 Ok that went viral. I have two comments regarding the most frequent replies. 1. Yes, cloudflare is a short term solution, but the real solution can't be that we all need to book services at company A to protect against company B. The result would be a huge monopoly battle. 2. Stop suggesting to poison them with huge amounts of fake data. That would only further increase the waste of resources on all sites. 4 comments
@leah the only positive thing in that cloudflare Argument: at least the next cold war would be partially federated... I don't get why people are so harshly opposed to legislature or even say it won't work. Especially in regards to electronic systems. And it's mostly the same people claiming that a 2% subvention cut will drive hundred thousands of workplaces away. 🙄 @leah Idk seems to me like it's a war of attrition, so poisoning their data could very well work? @MayaMitKind and just hoping that something will change because some little sites started poisoning? That's a bold bet. That's like having no car and hoping this will change the car industry. |

@leah Without knowing all the details myself, do you think HAProxy IP based rate limiting could have a chance for mitigation? IIRC the evaluation window for the rate limiting can be quite short.
