"The site was down most of last evening, at a time when Kurt Eichenwald's story detailing how Donald Trump's company broke the law by violating the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba was being covered extensively by prominent cable news programs. Our IT team is still investigating the hack.""
So many things to comment on here in such a small statement
A: If you get a lot of coverage you get a lot of traffic
B: Legitimate traffic spikes are not a DDOS attack, because they are not intended to bring the site down.
C: You were covered by several major news agencies of course your site got a lot of traffic.
D: A DDOS is not a hack. It does not achieve remote access to a server.
E: If your IT people blame not being able to withstand an obvious time of high traffic that is legitimate on hackers, fire them immediately. -

@clacke @laemeur That's because it uses that site for oauth token exchange, IIRC. I'm not intimately familiar with the design, that's the other person tagged. -

@strypey @lnxw48 @clacke @lambadalambda It's a very common MO of Google. They love open standards until they do their own proprietary version. Then fuck you. -

@strypey All HTML email should degrade to text well. If it doesn't, it's poorly-designed. -

@lambadalambda @lnxw48 @clacke Google was the big advocate of oStatus that promoted use of it, until they developed their own inhouse thing for Google+ -

@clacke @laemeur The plugin is essentially an interface to the remote GNU social API, similar to how TweetDeck works for Twitter. -

@verius @bob @mangeurdenuage When you give a project to GNU, part of the agreement is it is *theirs* now. Seems like Rowe doesn't understand that, but then given she's acted less mature than the four year old kid one of my house mates has that's not terribly surprising. -

For those that have it, uninstall Street Fighter V immediately. A component of it's DRM allows arbitrary execution of any input user commands in kernel mode. -

@gameragodzilla The fundamental difference here is nowheres in the Bible does it tell Christians to kill unbelievers (in fact, the reason why it is controversial to both orthodox Jews and Muslims is the acceptance of competing belief systems). The Qu'ran pretty much straight up tells you that you should. -

@mouse Has the GIMP actually gotten useful for it's intended purpose yet? -

@clacke @gargron Most of the people in that thread do not really seem to understand either license, but the requirements of the AGPL3 can be quite onerous to those not technically-minded and its not a very desirable license in my opinion. The plugins I've written use GPL3. If someone doesn't like that they are free to sue me for the 0$ I've made off them. -

@verius Do you perchance still have the HackerNews article on this firing bit to hand? I was trying to find it and not having any luck. Or is it just buried now? -

@archaeme @karl @1iceloops123 Tumblr is like YouTube, most people using it resent and even hate the platform but they can't be bothered to find alternatives. -

A roleplaying game that doesn't present an interesting role to play is one that is failing in the one thing that it has to do right.
This is, for example, the reason why Bound by Flame was something I enjoyed despite being a very rough-around-the-edges indie game. The character I was playing was something I felt compelling.
And that's exactly what Legion is ultimately missing. It doesn't have the key thing to bring everything together. It lacks a decisive and coherent role for its protagonist. -

@gameragodzilla MUDs are dead pretty much these days, not that they dont still exist but new ones are rarer than Kojima plot points that normal people can understand without hard drugs. There's quite a few old ones that are holdouts from the "good old days" of the genre though.
