Oops. Yea DDOS can be executed by an army of windows computers that have unknowingly been infected by a dormant "virus" which can be remotely triggered to execute a payload from a controlling server/hacker.  Since computer users with these viruses don't know they exist, and since they don't really have to use much of a computer's resources, they can remain hidden and just be used in the army of attack "robots" which, if enough of them, can cripple a website with only one access point, their URL which is ties to one IP and hence one computer typically... so when millions of accesses to the one website a second occur, it can cripple "regular" users access making the website seem unresponsive since it's responding to so many hits per second it can't keep up with serving pages.  I've worked on handling such a case where a competitor paid a hacker to DDOS a site and through complicated methods, we figured out IP addresses, sometimes blocking entire countries in order to make a site be able to respond to legit page requests...


I brain farted and didn't think to cater my post to the audience.  My bad.

Freedom Hall (politics) / Trump's "Mandate"
Last post by bats - Today at 09:52 PM
Since winning the 2024 election, one of Trump's most significant lies is that he has a "mandate" based on his "landslide" victory. Last night, his incoming border czar, Stephen Miller, made these comments on Fox News:

  • We are here on the heels of a landslide like the world has never seen before!

  • President Trump winning this election has also won a mandate to fundamentally reform the DOJ, the FBI, and the entire national intelligence community!

In that WSJ column today by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, they claimed:

  • On Nov. 5, voters decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change, and they deserve to get it.

But as the popular vote totals trickle in, it's clear that Trump will not even be able to claim he won a simple majority of the votes cast. That's not a landslide. If it indicates a mandate, it's the weakest mandate in memory.

Why are his followers okay with his constant lies? They might say that all politicians lie, and there's some truth to that. But Trump is the champion of all liars, and it's not even a close contest.

We know most of his voters believe his biggest lie--that the 2020 election was stolen from him. So maybe that's it. If they believe that claim, maybe they're dumb enough to believe all his bullshit claims.

The problem with guys like Musk and Ramaswamy is that they're smart guys who aren't smart enough to know what they don't know.

Among the things they don't know is that inefficiency and waste are easy to talk about but hard to identify. After all, they're not the first characters to be charged with rooting out government waste. But they think they know more than anyone who has come before them.

Blkfre, all theses wannabe dictators going against each other, the battle of the egos.  Trump rages at Republicans over Biden's successful judicial confirmations, laughing. 

Those who love America and it's freedom are not going to standby and let the insane trump party get away with it.  More is coming.

So, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy put out a manifesto on what it is they plan on doing when Trump unleashes them upon us, but, is it me, or is this just BS conservative doubletalk?

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/musk-and-ramaswamy-the-doge-plan-to-reform-government-supreme-court-guidance-end-executive-power-grab-fa51c020?st=PjAhDW&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

"Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn't how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren't laws enacted by Congress but "rules and regulations" promulgated by unelected bureaucrats—tens of thousands of them each year...This is antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders' vision. It imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers. "

"The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long. That's why we're doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees."

So, on the one hand you say people who were not elected are making decisions with " "rules and regulations" promulgated by unelected bureaucrats" who "impose massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers.", all the while tooting your horn that you are "are entrepreneurs, not politicians. who will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. "

Did they read this before posting it? Aren't they *exactly* what they are complaining about?

He isnt President yet but he gets blamed for all the problems Biden and Harris created.

This thread is about how the Democrats in charge of Cali have fucked everything up in this once liveable state.

Quote from: bligslick on Today at 12:08 AMHard to imagine this site would be a DDOS target. But that's what it felt like when this happens.
I had to Google DDOS.
DDoS Attack means "Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack" and it is a cybercrime in which the attacker floods a server with internet traffic to prevent users from accessing connected online services and sites.

Motivations for carrying out a DDoS vary widely, as do the types of individuals and organizations eager to perpetrate this form of cyberattack. Some attacks are carried out by disgruntled individuals and hacktivists wanting to take down a company's servers simply to make a statement, have fun by exploiting cyber weakness, or express disapproval. Other distributed denial-of-service attacks are financially motivated, such as a competitor disrupting or shutting down another business's online operations to steal business away in the meantime.

DoS vs. DDoS
A distributed denial-of-service attack is a subcategory of the more general denial-of-service (DoS) attack. In a DoS attack, the attacker uses a single internet connection to barrage a target with fake requests or to try and exploit a cybersecurity vulnerability. DDoS is larger in scale. It utilizes thousands (even millions) of connected devices to fulfill its goal.

What is DDoS Attack: Attack Symptoms and How to Identify
One of the biggest issues with identifying a DDoS attack is that the symptoms are not unusual. Many of the symptoms are similar to what technology users encounter every day, including slow upload or download performance speeds,the website becoming unavailable to view, a dropped internet connection, unusual media and content, or an excessive amount of spam. Further, a DDoS attack may last anywhere from a few hours to a few months, and the degree of attack can vary. Link

I should think Simple Machines support staff are aware of this.

For some time we have been getting out of country spammers. In the past you may have seen numerous post in Russian or similar language before we could delete them. Zep activated the old member protocol where they have to get approval when they sign up before getting access to the FantasySaloon site. So, you have not been seeing spam posts. I go in and ban all the out of country requesters that are waiting for approval. I put ban triggers on their name, email, IP address, etc.

The ones who think it can not get worse, it can get way worse with my complaining Sacramento sister who hates life on gov assistance, the hair dresser's hired station help who spreads more trump musk false information and all the deceived brainwashed miserable MAGA are going to be shocked what happens to them.  We warned them.  Over turn the government to what ??? a babbling mc donalds addicted mouth piece trump who hates vets.  MAGA haters, it is going to bite their ungrateful asses and trump will never get what he wants (watch common sense republicans stop him).

I know MAGA love chaos, want war, do not want to think for themselves who voted for their criminal, rapist 34felon trump, I promise you a roadster but I lied musk, shady eyeliner vance, worm brain kennedy, little dick johnson and snorting junior who knows how to hold fries with sprinkled drugs.

As for rich powerful corporate leaders and their employees WHO will not have medical insurance, higher prices food etc, social security is gone.  If we think there is a lot of homeless now, banks closing down bank accounts, women dying from abortions, it will be massive.  HOW is your new government working for you now?  And let's deport all the farm workers, no food in the stores (not to mention the debt the country will be put into over deportation). 

Is there anymore?  Crime will go up, neo-nazi groups will murder more and civis will gather up their guns in a world of fear.  And things are worse now, I do not think so.  Better count your blessing if you even think you have any in your life.

I know MAGA do not feel blessed, none, never and not now.  Their own hate will backfire on them.  Good luck with your life of destruction, it's coming for you.
How is the new trump gov working for you?  Like always MAGA can't think for themselves.
