Yep, Swiss guys kicked us out. It turns out that lots of hosts refuse to deal with DDOS and instead ask you to leave. Some of the big hosts kick you off on your 3rd DDOS attack. So there's a whole group of "DDOS defense" hosts that offer that protection... So eventually we need to get there.

I don't think SaidIt was the target, either the incels or Ice Posidon sub was the target... To prevent them from having a home. One of the DDOSers actually came on and was commenting with me, it was nuts. Wouldn't speak to motive or anything.

New stuff we have is sub muting, and we are using more servers in an attempt to keep our ip private. But basically we're struggling to get chat back, email back. Long term I'm trying to get the code to run on Ubuntu 18 so we can survive into the future. I wish I was working on federation, but there's no clear path to get there with this code, yet.

What is Ice Posidon about?

That is nuts that s/he was talking with you. No motive = political / deep state, IMO.

Link to more on sub muting?

More servers? Like decentralization? Does that mean it's kinda happening in the back end?

"Email back"? You mean messaging? Didn't know you had email.

Why Ubuntu 18? I thought Linux Mint was the best thang.

I miss the chat. Would like to chat with you about software ideas. Nothing too geeky. More like broad concepts that may (should) already exist.

And maybe getting a 30,000 foot view from a newbie might even inspire you to find a direction to aim for. It seems like a monstrous territory to navigate with infinite options. A blank canvas is more daunting than a lot of limits. You can't hit the target without some focus.

It's some live streamer who everyone grew to hate. I think the community here are critics. There's some docs about him on YouTube about it.. nothing too exciting.

Sub muting: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/19cs/saiditnet_new_feature_sub_muting_on_all/

More servers like 1 proxy server that request remote content for us (thumbnails, suggest title, which is how I think our ip was discovered)

We send emails for password resets. We use a service but it needs an audit.

As for ubuntu, it's really about getting to any other modern Linux that's not Ubuntu 14. 14 is being phased out and doesn't get proper security updates anymore.

Agreed about focus.

Cool muting feature. That's better for community in general to retain the "all" (mostly, AND customizable).

Wish I could focus.
