Little bit on DDoS attacks:
They're a bitch to defend against...but they're also a bitch to maintain. CoSo is particularly vulnerable right now due to both what I would call politics (as the bird site collapses) and the huge influx of new users (as the bird site collpases).
Depending on where Jester has defenses deployed, it may be an extremely short-lived inconvenience or a fairly short-lived inconvenience.
TLDR: give it time and all will be well.
Outside analysis (no inside information...always _highly_ questionable): much of the site responds -- that loading to 99% and then stalling. Speaks to very specific targeting, which is a nicely sophisticated attack and not just a skiddie. Still expensive to maintain for long -- you're going to burn a botnet quickly....just speaks to the main perpetrator.
@Nikto Ty I was getting discouraged but misery loves company! I changed browsers twice thinking it was my ineptitude 😂
