DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

I suppose this post would normally go in the server updates thread but it's more of a rant anyway..

I report IPs to the abuseipdb every hour. Their server kept timing out as the submission takes ages. They had their timeout of 60 seconds and I said it needed to be 200 seconds to submit anywhere near 10,000 IPs in a batch. They did up the time, but even submitting 6,000 IPs was as good as I can get it. It had been fine for months. Now I keep getting timeout errors again :pullhair:

The error code I get back now is HTTP 524 . So I looked up that code..

https://developers.cloudflare.com/suppo ... error-524/

cloudflare AGAIN ?! FFS!

I reported the issue to abuseipdb AGAIN.

Looks like something is limiting the submission to 125 seconds. Sometimes a submission works at around 30-40 seconds, but that's only for 2,000 IPs. Something is running very slow somewhere. There's over 100k IPs to report in the list even just over the past couple days.

I tried dropping reporting IPs to 2,000 and its only half working. So something is broken their end somewhere. Even though I think reporting IPs would help and support others using the same system, it that system is going to break often, then it's properly just not going to be worth my time. I try and help communities out, but I just don't have time to keep messing about when services outside of my control keep breaking.

EDIT:

So a submission of 1,700 IPs seems to work. But it gets close to the 125 second timeout "their end" . It will hardly keep up with the attacking IPs at that rate :roll:

This is getting tiresome. It just gets worse! Can't even get around it with my NL proxy.

My crappy savings bond expides soon going by the letter I got from the bank today...

The letter says if I renew by the 13th I can have the same interest rate.... I guess what day the bond actually expires?

Well cool that a clip of one of my songs was used in the hive mind podcast last night !!




Got a shootout 7mins in as well.

The podcast my girlfriend watches. Mostly about the Idaho 4 murders.

The full song is on my YouTube channel, but unlisted currently. If anyone wants the URL PM me.

I'm not sure publishing the song is a good idea since it's a bit of a "bad taste" kinda thing. But considering the internet blew up over the case and now a film is being made about it.. My song is a drop in the ocean really. We shall see..
