I hope you all take my request into consideration.

Discord will stick around for a long time I think. most people will just stick around no matter how hard it enshittifies, because the alternatives mean less visibility, more jank, more barrier to entry, etc.

that until a new fancypants alternative appears, I guess.

I miss IRC, but unfortunately, in this world, "ooooo I can post giant animated emoji" wins over open and decentralized infrastructure, so, yeah.

afaik MattKC has been doing his own stuff, and it's more centered on the higher level workings, which have been documented on the libdrc site for years...

so, yeah, as you say, for that stuff you don't really need to know about the gamepad's inner workings, as opposed to what I'm doing

someone needs to get a life

I saw that after this, that script kiddie tried to run another wave while I was attending an appointment. it amounted to a little spike in server CPU usage, but that's about it.

tee hee.

oh yeah a bit more context

the first iteration of the attack consisted into spamming a huge amount of "*e* *e* *e* *e*" into the search query, which caused it to take forever to be processed, and, if repeated quickly enough, caused the MySQL server to give up on life alltogether.

it turns out nothing was enforcing a length limit on the search query, so I fixed that.

100 characters ought to be enough for everyone? yeah, our friend was still doing the same shit, even with 100 characters it was enough. because the abuse of *'s meant the queries were returning basically every post on the board.

so I changed it to reject any query that had more than 3 *'s.

then the little moron just decided to keep spamming queries like "a*b*c" over and over again, which is what was quoted above. it was several bursts of those requests, but one of them had the useragent changed to that (instead of having some generic useragent), so I found that amusing.

in any case, now it limits how many searches you can run within a 5-minute period, so that will defeat his little attack entirely. I doubt he has the means to evolve this into an actual DDoS.

As title says.

This board has been pretty dead, so imo not much of a point to registering anymore... but if you do want an account, you'll have to ask an admin.

This is to cut down on spam accounts that just come in to post SEO-spam links.
