Had to follow a few links to find that. Holy shit, they were using a public bucket!

The fact that they're using AWS, a platform known to be hostile for anything not aligned with the far left, is massively idiotic.

Parler was killed for far less than what GiveSendGo is doing.

Just once, I'd like an alternative to lefty services that weren't riddled with security holes.

The problem requires more time and money up front.

AWS is a shit show. But knowing actual sysadmin work is becoming highly technical, highly paid, and obsolete.

Now most companies would rather hire a PaaS,SaaS, and DevOps person and save money up front on costs associated with buying, assembling, storing and maintaining your own hardware, internet connection etc, and everything that goes with it.

The issue is that once you give your autonomy to someone else, well don't be shocked when they say you're racist and deplatformed for proclaiming you're still a dude even if you cut your pecker off.. And once you're in that spot, you can't just buy a few servers and make the switch, easily..

Our society is fast food, and that's bled into the tech sector as well. It's not all bad.. I can spin up a ton of websites that let you purchase some item from China I'm selling or make sure the cat videos you want to see have enough resources. But very few can actually write code to maintain a lot of the stuff that's out there, let alone correctly implement it.

The security holes are all over. It just gets pointed out very quickly to prevent any competition, especially if the competitor has a right leaning persuasion. I mean seriously, how often has Facebook and Twitter leaked user data? The Equifax scandals. IG & Yahoo etc..

It's been the biggest security hole ever since it came out. But for the last few years, amazon puts "public" in red letters and tries to make it obvious as fuck.

And since Canada evoked the Emergencies Act, they might begin seizing the bank accounts of those who donated, without requiring a court order. The names being dumped online publicly made the government's job easier.

I'm gonna take a wild conspiracy-theory guess it was the Cuckistan government that hacked the thing in the first place

Hackers or some leftist employee?

IDK. Various reasons to hack AWS S3 info

And crypto is popping today! Thanks Canadian Gov't!

Excellent, though I'd still argue that gold is a better investment: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/28/paul-krugman-says-crypto-has-disturbing-parallels-with-subprime.html

Have you taken a look at the charts?

I see - it's perhaps not a good time to buy gold - though as you see in the chart, and in older charts, its value has a way of bouncing back, and it's more reliable than crypto

If you bought $1000 in gold Feb 2013 it's worth roughly the same dollar amount with $200 less in buying power today. That's a terrible investment.

it's more reliable than crypto

Crypto is wild speculation, that's high risk / high potential reward. Everyone was told that getting in, but you don't really appreciate it until you're in the land of red candles.

Nobody should be putting all their eggs into the crypto basket anyways.

Millions in foreign donations (USA $3,626,224; other countries $4,110,520; Canada 4,311,287), noted on a map, here.

[–]BravoVictor 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

Ha, still most of the donations are coming from Canada though. But "muh foreign interference!"

Also pretty xenophobic.
