[00:00] <hads> How rude.
[00:35] <G> hads: thanks
[00:36]  * G wonders if NZRS are up to tricks, I'm sure it worked last week
[00:36] <G> It worked from home so obviously a "NZ only" thing, but it seems strange to limit it to NZ only
[02:16] <olly> G: got an example which fails for you?
[02:45] <G> olly: skywesay.co.nz was one, but I tweeted them, they reckon it's just rate limiting
[02:45] <G> works from home, not from my Dallas Linode
[02:45] <olly> works for me from a colo box in the uk
[02:45] <olly> it figures linode might generate more requests than either of us...
[02:48] <G> yeah, guess I can't blame them for rate limiting really, they've got to balance privacy and stability and all
[03:08] <hads> You would think the rate limiting would be per IP
[03:08] <hads> My test was from Freemont Linode by the way.
[03:09] <G> Or, at max per /24, it's nearly as if they are limiting per AS or something
[03:09] <hads> Yup
[03:10] <olly> i guess they limit based on the characteristics of the abusive accesses they see
[03:10] <hads> But we're all guessing.
[03:21] <G> https://twitter.com/dotNZ/status/597602091000008704   "likely that activity by another party in the same country is impacting you."
[03:29] <hads> How obscure.
[03:30] <G> yeah
[03:34] <G> Well it's not the whole of the US blocked either, tried a VPS on DigitalOcean and it worked
[03:36] <olly> i think they just don't want to give details of how they rate limit in case people use that to try to evade it
[03:37] <olly> but they are indicating it's not just by individual IP
[03:46] <G> yeah, must be per block/AS or something
[04:04] <hads> Blocking through obscurity.
[19:58] <ibeardslee> morning
[23:46] <olly> morning
[23:56] <G> morning ;)
