So... Xtra finally got back to me (almost a month later) about the DOS attack from one of their proxies.

"The traffic seems legitimate".
Xtra: endorsing and enabling cybercriminals since ages ago.

Spoiler :
Quote from: xtra 'security'
We have looked into the traffic patterns at the times mentioned and
upon investigation, the traffic seems legitimate. A user was
browsing the site and there seem to be multiple requests for different
images to be displayed from the webserver but this is regarded as
normal. I'm not sure why this would take the web server offline, though
website design can contribute to this, but that is the next thing to
investigate. I'm not sure who looks after the webserver but I trust you
can direct this to the right place.

A user.
A single user requesting a multitude of images at break neck speeds, faster than a server can respond to the requests.
GG you clueless fuck.



On the up side, I found this.
Here's one for you, Growler baby.

Well life being a shitbag continues on.. Apparently my interview didn't go well enough and I  found out last night I have been made redundant, at 3.30 this aft6ernoon I go in for back surgery, and we still have no action from our insurance company on our house. My recovery time for back surgery will about match the amount of notice I get paid out for at work, so I won't even be able to job hunt properly till the money stops coming in. Fortunately chch is very short of drivers and I have a class 2, so that will be first probable option.

I have discovered in life that when the pile of shit gets high enough, you almost stop noticing the new  shovel fulls being heaped on. If it wasn't for having a perfect wife and awesome kids it would be getting close to looking for a bridge time.

Ahh well, onwards and dowwards

Heh, I commented on this video.. I guess as it says about a month ago, and keep getting emails from youtube of people replying to me, correcting me, some even getting angry that I don't know.
