I’m glad! Thank you for following up.
Hi,
About a month ago we implemented some mitigation related to unrelenting DDoS and scanning attempts. Might be that our security stack is seeing your connections as part of this, regardless of IP/VPN/TOR. I’d need more information from you to determine that, and try to get a fix in for your connections that don’t hinder our availability or security. Can you DM me here, or on Matrix
@penguincoder:hive.beehaw.orgso we can discuss a few pertinent details?
Seconding Mikrotiks for the price and functionality. Not plug and play, but very capable if you know how networking works and can configure it.

8·4 months agoNever said it was ‘right’. But choosing Netflix for a precedent here, seems harder to accomplish than with the many other services doing the same thing.

5·5 months agosince coding a whole game in assembly indicates deep understanding of what you’re doing, whereas the problem with vibe coding is that it requires only the shallowest understanding.
Yes, that was indeed my point. That and being, who else really can understand the assembly coded game, compared to who can understand the AI written vibe coded app. The Dev who wrote it in assembly certainly understands it and a lot. The person who vibe coded an app…probably doesn’t understand most of it.
