[16:32] why would you ddos wikipedia? [16:32] street cred [16:33] the best they can do is short (~3 minute) partial outage [16:35] greg-g: how are you mitigating? [16:36] not saying yet, this is the third time with the same pattern (ie: same person(s)) in the past week [16:36] :) [16:36] we're still addressing some issues, have already addressed some, etc [16:37] if its few enough addresses, BGP blackhole them upstream. :) [16:37] I don't know offhand, honestly [16:37] * greg-g isn't doing any of the actual work, of course :) [16:38] "management" [16:42] greg-g: Sometimes you can only answer with "people are assholes" [16:42] funny, that was basically the response I got in anothr room [16:42] "almost any reason is good enough really, when combined with being a huge asshole..." [16:42] street cred dude. [16:43] proof of botnet capability. [16:43] yeah [16:43] its like "we want to attack XYZ and will pay you $$$, but first proove you have what it takes" [16:43] "buy this botnet that can take down WP!" [16:44] There but by the grace of God to they continue to exist [16:44] well, WP is likely thought of as big enough that if you can do that then you can take down some other site. [16:44] s/to/do/ [16:44] the annoying this is, the attack shows they know a bit about our setup/infra/weak parts of the software [16:44] ORL? [16:45] nothing that you couldn't figure out quickly [16:45] Moreso than a standard Mediawiki install? [16:45] ie: not inside job type stuff (remember, all of our config is public: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/OPUP/ ) [16:46] nah, things you could figure out with a standard MW install [16:46] That's what I figured [16:46] So basically it's the same sorts of folks who steal library books [16:46] because they can [16:46] never mind the damage they cause [16:47] They're sociopaths [16:47] one thing we did (that's public): https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/240385/ [17:11] https://blog.getpebble.com/tag/pebble-time-round/ [17:11] cmaloney: yea, saw that...but 2 days battery? [17:12] Yeah, not sure what they're smoking [17:12] my whole reason for thinking of going back to pebble was battery life [17:12] saw the round and went "oh man, round and steel like my moto360 sold! and then saw that [17:12] On the plus side, I think the Time Steel is on sale at Target. [17:12] $99 [17:12] time steel?! [17:12] That's like couch-cushion money. ;) [17:12] lol [17:13] Er, Time, not Time Steel [17:13] ah right time [17:13] think the Time Stell is still $249ish [17:13] * jrwren steals cmaloney's couch [17:13] cmaloney: yea :/ [17:13] jrwren: My couch has an ATM in there [17:13] 249 for time steel...with a leather band wtf? [17:13] Yeah [17:14] because its $50 cheaper than apple watch :p [17:14] not steel... that's the base sport isn't it? [17:15] ? [17:15] oh. $100. I thought apple watch was $299, but its $349 [17:15] right [17:15] Orig. Pebble is $74.94 [17:15] PTime is 194 on Amazon (think it's discounted at Target) [17:16] PSteel is 119.99 [17:16] jrwren: so $549 for stainless case with sport rubber band at the store [17:16] jrwren: 599 for the larger size [17:17] rick_h_: 10,000 for EDITION [17:17] Not seeing the PTimeSteel out in the wild [17:17] so the one I'd "want" that's like my moto360 stainless is 42mm stainless steel case with link bracelet...$999 [17:18] a.k.a. no f'ing way [17:18] yeah, the iWatch is stupid-price [17:18] $349 for the base model is three and a half couch cushions [17:19] lol, well you do need to host parties [17:19] buy moar couches! [17:19] heh [17:19] that is like 11 bottles of Buffalo Trace [17:19] i don't know what dollars are. I have to convert everything to bottles of bourbon or beer [17:19] Shit, I'd rather pop for the Macallan [17:20] $50 online [17:20] and up [17:20] logarithmically up [17:20] https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-23802.aspx [17:21] That's the kind of price that I don't think my couches could ever afford [17:21] when you have to think "Car" or "Scotch" you know you're not the target demographic. [17:23] SEE. [17:23] evrything is different when you put it in terms of whiskey [17:24] heh [17:50] if we're talking Macallan, The Last Word in Ann Arbor has Macallan 25 at $80/oz [17:51] nice [17:54] The Last Word is the best bar in the state. :p [17:54] *for mixed drinks* [18:23] from what I hear that's true. if anyone wants to hold an unconventional UG meeting...
