  I can outsource things like ddos protection to my cdn provider, but that would still be just kinda hoping I didn’t have any attackable surface I didn’t think of prelaunch.

  In that case, I wonder if your money would be better spent on contracting a security review. If you’re worried about unknown attack surface, I’m not sure that funding organized crime to rent a botnet would help. Botnet operators rely on you to tell them what to attack, so you’re unlikely to discover anything new here. Better to hire a professional and get a fresh opinion.

  Is this something you’re self hosting for fun, or is it some kind of business?

  If you’re running web services for a business, you should look into existing load test tooling/infrastructure. Some of it can be fully managed, or other solutions might have a degree of setup involved (eg spinning up worker nodes in AWS or whatever). The hard part is designing your load test to match IRL traffic patterns, but once you have that down you can confidently answer questions about service scalability.

  A load test is not a DDoS test. Load tests tell you how much legitimate traffic your services can take. DDoS consists of illegitimate traffic which may not correspond to what your web services expect.

  Usually you don’t test your systems for something like a DDoS. You would instead set up DDoS protection through a CDN (content delivery network) to shield yourself and let someone else handle the logistics of blocking unwanted load. It’s a really hard problem to solve.

  Depending on what you want to learn, running your own DDoS is unlikely to be very instructive. Most “DDoS as a service” networks are not going to tell their customers how anything works, they just take your bitcoin and send some traffic where you tell them.

  One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

  New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably more war:

  1. Depending on the country who developed it, the risk of nuclear war could go up.

  If I don’t have to worry about nuclear retaliation, maybe I’m very confident in engaging in war. After all, my nukes will still work, and everyone else’s won’t.

  2. If the technology is shared equally to all countries at the same time, the risk of conventional war could go up.

  Imagine the nuclear armed countries who are enemies of another nation with a bigger military. North Korea vs USA, Pakistan vs India. In these cases, nuclear weapons are a deterrence against the stronger opponent. Without this, the country with a stronger conventional force may be more likely to they think they’ll win a war unscathed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You look like an adventurer with some unusual opinions.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  • Dunmer inhabitants of Vvardenfel generally dislike foreigners, so there’s a base level of racism whenever the player interacts with them (even as a Dunmer yourself, you’re too cosmopolitan for them)
  • Slavery (plantations and mines) is the driving economic force on Vvardenfel. There is extra racism when the player is a Khajit or Argonian
  • Everyone lives under a stagnant theocracy
  • One faction, the Telvanni, are powerful wizards who ignore the government and believe that might makes right

  All of these mean that there’s a certain subset of players who are into this ancap racist stuff IRL and get excited by “roleplaying” Dunmer racism on Reddit threads and the like.

  But for any normal person, these are just aspects of a setting that make for interesting conflict and stories. It’s such a great game, and OpenMW is the best way to play it.

  Bought an eBike last weekend because I’d rather be soaked by rain than sitting in traffic to/from work. It feels damn good to finally be the person in an otherwise empty bike lane, passing countless cars that are going nowhere.

  Breakfast: Coffee and toast Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers Dinner: Something home-cooked

  As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.

  The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it’s a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it’s a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don’t expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.

  I can’t deny that it’s sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they’re getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can’t guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.

  Gamevault is cool, but I wish they weren’t windows-only on the client side. Lutris integration would be excellent.
