall

They really bust the internet if it means one has to spend a Friday evening on an #ids intrusion detection system upgrading a firewall to stop some miscreant swarm of one off IP addresses from inundating one's web site with pointless GET requests.

If modern society is freeloading on FOSS, why not have a day of the year where the software goes down in a pre-programmed manner for the good of society to practice living in the stone age and being more resilient? Wait....

My #ids sees crawler IP proxy exit test attack on my web site using 1000 different IP addresses issuing GET command and doing zilch just testing their IP addresses work? What can one do?
