- sandworm101 3y agoLol. HN, on sunday morning, just ddosed a website of mostly text and a few static images.
- artiii 3y agoand a few movies in gif. Let's see, och _only_ 270MB (via webarchive)
- BlueTemplar 3y agoOhgodwhy. Now I won't even click on the IA link because I don't want to be a burden for them.
- cubefox 3y agoI wonder why something like that can still happen in 2023. Shouldn't web traffic be orders of magnitude cheaper now than twenty years ago?
- dTal 3y agoI don't get it. He has a 500 gigabyte monthly quota, and the single page linked here is 270 megabytes (!) according to another comment (I didn't check but it's full of unnecessarily hi-res movies in .gif format). Why does he assume that 2000 hits of a page in 6 hours is so implausible that it must be "a weird malicious bot attack, or some kind of web crawler stuck in a loop"? That's only 5 hits a minute! Hasn't he heard of "going viral"?
