    DDoS attacks are illegal, but what is the legal amount of times a person can call a website? I'm sure enough people doing just a few calls per second couldn't get a person into too much trouble. Has the law even defined the difference?

      I don't know the 5 9s reference, but the two 8s is 88, a Nazi dog whistle for Heil Hitler, as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.

        Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.

        When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

          God I hope there's some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.

          Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot

          Plug that random USB stick you found on the sidewalk directly into the server and open up Link_ParkFullAlbum-LimeWire.exe

              Didn't Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.

                It would be poetic if the cyber attacks would be coming from Ukrainian hackers.

                  5 9s means 99.999% uptime, which translates to a site only being down for ~0.86 seconds per day. This is the golden standard for online services

                          Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?

                            Yeah I seem to remember quite a few “oh so that’s what that wire does” situations that unfolded already.

                              The legal difference would be intent; are you trying to access the website, or are you trying to bog it down? Proving intent can of course be difficult, but OTOH I don't know how much longer American courts are going to care about silly things like proof

                                I believe this is one of those things where intent matters, and may vary by location. Willing to bet hitting F5 a few times is safe, even a few hundred times as long as it’s in the realm of just checking if it’s up yet. The moment you have something scripted, you’re at least in the realm of having to explain it to a judge who probably knows fuck all about tech.

                                    No, don't ever organize like this. We are on the left. We are smart and we are righteous. We do not plan and coordinate and work together in this behavior. This would be sneaky and take social skills and foresight. No we need to gather in downtown Chicago with signs and megaphones. Protest in the streets. Only protest. We're not animals like trumpets who do this stuff and get away with it and never let up. They don't know the power of chaining themselves to a fence. They don't get the rush and mighty feeling when the crowd boos you and tells you to go home and throws things at you. No they don't understand. They don't understand we do it for them.

                                        He's claimed DDoS before right after the purge. I'm pretty sure it was just the platform being crushed by normal traffic. I'm skeptical this isn't just operating as funded.

                                          Can we get a permanent outage of that goddamned website, pretty please? For the sake of humanity?

                                          There have been so many instances where i wanna see replies of a post or more stuff about a person, but then that mandatory account log in wall kicks in.
