looking for a SPC player/plugin from anytime before March 24th 2001 for OS 9 of course if there is none oh well at least i have WinAMP with a plugin for spc files on my optiplex gx 260 running XP

it would not only mean that ones website would have went private instead of being public, it would also not even work, because the adress of an attack can be identical to the adress of a human beeing who is actually reading the page he downloads.

huge and broad attacks never use only adresses that are owned by the same organisation, they use comprimised email clients or rootet servers.

We’ve had a huge influx of bots, triggering the DDoS safety net CloudFlare has. I had to get us our own cert instead of CloudFlares provided cert and we’re still having issues.

We went from 100k unique visitors per day to 1.5 million over the course of the weekend. The internet is a special kind of hellscape nowadays.

It's being said that since our Prez Orange started launching missiles at Iran the other day, Iran has begun a variety of DDoS and similar attacks on Western Internet infrastructure, Cloudfare, AWS etc. among them. Our little niche issues may just be collateral damage…

It's a war that can't be won, it's all about mitigating the problems that come with the added traffic. If whitelisting known users would be the way forward, then we need someone who can work full time with that alone (and still wont manage the job).

It's what it is. I will probably disable the view counter feature to remove some load from the database infrastructure. Why keep counting if the counter itself is "lying"?

It makes me so sad that we can't have this little corner to ourselves.

All is well now.

With Firefox v148 on macOS I'm getting "SSL_ERROR_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_ALERT" when trying to use https.
This doesn't look like a cached / old certificate but a wrong encryption setting.

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=macos9lives.com says you are delivering 2 certificates.
The RSA one is actually for macintoshgarden.org and has no alternate names for macos9lives.com

We went from 100k unique visitors per day to 1.5 million over the course of the weekend. The internet is a special kind of hellscape nowadays. Sorry for the issues and the time it has taken to solve them. The SSL cert issues are now most likely because of cashed certificates in everyone’s browsers. Try cleaning the cache and see if that works.

I’ll continue my work
