It’s not even a news site, it’s a Substack blog. And I started skimming it, but I didn’t see anything that even supported the headline.

Because they share an etymology. Con+serve, from Latin for together+oversee, and con+fide, together+trust.

Is that download mode? Do the xda threads not have anything that works in download mode?

From the picture, looks like a fire on one of the wheels. I’m guessing something about the brakes. The article described it as a “hard landing”, so maybe something broke and jammed, then caught fire from friction.

Shit happens, especially with a lot of flights every day. Truck brakes catch fire sometimes too. This isn’t particularly unusual.

And even more indie clones like Monster Crown if that’s your thing.

We almost certainly can’t catch a disease from them in the same way we can’t catch most animal and plant diseases. Each virus and bacterium relies on certain aspects of the host to survive and reproduce.

Fungal infections are more possible, because fungi just feed on decomposing organic matter. As long as they’re carbon-based, they’re probably edible. Same for parasites: as long as they’re made of meat, they’re edible. (Barring any strange chemical composition, like if for some reason they carry large amounts of what we would consider toxic metals.)

Ideally, you’d limit your resource utilization to always leave enough of a buffer that your management tools can run. But even if that’s not the case, you should also be able to disable incoming traffic so that your servers stop even seeing the requests. Or you can just plain destroy and recreate with a new version.

But none of that addresses the fact that your retrying clients are basically DDoSing you. That can be mitigated by your WAF filtering requests so that only a fraction are passed to the server, as mentioned in the article, but preferably you’d just scale up to handle the load, or fix your clients to retry less frequently so that they don’t DDoS you with retries. Even a large number of clients shouldn’t be retrying so frequently that it overwhelms your system. Even if you’re selling Taylor Swift tickets, where millions of clients are hammering you, you can scale horizontally to at least implement a queue for users so they’re not hitting refresh every time they get a blank screen.

tl;dr:

Each request takes exactly one second to process, and a new request arrives every second

That’s their core issue. They were never able to process requests fast enough, and the moment there was any delay it all came down like a house of cards. If you’re already running at 100%, yeah no shit you’re going to have problems if anything changes even slightly.

Further, it doesn’t seem like retries backed off enough, or maybe should have just given up eventually.

The writing style also made it kind of hard to follow. Technical articles work better when they’re not written like a children’s story, but with technical writing.

Literally on the front page right now there’s a turn-based RPG showcase. OP seems wilfully ignorant.

I disagree. Conflict is what has driven our development as a species. The first tools weren’t for building, they were weapons. Even today, so much new scientific development happens as a result of war, especially in medicine.

I buy mine used from eBay. When I receive them, I inspect them, check SMART data, and run a test. I’ve gotten one that had a cracked connector, one with a bunch of bad blocks, stuff like that. I reached out to the sellers and they replaced them at no cost to me.

Some of my internal stuff goes out to Let’s Encrypt, so I don’t worry about it at all. My internal AD stuff is set for like three years. If anyone has compromised the CA, they’re already past where issuing malicious certs would be useful.

I would up your root cert expiration. You can keep the root CA offline if you’re concerned about compromise.

There are also ways to run LE-style automatic renewals internally, but I’ve never bothered because what I’ve described above means I don’t need it.

There are dozens of other very good games for every one live service. Find some you like and play them.

It’ll probably crash when you try to view it. I would scan with the flipper zero.

Controlling territory doesn’t make them not a gang. There are rival gangs in Haiti too.

Invest billions of dollars? Yes, because they have billions of dollars. Russia has been reduced to bartering for their imports.

Because we see which distros you’re using, and we judge you for it.

Gentoo, in 2024? Really? You should be using Arch if that’s your thing. It’s not the 90s any more.

I’m pretty sure that Proton quoting her in the first place is fake. I know she’s milking her 15 minutes of fame for all she can, but this seems outside her experience.

True, but this is generally not useful information to anyone. They can see you’re visiting bank.com, but they still can’t see your bank details.

It might be useful if they’re trying to target you for phishing, but a targeted attack is extremely unlikely.

Also, any wireless equipment from the past 15 years or so supports client isolation.

$1400/mo, the rough figure from the article, is 30% of $56k/yr. If you made $1m, 30% of that would give you $25,000/mo. How do you figure?
