Considering Drew’s history with being an unrepentant antagonist, I feel it’s far more likely that he’s the target rather than some random employee.

- executesorder66 3y agoYeah, especially considering that it seems like his personal website is also being DDOS'd. (or maybe it just runs on the same infra)
- shiomiru 3y agoSourcehut has a static site hosting service, similar to GH pages. I would be surprised if his blog weren't hosted on it.
- eesmith 3y agoI wondered about Drew's "antagonism" last year when he claimed that Google was DDoS'ing Sourcehut, which is why sr.ht blacklisted the Go module mirror; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34310674 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34310674 . I concluded he was right after I read about ongoing problems with the GMP project, at https://gmplib.org/ https://gmplib.org/ : "The GMP servers has been under serious load due to a barrage of clone requests from Microsoft/Github. ... In effect, Microsoft's computer cloud performed a DDoS attack on the GMP servers. ... Our servers are fully available again, but that's the result of us adding all participating Microsoft network ranges to our firewall. We understand that we are far from the first project to take such measures against Github." Also, you can't build projects like Sourcehut by being only an antagonist, and I can think of some pretty antagonistic CEOs of billion dollar companies.
