Who the fuck cares.

Oooga booga! Mamdani! Oh no! The politics of it! Help!

Write a letter to the fucking editor if it ruffles your feathers that much. I'm sure they'll be waiting with bated breath to hear your objection.

Give it up, man. Go touch some grass.

JARED: Sell it all. Today.

JOHN: Is that even possible, Sam?

SAM: Yes. But at what cost?

I'd much rather be in the recovery/asset remarketing market rather than the primary/reseller one when this thing pops, for sure.

So, sort of specialized? but not really.

That's the spirit!

Chill out and have some fun

Edit: tamping down a bit of my prickliness because it looks like this individual is a relative newcomer to running internet-facing services. This is actually a pretty good intro to that: the place as a whole is a cesspool and any conceivable “attack”, scan, probe, pentest is, has, or will be happening at all times. Some you can mitigate yourself, others you’ll need to bring in a specialist service (see DDoS sinks and mitigation services, for example) or contact someone’s abuse address, others you just have to ignore because it’s just not directed at you personally, or just not worth more than three seconds’ thought beyond a firewall rule. This is the latter. Maybe interesting if this is the first time you’re seeing something like this, but for more grizzled operators like myself, it doesn’t even register as notable anymore.

Because these companies have lots of dollars and if I treat them sympathetically enough I might get some of their dollars too.

> But again, those sort of attacks seem to happen seldom

[citation needed] and direct experience suggests otherwise. The wider internet is a cesspool and you never know the inanity that will spur a bored, annoyed script kiddie with some booter credits to take it out on the local cake shop, like another commenter put it.

I used to be on-call in a high-traffic environment where single customers pushed more bits than entire nations. I chose the role. I didn't want people's sympathy, if anything, I wanted them to complain to management.

If it gets too bad they can quit. Maybe that would be for the best, just wear the thing down until it outright fails and no one wants to touch it. One less bullshit service sucking all of the oxygen out.

Lighten up, man. These people don't care about you, and I assure you they're not reading your comments waiting to hire you. Why should I care about them when they are doing everything in their power to make this world a worse place?

This shit is getting so fucking exhausting. No, you're not going to make $30 trillion. Ever. It's second-hand embarrassing how high these idiots are after huffing their own farts.

I hope it crashes and burns -hard-, and the 'wealth' of these insipid billionaire sociopaths 'leading' these operations evaporates so they're just another crank on the street corner so they're easier to ignore.
