Yes, your fiber ip got picked up by our automated DDOS protection stuff. You got too many 429 errors. I will try to find what caused your 429s.

I've been trying different browsers to no avail. Sometimes rebooting my DSL router helped. I get little shocks from my gear sometimes, usually the router is shocking. I don't think I'm well grounded. However, now I'm primarily on the fiber, so I'm guessing it's my box somehow. Perhaps while running torrents and/or YouTube-DLG and/or too many tabs?

Thanks again.

I saw that you were getting 429 errors from the search page, and from the submit a post page. I loosed our conditions for giving a 429 error so hopefully this will stop happening. However I can't reverse your existing ban, so we'll have to test these changes in 24h. (cc u/magnora7 user DiogenesJr was also reporting 429 issues)

Thanks, I changed the 429 filter and ran it and updated the list, so the people having problems should be good now

I found these requests that I can't explain. It's like you were using a search tool with autocomplete, after every letter you type, it kicks off a search. These 2 requests are 1s apart. Hmmm. I think you should be good with the other adjustments we made today though.

It might be possible their browser has a "look ahead" feature that excessively pre-fetches data for fast load times. And every letter they type creates a new page they might visit, that is pre-fetched to be cached. They're also using a version of firefox that is 10 versions old though... maybe it's a bug/feature of that version of firefox, or a plugin

Nice man! I didn't catch that ancient version of FF at all. Browsers do pre-fetch sometimes, I like this theory.

Funny. That's the only thing that stood out for me. I'm currently on the latest WaterFox. I've also found this security problem in Pale Moon and Brave. Falkon crashes when a mouse in the next town farts. I use the crude Basilisk rarely. I don't think I've visited SaidIt since leaving Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Vivaldi.

This probably gives you a new ip address... sometimes

I get little shocks from my gear sometimes, usually the router is shocking

??? Shit dude. Do I need to send you a grounding wire? You're gonna fry the equipment at the very least.

Yeah I suspect too many tabs, trying to find the evidence.

The shocks are primarily in the dry winter. I get shocks from petting my 2 cats, as well as my last cat. I live by a river but the air is still so dry my humidifier can't keep up. Opposite problem in summer.

I'm pretty sure this house is over 100 years old. The wiring looks new, assuming what's in the walls is the same - and grounded. Only last month, overhauling my work space, I found that my last semi-lame UPS indicated something wrong with the grounding. I think.

I'd love to eventually set up some nice server gear, assuming I ever achieve "success" enough to afford it, but before I even consider that seriously I'd want to secure my power with proper UPS and grounding through another independent power line that won't be affected by the many fuses of the 4 apartments in this house. This year with the COVID nonsense, the reality of my age, as well as the reality of my stalled career, I've faced the facts and likelihood that I'll prolly live here until I die. All my life I've move around, a few years max in one place, often moving a few times in a year - until here, for the last 9 years, in a dark place. Only this fall in the overhaul did I feel like I was actually moving in to "my home".

I'm not sure it's the tabs. See my other comment.

You should upgrade your FF. 68.0 Is over a year old, and there were probably fixes that went out in 68.1 that you don't have.

Waterfox

Both Waterfoxes are working fine for me, on linux at least. Let's wait and see I guess. It could be your insane amount of tabs that glitch and load once in a while issue.

My Win 7 box is under 9 years old by a year, maybe a few. Has problems from when the power goes. It usually takes me a week on average to refine every time.

When I return with my story and seeking support, among the top things on my list is to get a new Mint PC and a Raspberry Pi to twerk on before I delve into self-hosting a Bittersweet Seeds site and/or general archive as well as to learn to be proficient in the latest Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, and other FLOSS production and management tools. I'd also like get familiar enough to order or build a farmbot. Beyond that and an electric bike or small e-car, I don't have need for much that's significant of this world. So many dreams, only a decade or few to go - if not taken out first.
