  • Maybe like how can fill a container with a gas like air could maybe do the same with each individual electron in a container.

    Yes, those containers are called “ions” and when you put a bunch of them together you’ve reinvented a battery.

    aliens abducting and exploiting people as a resource in a text document called “Information about totalitarian and manipulative aliens.odt”, also with picture in the post perhaps also prove these aliens are real

    Real big “perhaps” there. This sounds more like schizophrenia or something, I’m no psychiatrist.




  • Laptops with Ethernet are still pretty common. I just bought one recently. At work, we buy a lot of them. But I don’t think smartphones ever had integrated wired networking.

    But that aside, what you’re describing is already happening. Wireless network deployments are much, much cheaper than running wire to each building. In semi-rural areas, WiSPs are pretty common. And 5G for home Internet access is pretty common in high-coverage areas. And as time goes on, the ISP-provided equipment is more locked down.

    But I don’t think those things are related.













  • Ideally, you’d limit your resource utilization to always leave enough of a buffer that your management tools can run. But even if that’s not the case, you should also be able to disable incoming traffic so that your servers stop even seeing the requests. Or you can just plain destroy and recreate with a new version.

    But none of that addresses the fact that your retrying clients are basically DDoSing you. That can be mitigated by your WAF filtering requests so that only a fraction are passed to the server, as mentioned in the article, but preferably you’d just scale up to handle the load, or fix your clients to retry less frequently so that they don’t DDoS you with retries. Even a large number of clients shouldn’t be retrying so frequently that it overwhelms your system. Even if you’re selling Taylor Swift tickets, where millions of clients are hammering you, you can scale horizontally to at least implement a queue for users so they’re not hitting refresh every time they get a blank screen.
