Anybody have a clue why I'm getting "busy try again later" [sic] messages? The site was unavailable for about 15 minutes this morning, and on and off just recently. Is this a normal thing?
I kept getting "The server is too busy at the moment, try again later" or something like that. Been a while since I've seen the server too busy here.
That's the message! I had a conundrum since when I got the message, I couldn't post; and when I could post I had forgotten the exact message. It seems to be getting worse. Been off-line most of the afternoon and evening today. I guess I'm lucky that I don't know any of the ownership here. A lot of the owners of other Internet forums that I've been on the past have hit me up for free work or free gear. Fortunately nobody here has my number, but I still half expect to get that call... Strange how old memories get triggered. I do hope they get on top of it soon though.
I had this astonishingly brilliant riposte I was typing, in which I would have annihilated the substandard reasoning of a conservative, but that was this morning. Its all gone now!!! I should sue.
In computing, a denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. As clarification, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are sent by two or more persons, or bots (see botnet). DoS (Denial of Service) attacks are sent by one person or system. As of 2014, the frequency of recognized DDoS attacks had reached an average rate of 28 per hour.[1] One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, so much so that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered essentially unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
i wish I had the power of cyberkinisis from the rpg Aberrant. I'd put a halt to ALL of that crap and destroy ALL the computers of the people who creeated those abominable things. Sigh. Some people just can't leave other people alone and have to cause misery.
