HOW THE HELL DO YOU A DDOS ATTACK ON YOURSELF?!
@MrGoat I mean, I know that. BUT HOW?! How can you be so incompetent?
@LiberalLibrarian Because he's not a computer guy. ...
@MrGoat As the kids say, Lordt.
@LiberalLibrarian It's quite simple. You put an account wall on a site that has thousand of embedded postsdaily on thousands of high traffic news sites the world over, and then your log in server gets hit by an overwhelming number of requests because it was not designed that way.
@LiberalLibrarian By not paying your server bills?
@LiberalLibrarian From what it looks like, it was a response to opening the most sensitive part of the internals.
And everybody knows what happens when you mess with something you're not supposed to...
@LiberalLibrarian by firing most of the people who could tell you that what you were doing was a terrible idea? because obviously websites can just run themselves once you put them out there.
@LiberalLibrarian actually, easier than you'd think ๐
@jordicusmaximus @LiberalLibrarian
Sometimes you feel the pressure, and nobody else wants to DDOS with you consensually.
@sfleetucker @jordicusmaximus @LiberalLibrarian Oh, I like that. And I like your new avatar. I understand the reference.
@LiberalLibrarian By firing the people who kept the place running?
@LiberalLibrarian
Only insanely rich business geniuses can mange it.
@LiberalLibrarian The answer, my friend, is lyin' in the wind. The truth will unfold, but by then, we'll be too old.l
Well, FIRST you blow $44 billion dollars...
@LiberalLibrarian By getting user agents to send too many requests.
