Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Wait there was a DDOS too?
The developer posted a farewell rant on their website, and included JavaScript to send like 1k requests to an instance he had blocked in the secret ban list.
If you've ever seen a childish internet troll rant at being caught, then you're already familiar with the post.
Every internet dorkass just has to make their own snowflake manifesto lol
2000 requests per page load
Isn't that action both illegal and traceable?
illegal? Yes. Traceable? No.
His code was broken and it didn't actually work to ddos anything.
For some reason that makes it funnier.
Oh yeah, he slipped code into his site to have visitors query db0 a few hundred times. Real piece of shit behavior. And illegal.
Why them specifically? Fuck if I know.
Ah, I think from what I know of the rest of the incident it would be because db0 admins found and publicized the blacklist
What a ridiculous response. And objectively displays their emotional stake in keeping their filter secret, despite repeatedly saying that it was never a secret.
They’ll definitely return for “revenge” at least thrice more, and they’re absolutely sitting in a ball of stress for at least a week as a result of being found out and ostracized.
It brings me great joy to think about the tesseract guy's emotional state right now.
Oh, they’re utterly pissed off and frantically bouncing between moral equivalencies all day today. No question. I was at least on the fence until the DDOS. That prick is torturously stewing in a spicy solipsistic soup and he deserves every second of it.
I think one of theirs ratted him out
Yep. The dev claimed that they were being targeted by an organized campaign led by dbzero. So he put a script on the website to use the vistor's browser to attack dbzero.
