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.

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

??? 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.
