  • i used to work at a noc for a gaming company in the early 2010’s and i was the first and only responder – graveyard shift – when we suffered a ddos that employed user credentials that our postmortem found out were cheaply available – $5 – on the dark web.

    the list had hundreds of thousands of credentials w 80%+ of them being legitimate users and but only a few hundred or so had functioning passwords.

    i was able to prevent the service from going offline w a simple bash while loop that collected the ip addresses from our logs and then add them to iptables for blocking on our gateway servers dynamically and i’m thankful for the experience because the story it lets me tell during interviews enabled me to get multiple jobs since then.

    @[email protected] this is why i shared my comment – posting anti-anarchist content on a socialist platform is as pointless as liberals sharing anti-communist content w each other.

    if they want to get their anti-anarchist lols out – then it’s better to post it on a liberal platform like reddit or lemmy.world who are already conditioned to believe that anarchism and communist are the same thing.

    if they want to spark discourse – then it’s better to post it on an anarchist heavy platform like dbzer0 that has a significant communist population where it can be debated in good faith.

    posting it here has little to no impact or use other than to drive a wedge between leftists.







  • I think Socialist-led states have observed failures and made changes to survive and thrive.

    they write it down for posterity and we can use them to teach us what did and didn’t work.

    the problem seems to be that most refuse to learn from it because lenin, or stalin, or mao, etc. are authoritarianTM so their work is automatically disregarded and people like sanders, aoc, piker, platner keep repeating the mistakes of the past.
