    Sure, but to someone running a website out of their house, 100,000 bots trying to hit the site at the same time to scrape it is going to have the same effect. So yes, you’re correct, Anubis has nothing to do with stopping a literal DDoS attack, but it does help smaller websites stay alive by avoiding responding to requests from scrapers or one-off malicious agents.







  • I don’t care what anybody does to make money unless it puts someone else at risk. A car is a method of transportation, but more importantly, a weapon. Focusing on getting the right angle or right clip or whatever for your meme puts other people at risk as you control a 5500 pound piece of metal. My criticism is on the choice of using a moving vehicle as a recording studio.





  • TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.

    But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.

    But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day




  • My biological mom died from an overdose of a “speedball,” e.g. mixing heroin and cocaine at the same time.

    And that was years after she went into the hospital for pancreatitis, and they just blanket prescribed her opioids. From there the doctors kept bumping her prescription up, and then from there she sought pills on the street, and then finally she moved to heroin. I guess if she was alive today fentanyl would have been the next jump.

    She was a byproduct of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic

    And I blame the pharmaceutical companies like Purdue who profited off it more than anyone else.

    This was exacerbated by the aggressive and misleading marketing of drug makers, e.g. Purdue Pharma. Purdue trained its sales representatives to convey to doctors that the risk of addiction from OxyContin was “less than one percent.”
