youre doing the same thing. 4chan didnt create a "meme", the map youre seeing is from digitalattackmap.

How do people get digitalattack map to show today? I can only see yesterday on there and some people are posting images that say the 15th.

Either way, it's being taken out of context. There are always DDoS attacks like that. The past couple of months has had constant traffic on their timeline.

some other maps are showing the same stuff, but DDOS maps are inconsistent due to how the data is gathered. None of them are truely a panopticon.

I have my own theory that these sites are actually the ones astroturfing this stuff when services go down.

See ActiveX for windows

You don't have to, there's tools that do it for you.

check out sandman, https://github.com/jeffknupp/sandman2

False, headers are optional. Nested objects are still a problem though :(

Thanks for clarifying

I actually advise against digital ocean if your privacy is your main concern, as they mention in their terms[0] they will pretty much hand over anything requested.

plus, remember when they took out 38,000 websites because the Yes Man made a parody site?[1]

regardless, DO is known for shooting first and asking questions later, does this seem like the type of provider you want to use for a VPN?

>they will pretty much hand over anything requested //

It sounds from https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/enforcement/ like they don't really have much to hand over though. If you bring up an instance use it for a VPN, delete the instance. They claim to not have connecting IP addresses, nor the contents of deleted instances (which can be encrypted), nor indeed much beyond your payment & contact details.

But then they could just be claiming that.

Aside, their terms include this gem - after the para noting that "content" covers all "data" and "information":

>You represent that all User Content provided by you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

So, if you give them any data or information you have to give them all the information, and it has to be accurate and up to date! Cue data dump of all facts in the known universe!! Hang on, that fact was only up to date when you sent it, now it's out of date ... can ... not ... comply ... must ... send ... more ... data ...

Ive actually heard a horror story with DO where someones deleted instance was recovered[0]

the link is dead though :/

Its just a guide, and DO guides are one of the best floating around. You can use any provider; the pre-reqs is literally 'a' server running Ubuntu.

see Amber Cottle.

I had a feeling this was gonna happen when I saw blizzard shilling WoW on reddit the other day and these guys were all over the comments promoting.

I open pretty decent size sql files (200m-1g) all the time in vi without much issue.
