sorry, DOS attack
sorry about that, a little Sunday morning dos attack out of Russia that sucked our bandwidth dry.
On the bright side, server managed to hold up under it until it hit the bandwidth limit.
Wonder what Putin is up to.

Maybe they didn’t like my old comments about the shitty state of Russian economy and military. 🤭

Re: sorry, DOS attack
yea i dont think anything too nefarious was going on, but i have not had time to do a proper post-mortem on the incident.
my first pass look around the server logs looks like a badly configured bot. it just repeatedly kept scrapping the site, using almost twice our normal monthly bandwidth in like 3 days, but not sufficently fast to trigger any other security messures except for the bandwith limiter.
i purposly only alocate twice the monthly average to our public sites to stop exactly these sorts of attacks from taking down the entire server. just sufficent to handle a legit spike in traffic, untill i have time to allocate more. say like after the 2010 earthquake or some other national emergency. basicaly 3 days of full throtal usage without me needing to do anything. about the time it took me to get connected again after the earthquake.

Re: sorry, DOS attack
My wife has been complaining about DOS attacks. Says she can't get anything done, because of all the crap that her husband and children fling at her. i am not sure if it is legit, may be stepford subterfuge. Ack, I couldn't resist!

Re: sorry, DOS attack
Well, in fairness to the Russians, I had to ban some Chinese address blocks too. There is no good legit reason for a bot to be hitting our server, all day long, every day.
