Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

there's some ZAians on this shit too

a "Dennis Kriel" under verdan.tech (and goverdan.tech (and as "Bert du Preez" dupco.co.za sending email as dupcoconsulting.site)))

got some shit from them october last year, and then again last week. and despite previously being told to fuck off, and again told to fuck off now - to which I got a generated-from-AWS-sent-via-their-mailserver-in-ZA "hey we've removed you from our contact list" email (yeah, super normal origin, totally not an autoreply generated by a fucking chatbot). and, well..

I'm old-hat - I actually run my own servers, and report spam and contact abuse@s instead of clicking gmail buttons. I rather hope they enjoyed the pain that came from all of their providers for every one of their assets being notified of their spam operations

(e: obscured the domains incase these fucking creeps run google alerts, then decided "fuck that" and added it back again. let them come)
