- Comment on Hacker spins up 1 million virtual servers to illegally mine crypto 10 months ago:
Funny thing I had a paranoid freakout too before I got hacked on AWS, I had bought a visa gift card and that’s what I put in as a payment card on AWS. Of course they know where I live and could still screw me, but they would have to do it on their own dime.
They make it really hard to leave or just use a specific service only. I use them for DNS, objectively it’s supposed to be cheap AF pay yearly, but now I have to pay $2 a month just to do all the auxiliary stuff to notify me that I got hacked.
I’m buying a server rack soon and just got a full symmetric fiber line put in so I can do my own hosting.

It’s not fun, I got hacked through an archived git repo, for when I was learning to use AWS, following tutorials and whatnot.
Forgot about it for years, then out of nowhere got hit for 27k…needless to say I said good luck collecting that shit.
They waived it all granted I logged in and deleted all resources that were running as well as removed all identities. Sure as hell I did that and saw a ton of identities out in the middle of nowhere. Fucking hackers ran up a shit ton of AWS sagemaker resources trying to probably hack some dude’s wallet.
Every time I see a tutorial on how to deploy x in AWS, I get pissed. The newbies need to learn about administration before they start deploying shit on cloud infra.
- Comment on How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare? 10 months ago:
That document doesn’t say what layer. But it does say it supports Websockets.
Just odd that when I try to set it up using a named tunnel I don’t get an option to specify the WS service type. However it does require a service type if you want to connect to it.
Looking at this page it would seem that it’s a layer 7. Although I could be wrong, but my front end app has issues finding my backend service for websockets.
- Comment on How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare? 10 months ago:
Cloudflare tunnels are layer 7, so it’s not unlimited access by any means. This also means that certain things will break btw, for example if your website uses websockets to load information, that isn’t supported.
Next, I’d put the computer that is going to be hosting into an isolated vlan of its own and access via external URL only.
If you’re going to use docker images, make sure to vet that they’re updated often and always spin up the latest.

- Comment on Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, US judge rules 10 months ago:
Twitter’s lawyers argued that the company made only an oral promise that was not a contract, and that Texas law should govern the case, according to Courthouse News, which first reported the ruling.
Are you shitting me? They argued that it was a fucking lie so they shouldn’t be charged? Also no one gives a shit if you’re a Texan company…But you’re doing business in California with California residents, you have to follow California rules. Else don’t do any business in California.
Can’t fucking believe that not honoring an employment contract is not a fucking violation in Texas…Go figure.
- Comment on The stainless steel body of Tesla's Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panels 11 months ago:
So they can’t sue you after the crash cuz no one survives it.
They’ll probably have kamikaze mode for when it detects a crash about to happen it speeds up.
- Comment on What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on and why? 11 months ago:
This sounds like an interesting project, what programming language did you use? Was the endpoint relative to the person making the query, how was the data stored?
